For the love of god just increase the tomestone/uncap raids the patch after savage.

[DixieBellOCE]

Still playing gear catchup for alt jobs (Yes i play everything).

The gear is relevant for another 2 months, I wont even have gear for every job by the time the gear is irrelevant.

What more do i have to say?

The Raids should unlock their loot to being farmable when the next content patch releases and Tomestones should just be farmable.

These weekly lockouts are becoming very jarring when there is a content drought, i could be joining pugs to help people clear raids without screwing them out of loot.

Gotta fill the huge gap between patches with more grinding. Please look forward to it.

If you’re okay with 620 gear which should be good enough for everything you don’t need to wait at all. Just 630 your main and augment the rinascita armor in less than an hour for all jobs. Done.

People cleared savage with 610 gear. And if you need to do TOP take your main in with the 630. Not defending the cap but it’s just not that important.

If it is not that important, just uncap it xD

This would be a workable argument except that SE tends to fill the crafted gear with dump stats that people don't want like Piety and Tenacity, or that puts you at a Skill Speed which makes your rotation feel gross.

Secondarily, nothing is really important in XIV, so I guess if someone's hobby is "I gear all my alts to max iLevel / BIS", it's probably fair to make it less oppressive/tedious to do that.

But as others have said, it's a time-padding measure.

Then again, the loot lockouts actively discourage me from joining Savage PUGs just for fun, because it always eats someone's gear. And honestly, I see participation in Savage skyrocket when the loot unlocks, and usually people are also way more chill about it. So I'm sceptical that the heavy lockout system and drip-drip-drip Tomestone system is actually superior, rather than just habitual and entrenched.

This is only a half truth, you can meld to your desired SS in most gear. Especially if you combo some stuff. Point is, its not complete trash and you can be plenty competent at any content with it.

They havent changed this system since ARR like 10 years ago so I wouldn't get my hopes up. Even if it would be better.

You make the fallacious argument that everyone has the same skillcap and potential to growth.
Nothing wrong with lesser people needing crutches, it doesn't hurt anyone in any way.

I'd be happy with Rinascita if I wasn't a healer. That Piety evokes something unpleasant in me... Got exhausted of doing Euphrosyne with its long queue times day after day. I guess my gripe is more with Healer chest pieces this time being 99% +Piety and there being no token system for AR loot...

Yeah been wondering…why the hell does it take so long to queue for a NEW alliance? If I don’t do it directly in the next days after the weekly reset, Im waiting like fifteen/twenty minutes

It's because it is on a weekly lockout. You get your 1 coin and you are good. People may queue again after that if they didn't get the piece of gear they wanted from the loot table which is also restricted to 1 per week. There is also the minion which most that care about it will farm it up front with the upcoming weeks being a normal 1 run per week cadence.
