So, no more random WoE coins at all?

Some people are happy with an inferior weapon, if that weren't the case WoE wouldn't have been done by soloers at all in the past.

It's not that people necessarily prefer an inferior weapon; it's that the ODD Aftermath is, for many, not worth giving up what essentially amounts to a pause button for FFXI.

Although I don't know why I'm even responding to this, because if the reasons for choosing to primarily play solo are not immediately obvious to you I don't think me explaining it will help.

Your logic amazes me... You want to play solo in an MMO...

Except that there are several jobs that are all but completely useless in a group and will never be invited to one. And, for the millionth time, if you assemble such a group then you are 95% of the way towards a real empyrean.

Not really because with empyrean you need war for red which is hard to find. I bet it would 10x easier to form a group for woe now then it would be to form one for a certain empyrean that you wanted after these changes. I am talking about everyday.

Is it really hard to find? o.O

Also it's not WANTING to play solo I believe, but the option to do it solo if need be. I know a few people who soloed in WoE when they only had an hour or so to play. That's not enough time to put together groups.

Yes WoE was always better with a party, where you got pouches in addition to singles. Some people just like the option to solo when low on time.

Sometimes, yes.

I think you're confusing red with blue.

I think you're confusing red with blue.

1) Red was for better odds at getting the KI to spawn the NM that drops the emp item.
2) Blue doesn't help with Emp items...

Really no.

I levelled war 38-90 purely for skilling weapons so I could leech some other jobs for maat's cap. While skilling these weapons, I made sure to get at least high enough for all war red procs. Took me about 3 days to skill and a day to exp, and I'm not one of these 16 hours-a-day people. Everyone in my LS has war90 and almost everyone I meet. Almost none of the war that I meet are missing any red procs either.

The WoE weapon is nice if you juggle multiple classes and do not care to grind up Emps from 75->90 repeatedly.

I meant that getting all the red weapon skills on WAR is ridiculously easy, while skilling everything up to get all possible blues isn't.
