    Poetics and Uncapped Artificial Tome 2k Cap Removal

    Please finally remove it and make it unlimited like ventures/mgp/etc or at least make it stupidly larger. Thanks.

    I don't see a problem with removing or at least raising the Poetics cap. The sheer amount of things it's used for, and none of it is endgame content stuff, makes 2000 very restrictive.
    It could at least be raised to 5000 or so.

    With all jobs at 90 I have very little use for poetics. My wish is that I could choose what my alternate currency is (Because I would choose the rank 2 tomes (Causality right now) over the rank 3 poetics every time)

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Thing is, both Causality and Comedy are essentially endgame currencies right now, Causality are used for the current Relics as well as current crafting materials or materia. This is why they rotate them out of use and everything winds up being Poetics once it's 'dead' content. I doubt they would want to mess with the 'economy' of these two tomestones.

    They don't want people getting an absolute flood of the uncapped endgame tomes lest it completely invalidate the currency. If they were to even entertain the idea, it'd have to be at a pretty steep conversion rate because everything all but barfs Poetics at you.

    yeah I was thinking about that when I made that statement. It has to be something minuscule rate like 500 poetics = 50 casuality/10 comedy, dont know if thats gamebreaking already but having a viable option for poetic usage for endgame prog would still be nice imo

    I wish there was a poetic tomestone converter system where you can exchange a certain amount of them for either casuality or comedy.

    Im getting tired having to run to Idyllshire and using them for Grade 3 Thanalan soil to sell at the Marketboard and Ive already bought everything valuable you can out of them

    No. What they're doing right now is perfect.

    I have a simple question. How many years of game dev do you have?

    That sounds like a you problem. You are hitting the poetics cap because you're rushing through the game.

    Evidence? Proof? I for one don't think 2000 is restrictive at all. It has always been 2000.

    Agreed, the more newer content we get the more older content drops these - you pretty much have to empty them out on a 1-3 day basis or suffer the error messages about being unable to obtain more. 5k cap would be a good start if they don't want to do unlimited.
    Would also be nice if they added more stuff to buy with them

    DoH/DoL scrips increased from 2k to 4k I think at EW release. Nothing bad happened and it's much less restrictive, I don't see why we couldn't do it for tomes. You can already cap it and buy relic 5 minutes after patch goes live anyway.
