Wake up, "Seekers" is failing

[Monchat]

Even if you farm 6 marrows/2h run with 8(?) characters, that's ~3.75m/char or player/hour. A T1-T6 run is worth ~71k plasm, resulting in 28 airlixir+1s per player. The 100% horn won't degrade below 10m. You get ra/ex drops, a handful of elixirs from the NMs themselves, and you're doing new and exciting content that requires an attentive alliance instead of beating up on a harmless NM from over a year ago. Two runs with a 1h reset in between is going to be as profitable as ADL, with a fixed achievable goal(I really doubt that most groups can farm 6 marrows consistantly with that few.. and there's a bit of luck overhead, you'll inevitably get runs where pen wants to screw you).

I'm not disagreeing with the greater problems, but to pretend ADL is more profitable than delve is a bit shortsighted, and I suspect you're only doing so because you don't have access to a group large enough to farm delve.

70 k plasm is basically 7M per character per run. There are 18 players splitting the airlixir +2 and the horn that dropped so it doesn't greatly enhance the reward on a per character basis. So if you go purely for money, you do like 8M in a successful run of 45 minutes. Sure it's about comparable theoritically to marrows in a 6 man group. There are several issues though

- 18 man event with an experienced LS. In FFXI, no LS has ever been able to successfully gather 18+ ppl for several days or weeks. You can act as if it's as easy as triboxing ADLs, it's not.
- Farming plasm for money seems a bit retarded. Use money to buy relics ...?
- I'm just saying that if you got say 2 delve gear to max at rank 15, there are several option for you : farm plasm for a retarded progression rate on airlixirs ; farm NMs like the matamata for a mediocre progression rate ( 42 airlixirs 20% of which are HQ in one hour to split between 3 players) ; spent 2 hours in dynamis and fully upgrade 2 pieces of delve gear with 6 marrows used to buy some airlixirs +2 ; spam delve with 18 man ally nowhere available plus you need one that clears bosses. The last possibilitie is not even faster that the marrow one and very unlikely. I mean it's clear to anyone that anyone doing boss atm is capped on delve gear.


Anyway the marrow part of the post is anectotical. The point is seekers didn't make player move to the extension. Here is a copy/pasta of the shouts happening on quetz

All I see is abyssea exp and salvage with one shout for delve NMs .. It's pretty pathetic considering jps are the most involved into delve...
