Please increase the buff cap to at least 40

[TheDecay]

Bumping for visibility as it's been a while since the last post. Any support would be appreciated!

Developers won't do anything because the developers do not get it and it certainly isn't helped by ignorant players saying shit like this:

...you know I never really realized that there was a buff cap. Kinda tells you how insignificant that really is in content

Which are two rare occurrences. Not saying that the cap shouldn't be boosted. But I doubt your average player will run into this problem. There's a higher chance of hitting debuff cap.

Want this problem to be fixed? Somehow cause JP to start a drama over third-party hacks that can bypass this cap during a world first race where JP loses to NA and post it everywhere on 2ch. That is the only time they do anything.

And with no word from SE and the FFXIV community being relatively calm over the issue, this seems poised to be swept under the rug again.

The only way that world first groups found out about this was by looking back in FFLogs and ACT. Without those add-ons, people would be stuck. And now that parties know of the limitations, they’re able to change their teams accordingly.

So remember that when people say FFXIV isn’t an add-on and plug-in game. With 20,000 people on Mare at any given time, and ACT being required to clear high-end fights, our moral high ground against WoW and other games is slipping. And, of course, we’ll still praise SE. Nothing will happen. Expect all the aforementioned problems to get worse (and you WILL like them), until which point we all leave FFXIV to do something else.

I'm afraid Final Fantasy XIV does not have any high-end fights. They don't exist according to forum users so there is no need to pay any attention to issues in these mythological encounters with mythological issues that raiders make up to complain about. Furthermore, any issue that arise when you play the game correctly should not be fixed. You see, the solution to this mythological issue is simple: don't align your buffs and deal less damage, like a normal player would do so. The correct way to play this game is to use your 2-min buffs randomly when you feel like it, probably right after scratching your nose to flick off the popcorn that went on your nose while watching the latest Marvel movie. Alignment is playing the game incorrectly. Therefore this is a mythological issue because aligning buffs means you intentionally went out of your way to break the game.
