Yeah, I’m usually whatever with the Crest cap but this late in the season I don’t see the point of keeping it.
I ran 3 bountifuls and EC a few times and I’m already 90/90. 
I have the same arguments about the catalyst honestly. Past the first couple of weeks, it doesn’t really do much and charges should come in a little faster if not just plain out unlimited. It just makes getting transmog more annoying.
The crest cap just makes me do a few dungeons, then log out for the week. It is far more likely to make me quit for the season than anything else. In the absence of a cap, I play more but mostly because I swap characters around and gear them instead. But I’m also not one of the folks that will sit there and play every waking hour for the first week to cap out gear.

It would be nice if the additional crest cap every week simply increased each week, maybe 15 which would equate to 1 additional upgrade per week. Like 2nd week, instead of an additional 90 crests for the cap, it was 105. 3rd week was 120 additional crests, and so forth.
Grinders wouldn’t have that much extra advantage in the first few weeks, and the rest of us wouldn’t also as easily hit the stupid cap, which is incredibly frustrating.
Might also mean they wouldn’t even need to remove crest cap.

The point to the cap is to stem player progress, which at a level makes sense given if we could just go from 0-100 in the span of a week it would lead to a lot of players quitting very early into the season.
I do think it can be far more restrictive than intended, especially right now when a full upgrade now costs and additional 30 crests. Yet thanks to the nerf they did as t the start of the expansion it does feel a lot better with 60 crests being the cap required.
Although it is a complete head scratcher to keep the cap when they released turbo boost.
In wrath every meaningful source of ilvl was capped / restricted by lockouts. You couldn’t spam content for loot and past the initial launch there was drastically less ilvl available to non raiders.

i would play a different class if i could gear faster i already do because of the cap so
Yes, not releasing crest caps along with ilvl boost is just stupid. Plus most everyone could also craft this week as well, just a little time and i have nothing to do. I’m not playing stupid remix when this is broken af already. Cant wait till Arc Raiders comes out in a couple weeks.
The ilvl boost came very early in the patch, that’s why it was separated.
I’m happy not having to spam 40 keys in a single week to max out gear.
Nothing of real value came from the Oct 7th patch. They propped it up like Turbo boost would be on the 7th when in actuality it’s the 21st. Total joke of a company…The remix is on the 7th. No Turbo boost.
I had a bunch of rune and carved crests I traded for gilded.
Anything under gilded is useless for me now so I didn’t cap those ones
I would actually be busy doing high m+ then wasting my time farming. But obviously blizzard wants you to play as long as possible, as if a subscription isn’t enough. It wasn’t even always like this, with all these pointless upgrades in m+.
Just posting again to say I hit crest cap in 1 day this week too….
Cannot wait for this to be removed. I hate it
Yea they added turbo, and crests are still capped lol,
I’d honestly be saving the lower tier crests and actually farming gilded. That way when the cap is removed, you have a much larger stash to convert upwards. Basically it boils down to do you want to farm dungeons now or later? You’re talking the easier approach and then being unhappy that you have no reason to do content.
It sounds like you don’t really enjoy the content though and just want to upgrade your gear and then be done.
Tbh you don’t even have to save.
You can convert now, you just can’t use them. I ran into this problem on my druid.
Converted all of my crests, but I couldn’t use the packs due to the cap lol.
Not at all. I enjoy the journey. Caps prevent the journey from progressing
I enjoy mythics a lot, they’re the only reason I still play this game. But being told I cannot progress in any way shape or form doesn’t make me want to play. It’s just frustrating
Even if I could progress in a SUPER SMALL way, that’s still progress and I’d be fine with it. The issue for me is the hard stop. It feels like a parental control. Like “Ok you’ve played your allotted time for the week, now you’re not allowed to progress anymore. Just log off…”
That’s what I did. So now I’m sitting here with nothing to do. I understand why the cap exists but does it really need to be such a hard cut off? If you’re like me and primarily to mythics, you have zero reason to play outside of vault.
I can’t even go do raids for crests. I’m literally just done with the game for the week. Ugh
