How is it different from logging in 1 day/ week vs being active and not logging in after for a time? I would very much like the developer not to treat me like a child who needs their hand constantly being held and told what I am and not allowed to do with my own damn time and money.
Well, isn’t the main reason for weekly loot lockouts and tomestone caps rather self-evident? As others have already said in this thread, they’re there to artificially prolong content and keep people subbed and paying longer.

But I think another big reason is that without hard brakes on weekly progression, there is concern that some people (not saying you or anyone else posting here) would no life this game to the point of literal death. Which has actually happened with other online games. Source: https://www.thegamer.com/15-people-w...g-video-games/

Even if you and 99.9% of adult players have self control, it only takes one gamer who doesn’t to make the news and no game publisher wants that kind of negative publicity or a lawsuit alleging a family member died while playing their game.

I remember FF11 and FF14 1.0 had a disclaimer on login to not forget your family,friends, school, work etc. IIRC that disclaimer went away in ARR with the advent of weekly loot lockouts and tomestone caps.
