An FPS cap just prevents the average person from becoming dissatisfied with gameplay due to poor settings. I'm not saying it *should* be enforced, i'm just taking a stab in the dark as to why they enforce it.
Well if that's why they want to enforce it, they should still give the ability to turn it off. I really don't mind the default settings themselves not being to my liking, just the inability to change them, and SE has done good so far on that end I'll admit.

They should just link fps settings to auto-detect, maybe less people would choose poor caps that way.
And/or use auto-detect to give info on which settings are going to work at what FPS rating .

I do too actually, though i've never tried with a higher cap. I'm 99% certain I couldn't run a smooth 120 though so i wont even bother.
Nah, I probably could get it run smoothly at 120FPS, but that'd be such a huge graphical downgrade, probably worse than ever getting FFXI to run at 999FPS.
