I dont think you get it, having a LUCK based system does not make the game any harder or easier.. It makes it complete time sink.. which is ridiculous these days majority of players these days are adults who dont have time to spam this crap 400 damn times.. we want challenges meaning Hard bosses/ events, and be rewarded fairly for it.. not this crap.

Reward Reward Reward Items Items Items is all I can see. Seriously none can look a little deeper and see how cool to play is that event? Who fcking care if you gonna get the item after month or three when playing this event is actually a FUN and EXCITEMENT and this is what you should be looking into MMO.
Sometimes, when people complain all the time, its the games direction, not the player. Just because 1-2% of People every week don't complain, doesn't mean the other 98% Are suddenly just crying over spilled milk.
Look around you, people from every Culture, JP, EN, EU, They're all complaining about this event to some extent, and Voidwatch. Its not just us. Sometimes, It is simply crying over spilled milk, I know, i can see when someone is whining just to whine. But things like this are not a case of Spilled milk.
I don't know how old any of you are, But I'm 23. I started this game when i was in highschool, I think i was 14 or 15. I'm sure most of you are like me, back then, we had all the time in the world. The game aged, We aged with it. However, as it aged, it slowly became less "Artificially hardcore" and more Casual.
From Ground Kings and Sky being the only endgame, Eventually CoP Came out, and we had some Instanced Endgame, Apollyon and Temenos(outside Dynamis). Which was a bit more casual, while it had artificial walls, It still had that sense of progression (Ancient Beast coins)
ToAU Rolled around, Quite possibly the best end-game expansion ever, Introducing Assault, Einherjar, Salvage. While Einherjar was hard, it had progression. Salvage was just barely a step up from Kings, Now you could get elite-level armor without the Botting involved. It still had its share of A.C and the like, But it made you think for a while.
Eventually Abyssea, The most casual of Casual events. Everyone was happy when Abyssea first rolled around. Eventually, Some became to dislike it, But it was still something that got a few people to come back.
FFXI at one point had what... 1.5mil Customers? i Don't remember the number. How many do you think they have now? No, its not because the game is old, Look at WoW. Its because the game refuses to release content that's Fun, Challenging, and Rewarding all at the same time, for everyone. They usually Just pick 1, maybe 2, and then add a dash of Artificial Walls.
The game is dwindling every day. I know this sucks to hear, But the majority is what keeps people playing. So, If you like the game, Good for you, But nearly 70% of the population since the games peak doesn't anymore, and I think that speaks more loudly than any single person on these forums. You, or me.
I don't want FFXI to fail, Which is why I see this game is in a need of change. Release content that will make us work Hard for the armor, but give us a pat on the back along the way, and don't keep adding Artificial walls or challenges to extend the events life.
Neo-Nyzul could be that event. The only thing its missing is a point system. Which it already has the base of in place. Have Nyzul Isle Tokens be traded in for +3 Armor. Could be a really big number like 150,000. This way, Even if you fail, You can get the Second best armor - leave the best of the best for Random Luck. Keeps everyone happy. I'll keep the Random Floor Jump if my Floor 50's, and 60's Added up over time to a Floor 80 Armor. Keeping 100 Super-Exclusive.
Synopsis: I can get to 80, But the Real Casuals cannot. This event quite literally Kills any chance of anyone below the best of the best getting to 80+, Even though i can reach 80, Its not fair or wise to keep up this dumb Elitist mindset of "let the gimps fail lololol", Its a game. Should be fun, For everyone, not just the best of us.
Edit:I keep trying to make it smaller but it won't work.

Nyzul Isle is amazing. Lower the amount of random floors jumped to by 4 though. 1-5 floors is more than enough to make F100
