While, I appreciate the analogy you miss the point. First, I'm glad you can get into Voidwatch and work on it daily. However, much of the server is alienated from this process. The more of the server able to participate the more runs can be created and the more opportunities to obtain this gear. Fact is unlike abyssea, voidwatch has been slow to take off due to the misconception that great gear is mandatory, which I'm sure most people would agree great gear is not a common thing. You could find 10+ runs of a single NM on a daily basis if the same held true for VW most people even those at 0/400 would have a body by now. But, as things stand perhaps 1-2 (if you are lucky) will take place each day. VW is not a common event and drop rates are not the only issue. Numerous runs need a pld or war that i wish to join, but my gear is not "elite" so i cant join. (That's one less person for the run in question imagine if everyone in my shoes could join any run, I'd wager there would be more) What I'm saying is the more people can access the material the more runs can be made. I'm hard pressed to believe anyone would claim "they don't need VW gear".

Second, unlike a car business (which doesn't manufacture cars but rather sells them) simply creating content is not such a simple task. To make a more appropriate analogy it would be like a department store, this department store is responsible for manufacture and sale of product. Now, people have complained about the mattresses in the bedding department. The store must then weigh the mattresses to the other products, perhaps they also have renovation (Legion, Neo-Nyzul) on the kitchen department. The game is not Voidwatch XI it is Final Fantasy XI and priorities are made as a whole not on "a single product". Also, to continue with the car analogy Yes, it is reasonable to expect a person to wait for the cars to be fixed, because to fix cars built with marshmallow tires would require a new production cycle plus whatever safety tests, blueprints, and planning that may be required to make new cars. (in our case Programming, Testing on test servers and scheduled implementation) If Voidwatch is all that's left for a particular player in this game, then they should have no issue doing many runs a day to acquire the last piece of gear before they are 100% done with the game. Nobody is paying each month for Voidwatch you pay for FFXI, if someone truly does nothing but voidwatch all day then they will get body soon enough.

We can't even know if the discussions for drop changes are taking place right now, but, with such a hostile environment anything the MODs say has to be carefully thought out. Therefore, they could very well have a plan in place but, simple not yet announced it.
