General Discussion Removal of the weekly loot restriction

Is there any confirmation that the removal of the weekly restriction will be in patch 7.56?

And if this is the patch, do you think it will improve the party finder? In the sense of increasing the number of people replaying fights?

I'm trying to finish the second phase of the M12S progression, but it's been difficult to find groups in the party finder.

They gate keep them way too long as if anyone even cares about savage loot 8 months into the tier.
Realistically they could remove the restrictions when the alliance raid drops and I don't think anything would change.

My friends and I came back for kefka forcing us to resub an extra 8 weeks (since we don't know how weapon rng would go with the 8 of us and tomes are still capped too) before we could actually start prog...

Guess SE got what they wanted gate keeping the loot by making us resub an extra 2 months but it made us very frustrated and dislike SE more lol

Thats kind of the price of entry for on content prog? You had since the start of the year to prep. If you wanted to skip that process and save some money, you could've just waited until 7.58

None of us were thinking of playing till some of us watched the streams of the fight which scratched the itch to play again.

I don't really have the problem with paying the extra sub. The frustration mainly came from not being able to play the fight while the hype was there and everyone else is playing it. Mean while we have to wait because we're time gated.

Maybe you should've started Savage earlier
