Voidwatch a complete waste of time

[Keido]

This is still incredibly frustrating for those of us that actually want to complete a empyrean weapon. Every other weapon in the game you can see tangible results from but empyrean's just have to be the absolute most difficult weapons to complete. Unless you are sitting on Mountains of Gil these events do absolutely nothing to help alleviate the issue. Prices are actually raising not going down on my server. The drop rate is still atrocious based on luck and it matters little if cells are traded or not.

Its easier to make an Idris than it is to make a empyrean. Cmon SE this is garbage. You could leave VW with the full lights and still people would be blocked from completing their weapon. The limit on Ambuscade wont help either because no one can reliably get in and if you can you can only get 100 a month. INCREASE THE DROP RATE OF PLATES DROSS AND CINDERS...

Extremely annoyed. Perhaps I just have the absolute worst luck but in a total of 5.5 hours of doing Aello I have 30 plates. That is with trading cells and with not trading cells. Make the Plates accessible I dont mind playing the game to get them but this is ridiculous.

I'd like to say that you just hit a stretch of bad luck but no, those results are so typical it hurts.

I agree, Voidwatch is one of those outdated events that's in serious need of recalibration. The whole lights/proc system needs its values changed and drop rates slightly tweaked. The only way to make decent progress towards a level 99 Empyrean weapon at this time is to wait for a Voidwatch campaign such as the one happening now and spend obscene amounts of time fighting the same few NMs. This content needs to be a little more welcoming without a campaign going on.
