/r/ffxivdiscussion: Should the endgame Tomestone cap accumulate each week?

[Kuroka]

YES. And so should beast tribe and anything daily capped. Where is the difference between 24/7 no life and 48 hours hardcore grind? FSS if you really wanna cap tome you do hunts or spam the ex dungeon.

Why even have gear in this game to begin with. That’s the real question. Glamour slots and cosmetic unlocks would be enough for the level of depth and gameplay this has.

This probably sounds glib but it's very true.
The whole paradigm of 'grear up' over time is nonsense, and done for no reason other than 'but eet MMO!'

Why make an instance easier after you've already conquered it on X difficulty? You don't. The only value it has is to pull the ladder up on people when the next tier comes around.
- Gear up.
- Qualify for instance.
- Then reward speed of kill, or cleanliness of kill with escalating rewards.

If you want a harder experience for week 1 clearers create a week 1 difficulty, and escalate rewards. Just give a title.

But the whole business of gearing up makes no sense unless there is a play style to customise.
If there is 1 BiS meta, again that's pointless. It just serves to pull the ladder up, and make the game shitter for anyone left behind. (Which is a huge majority. Only moderate by the fact that casual players are leaving in droves, converting that majority into a minority)
There is always a better option.
It's software. Game system resources are not a zero sum game.
Peoples time , and interest, is limited, and is a zero sum game.
Instead just blocked from high end for weeks on end. Even Extremes which is supposed to be the bridge content is a complete joke.
Unreals are old content. Not interested. Plus more than half the time the balance is just awful and swings wildly. Not worth it.

I loved this idea, but i think it would work better with a more... round number, like 400 or 500 instead of 450.
Anyway... yes, yes and yes! Pls devs, we need this system
