Tomestone Lockout

[Troxbark]

This works fine for the first few week that a new Savage tier gets played. But MONTHS into a savage tier u are still gated by weekly caps who should already be removed by this point in the games cycle.

Both time frames you listed are bizzare. On week 2, gear should absolutely still be locked because the only people clearing the tier week 1 are hardcore raiders. You also don't define "months", 3 to 4 months seems more than reasonable. If anything, gearing alts should be cheaper after you purchase the first piece of gear. So if you purchase chest, the next chest piece you buy should be significantly cheaper, this keeps the cap in place, reduces the grind overall, and makes alt gearing much simpler.

if I would join in as tank trying to get the gear I want for healer and then go again on said healer just to rob another group of a chest they could have had

This is the way of PF. Free for all loot, if you want fair gearing then join a static.

like WoW where they want u to farm weeks worth of gear before u can even do the cool boss fight the devs put moths of hard work into. U would rather spend weeks farming for that tiny extra bit of health or dmg instead of just playing the fight?

YES PLEASE GOD, YES.

Meaningful gear? Meaningful fights? Tiers of gear upgrades so you can dabble in the last bit of content the game has instead of buying stuff off the market board and plowing through everything? ABSOLUTELY YES. Gearing in this game is so bad that I can't think of any mmo with a worse gearing system.
