    For me at least it's not about immediate need... it's about the convenience of not needing to run to Idyllshire every five minutes because I'm getting poetics faster than I can spend them :P
    I just... don't really understand this being the majority argument. I mean, I get it, convenience and all. But, the arguments still boil down to "this is all junk that I'm spending just to sell off again." Why not... just save yourself the time and trouble and just let Poetics stay capped? If you're not really doing anything with them, you're just wasting your own time and effort just so you can feel like you're getting some perceived value out of it. They're meant to be a catch-up currency, so, if you're all caught up, could just start ignoring it.

    Turning poetics into gil is most definitely doing something with them.

    I am one who earns poetics often and spend them on gear to turn in for GC seals. I feel it wouldn't hurt to raise the tome cap specifically for poetics only.

    This is one reason why I am ok with the 2k cap. Another reason is because I already know that it doesn't matter what the cap is. Players who can't stand or tire of making trips to previous cities to spend older tomes will still let them cap, and still come asking for it to be raised. Pretty sure SE is aware of that as well.
