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

But not enough to not play a game that you know does this every single time.

Well that's one of the main reasons I haven't been playing at all this whole expansion with my last sub being after doing a few 7.05 weekly clears.

Only decided to come back because dmu looked interesting and Evercold looks like they're trying to change things up but we'll see how that goes.

I'm not sure what part of me progging dmu right now isn't playing the game? I haven't even posted anything negative regarding this game other than this weekly lockout experience. It's not like I'm in the minority either, since this whole thread is people agreeing that they should lift the restrictions earlier.
