The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[xbobx]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeealllllly. The people playing an hour a day expect to be able to go on and farm stuff in less than an hour on FFXI? I think you need to move on to another game or suck it up and farm gil. There is no reason this should be changed.

those people are the ones keeping the servers from not being shut down. So sick of hardcore people thinking that every game should be designed around them but they are too ignorant to realize it is the casual players that keep the game industry going.

Actually, it's both. There's a market for hardcore and casual players. You can't sit there and say that casuals only support this mess of an industry when the hardcore players have been known to sink a ton of money into crap like extra extra shiny special XXX-I-Love-You-Long-Time costume crap for their games.

There's a balance which sadly doesn't exist and while I understand everyone's frustrations on Flame Geodes, you're gonna have to suck it up for awhile and stop shooting the messenger so much when he's only explaining what the devs feel is better overall.

You know what. I play one hour a day and I want a mythic. Make that happen SE. Make it so I can get a mythic in like a month playing an hour a day. I'm a casual player.

Lol at comparing an elemental magian to a mythic. Seriously you're not even trying.

You missed the point. I seriously don't believe SE would fix this precious flame geode dealio when they won't even fix the current alexandrite supply issue, and that has been an issue for years now. Right now, you have the option, you just aren't taking advantage of it, but people doing mythics can't even do that by themselves without the aid of others(and that's dedicated players too). There are enough in circulation, you just are too unwilling to buy the geodes. That's the issue. I wouldn't mind more geodes in circulation and a price drop on them, but do we need them and need to try to make a valid point to SE to change this so it will satisfy the noobs? No. Flat out. This is just sad that people waste the dev's time with nonsense like this.

Fixing alexandrite supply would likely take a bit more effort than fixing flame geode supply. Although admittedly, just increasing drop rates in NNI might do the trick.

No lol. They should just make the salvage requirements to 1 person. This way people could solo it daily. OR at least make linen pouches tradable via platinums off floor 100. There is no harm in this. Hell even making them drop in VW as rare slots would do alot. And for flame geodes, this isn't a serious issue. Atleast you can solo them. Or solo the gil efficiently. But seriously if you only play 1 hour a day, you can't expect them to change this for the 1% of people who do.

Wait, so Alexandrite should be made easy to obtain, but flame geodes should not? Why should Mythic seekers catch a break, but not normal players? Hell, let's all solo us some Mythics then! Screw geodes!

You can solo the gil for Alex too. What's your point?

But seriously if you only play 1 hour a day, you can't expect them to change this for the 1% of people who do.

Instead they should change Alex distribution for the 1% of people who are seriously after Mythics?

Wow, change every time you said 'geode' to 'alexandrite' in there and you have a pretty good response give or take some words here and there that have to come out.

Your post was just ignorant. There is no issue with the Alex supply other than it is not worth players time to go do Salvage. There are plenty of Alex out there for 18-25k that you are not willing to buy. I also know someone who has a mule and a random friend come warp-enter him into salvage so he can go solo it. He is under 2k alex away from finishing his Terp.

SE recently added Neo Nyzul which believe it or not is adding a good amount of alex into the system. The new salvage changes too will guarantee there is more than enough chance to bring alex into the system and acquire it.

Comparing geodes to alex is rather foolish.
