    Then grind all day and get all HQ 5 socketed ilvl 70 crafted gear. No ones stopping you. Just because AF2s are locked doesnt mean you can't progress if you really want to.

    currently AF2 is more like a reward for people who played long enough to serve as proof they have put time and effort into the game in the long term.

    If people want the strongest gear in the game fast then they will want the Allagan set from the high endgame content like in Bahamut and maybe in Crystal Tower.

    Still I wish there was another method to get a different AF look set.

    maybe later add a Vanity NPC that sells special Vanity AF gear sets that have different look from AF1 and AF2.

    These Vanity AF sets maybe quite popular since they provide different look to separate people and to prevent the majority of people from having only AF1 look.

    yeah i have to agree with this... I think its a little ridiculous that they cap how much you can get in a week when you pay for game every month

    Same, it also bothers me. The only purpose of the cap is to increase our play time and that's pretty shady since we are paying to play the game. It doesn't bring any difficulty or ingenuity to the game, simply increases play time, which increases the amount you pay (if you aren't planning to subscribe until servers go down forever.)

    You don't want us to get a lot of tomes? Make them more difficult to get. How is putting a cap on mythology tomes increasing difficulty? It's just a time sink.

    Yes, this exactly. The cost of the items remains the same, the amount of time it takes to earn the items remains the same, the only thing that changes is how much farming you're allowed to do within the week. I am not okay being told how much I can do within a set time frame.

    This right here. Why are items of such value all just buyable from an NPC to begin with? Even if the currency needed to buy them comes from content, it's still pretty lame that you have to just go and buy it, and all that's stopping you from obtaining it all is the most obvious of time sinks there is. I'd even take FFXI's abysmal drop rates over that. At least there you always felt that you just kept working towards your stuff until you could achieve it instead of "oh well, just 2 weeks more to go" to get anything because the game itself simply stops you.

    Also, this. And here I thought just quest-based progression alone made the game an on-rails experience. This just brings up the controlled gameplay experience to a whole new level.

    This is even worse than the fatigue system way back at 1.0 launch. Yeah, the one that everyone despised, yet they defend this. At least fatigue only started giving you diminishing returns - this time we're just forced into a full stop every week.

    I have never reached the limit because i rarely farm them. I just get them from time to time and say "cool another one for the bag". I am half tempted to sell them off at the prices people are offering for them but i will suffer down the track from lack of investing in descent clothing. I have the one thing that could make me rich and i need to hold on to it...figures. -.-
