Eleven Fajin boots!

For any Dev team members that actually bother to read what we write:

After doing hundreds of T3s(Zilart)/T4+(Cities/Jeuno) and getting 0 bodies, I would like to mention that my play time is taking a direct hit. I've missed multiple VW runs and decided to spend the time away from FF because I'm absolutely furious/tired/angry/aggravated/irate/fed up/<<insert synonym here>> with the drop rates in VW. I'm not even going to bother going into any other of the horribly frustrating decisions the Dev team has made.

But if something doesn't happen soon, you're going to lose another FFXI subscriber.

Assuming each VE kill takes ~15 min (which is a HUGE understatement considering it takes forever waiting for 18 people to gather in one space (why? who knows, but it does)), I've spent over 750 hours (>31 and 1/4 days) participating in a frustrating event with virtually zero rewards.

Fix your mistakes.

I've seen a couple of Luxs (none mine ;_; ), but the only coruscanti I know of went to a guy who can't even equip it.

Biggest problem with this game is the randomness of equipment.

Some people go 1/1 E Abj: body, then go 1/1 on HQ synth, then go 1/1 on +3DA +6STP

The next guy could go 1/12 E Abj: body, then go 1/50 on HQ synth, then go 1/320 on +3DA +6STP

One guy laid down, at most (if payed for ABJ), 25ish mil. The other payed (without buying ABJ or pop items) around half a relic.

This is what i hate about FFXI endgame (not counting abyssea), they are far too in love with randomness that it means that endgame isn't about working hard for drops or being a good player. It's just about being lucky, you having the best item in the game that took you 4 months of hard work is no more impressive than the person that joined a shout and went afk the entire fight going 1/1 on the drop.

That's not a good foundation to build new 99 endgame on, and the really horrible part is we all know the rest of the endgame stuff they add is going to be just as retarded.

It's really sad that no matter how good you are at these fights, no matter how many shouts you organise there is still the very real possibility that with randomness and drop rates as low as these are that many people that are trying to get these will NEVER get them.

If you actually think about it that way, that there is the very real possibility you will never get that item your trying for from the VWNM because of this drop system, no matter how good you are at the fight, no matter how many times you try and someone else that doesn't care about it and maybe won't even use it will then maybe you will see the reality of it and why it really does need to be changed. Assuming some people don't understand the rage about it right now anyway.

Bumping this since Camate requested Feedback on the voidwatch system. Hoping one of the reps actually reads any one of these threads all saying the same thing:

The Voidwatch Reward system borders on punishment for the participants.

I got 3 Lux, 4 necks, 1 boots, and 3 Hvy. Plate Pouch so far from about 20 Qilins. also went 1/5 on Toci's Harness from Pil. think the most annoying thing is not being able to give these items to others.

I get it you wont let us add things to Treasure pool. but the drop far to random. Thier is only one person in the game making a Killing off VWNMS and loves the Drop rate, And His name is Gekko in Port Jeuno.

Or that little mithra girl in Ru'lude Gardens, who works for M&P's Market. :D

Gekko should wear random VW bodies and glow weapons for ultimate trolls. They could change every conquest.

Gekko should get new gear, and should say something along the lines of "I don't know what you Adventurers are doing, But I'm loving it"

This made me laugh way more than it should have. Well played sir.

Le Bump...

I still haven't given up Square Enix Incorporated, I hope you haven't either!

Just so you know. Those two people that needed Faijin Boots WAY back in October Still need em!

It's cool I guess, because plenty of people that already have em keep getting em!


"Add to Treasure Pool" would turn Voidwatch into an 'A - Class' event. Just a suggestion; you can have that one for Free!
