In theory, I agree with this. However, it's only practical if you have a significant quantity/quality of instances to run. For example, FFXIV has weekly locks/caps but it also has (currently) 7 dungeons, 8 8-man raids and 2 24-man raids for you to choose from with a variety of gear sprinkled throughout. This compared to...what precious little LotRO has to offer.

Of course, the pacing argument gets thrown out the window when you introduce loot-boxes with incomparable, group-level gear.
