if they model this after the old dynamis system get use to putting in tons of time with little to no reward the drops were never there in the old system remember the days of 6 bst or pup drops and everyone holding out for rdm blm and pld or something else if you gonna have huge groups like that you need to have a really good drop rate and more predictable drops expectation if not then the event will be as stagnent as ballista or outpost defence events
another thing there is so many end game events in ffxi that they need to be shorter events no as time consumeing and reap better rewards the game wasted so many years if it life with a handful of events that had lousy drop rates people had to catchup and many still are now that they can do events with small groups or alone the old content is getting caught up on and at the same time as new content i would like to ask the developement team to make drop rates reasonalble in the new event so this new even wont overwhelm everyones time its been over 10 years now your players are grown up and out of college or high school and have jobs and like dont really have time to play much anymore keep that in mind
