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

[BigCheez]

Presumably, you'd be capping each week normally since you'd be actively playing, just as you already do now. You'd only have to run expert 25 times if you wanted.

This is the 2nd disingenuous comment now. Because no week 1 group will waste time reclearing a fight for gear when you can use that time for progging the next fight, and you know that.

What's your problem?

The expectation is generally that you have capped tomes in advance of raid and bought any upgrades that you can before raiding on week 2. This would definitely make that more painful.

The perceived problem is not solved by creating an ever expanding hamster wheel tome grind. They just need to add additional sources of equivalent gear that people can use to quickly gear off jobs later in a patch cycle.

As per my other response, a much better solution would be to release criterion a month or so after savage and have that drop augmented tome equivalent gear. Then you can use that to gear off jobs.

The current time to BiS isn't an issue at all.
