    Everything in this game is design to work in every way against the players advantage. Your new content from previous updates need revising with the mindset of balance. For example, Neo-Nyzul Isle and Voidwatch drop rate.
    They addressed this at least on JP forum, they might have translated it but I don't remember. Anyway the reason why VW drop rates are "low" are because you can spam the NM infinite times in a row assuming you have stones or gil/CP/AN to get more stones. Unlike Nidhogg/Fafnir/KB etc which had decently high drop rates, those mobs only spawn once a day or once every several days. Not only was your chance of claiming it low, but the chance that it would drop the intended item and the chance of you winning the lot vs other people who needed/wanted it weren't 100%.\

    Old NMS-
    -Spawn time
    -Competition
    -Drop rate moderate-high
    -Chance of winning lot vs others varies
    -HNM fights could more than an hour for some shells, only the really well geared, well coordinated shells were able to kill top tier HNMs at 75 very quickly. Average LS took a while to down them if they weren't prepared.

    Compare to VW:
    -Always gives you SOMETHING
    -Fights last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
    -Can be spammed indefinitely.
    -Can be spawn it any time
    -Low drop rate on equipment.

    So even if the drop rate for a body piece is 2-3%, since you could do 70 of them in a day, your chance of getting it is rather high, compared to Ebody at 75 which could take months of trying to get due to 1) trying to claim vs competition. 2) if you claim, will it drop? 3) if it drops, is it your turn to lot?

    Also ppl exaggerate when they say they go 0/300+ on a body. I went less than 1/70 on all the bodies(i own them all) and I doubt that it was luck considering I have all of them. Most people who say they go 0/300+ are people who don't actually record how many runs they do because almost every time I do a T3 or a T4 there are 2-3 ppl who get a body.


    As for Neo Nyzul, you could spam floor 80. They said floor 100 gear should be hard to get that why you're guaranteed a piece if you win. Floor 80 gear is actually very amazing(check the stats) if you do enough floor 80(even chumps can get to 80 easily) you get a floor 100 piece. People are complaining about how hard it is to get to floor 100 but the gear is amazing for the effort. Casual players can shoot for 80, put the stopper on 80 and farm astrariums, pretty much guaranteed to get to 80 for any decent group so you're assured a floor 100 piece eventually.
