People act like they can't simply turn a dial here and there and remove the duty finder restriction after enough time has passed for people to reasonably acquire spells.
Also, people asking why the starting cap is at 50? The answer is pretty obvious.
Its because SE doesn't have a PTR. Its being released ahead of the Xpac so they can get some live field testing and make tweaks and adjustments as they get actual data from tens of thousands of players. Now I'm absolutely in the "these bastards need a goddamn PTR" camp, but I don't know of any Japanese company that has a PTR for any product, and we know that culturally, they're in the goddamn Meiji Era while being in the future, technology-wise. We have to forgive them.
