Tomestone weekly cap?

[NekoMataMata]

It's just a timegate to keep you logging on. It's a bit pointless though. A lot of the time you can just buy crafted gear which is mostly the same.

Because people doing HaRdEr content are doing it for the gear. Please.

-headpat- nice try. Now try responding to what I actually said.

People fuss about it, but then if you ask them about what they do, it's never anything that actually requires it.

It is a treadmill to keep you subbed. However, the other way I see it... it promotes healthier game play. By limiting the player to 450 per week, it allows for the players that just want to run expert five times per week to be on the same level playing field as the player that wants to run 450 worth of weekly tomes on Tuesdays.

Healthier to provide options. Also healthier to encourage players to try other content. 24-man for a tomestone-equivalent piece (albeit, not upgradeable) and savage content, if that's their prerogative.

Yeah? Why do you think weekly reclears are a thing? Not to say people aren't doing it because it's fun (they are) but people run Savage to gear jobs, especially after they've gotten BiS for their main.

In a game with vertical gear progression, I think it is safe to say that people do indeed do harder content for the gear. Maybe not just for the gear, but that is definitely part of it.

Its a bit weird though that its still 450 atm.
Savage got uncapped this week so why didn't they up it to 900 like they usually do?

That raise only happen when next expansion is about to be release.

Anyway is just a way to keep players sub and to encourage to do other content in order to gear more classes is jut want.

It doesn't really matter at this point. For those taking this route, there's new crafted gear coming that will be better.
They're also going to be lifting the cap once the new currency comes out.

Even if they didn't, the current crafted gear is the same ilvl, even if it's not as good.

And crafted gear is incredibly cheap this time around. I remember during ShB it was a bit pricey? Not to mention it's even cheaper than buying a full set of crafted gear normally because of the Rain Shop and the certificates. Instead of buying a full set of gear you just buy whatever gives the most certificates for the amount of gold you spend and you turn those items in, then rebuy the augmented classical stuff for it.

I don't really know where they were going with that.

What's the purpose of this limit?

Weekly caps exist to keep people from running 100 dungeons and a dozen raids on patch day and then spending the next 4 months complaining that there's nothing to do.
