Dev/Team Please Consider doing this for Prime Weapons

Nobody really wants to talk to you either, because all you do is spurt nonsense all day long. The only reason I'm replying is to ensure that everyone else knows that the silliness you post is all or mostly false.

Coming back onto topic, as I mentioned in the Prime Weapons thread underneath this one, I agree that it takes far too long just to get 1 mil gal. Empyrean+3 gear is 70k gal each so I'd rather get full empyrean +3 sets than just 1 prime weapon at the moment. I'm UK so it hasn't been easy to even get into sortie 20k parties. I'm on 6k ish runs, which is ok for me to get Empy+3 gear. I also now have a load of sapphires & eikondrites that they are almost at full 99 stacks already. Why can't SE allow us to trade these for enough gal for us to get at least 1 prime weapon stage 3 (octahedrites). There are plenty of prime weapons to get too. We don't even have a "gal + 200%" ring or something, which sucks. They need to do something before we start to drift away.

FYI - Glavoid shells can be received from macrocosmic orb campaign as a drop but is rare as I am after 2 for my blm at the moment, too, to complete my set but at least we can get items to sell from the battles too.

You mean Like make the basement bosses so incredibly hard that even the JP players are unsubbing from the game? but you don't have to take my word for it.

I'd advise against unsubbing since the game is more than Sortie and staying subbed helps keep it going. There's other ways to enjoy FFXI without canceling in a rage quit.

People like certainty, is the problem.

Oh I'm not quitting, i also not upgrading to Stage 4 any time soon (i don't even have the 1 mil yet, which is another problem) Our Group gets about 35k a run which i think is average to low average for a normal static and I'm okay with that. YEs I'd like to get more, but our team is not there yet.

But Making it so the Bosses Enrage or freak out @1 min when you need 5 Mil points for the next stage, is Dumb... Like Making the boss harder is one thing, but doubling the amount of points and making it harder is just punishing, its not fun... Playing a Game should be fun.. I like doing sortie and spending time with my friends, I don't like taking 256 days to farm enough Gali to make a prime because my group can only farm 35k a run, taking a Year to make a new weapon is not fun, yes i don't need a prime (i have all the BIS weapons for my Cor) but they make one so good I want it because its just that good, but idk if i want to burn out trying to make when it takes me almost a year to get it. Plus if i make any more +3 gear it will set me back 2 runs.

A Friend pitched an interesting question one night, Did the Devs even Test some of this stuff? Can they show us a Video of Them Beating Bumba V25? Aminon? to show us its possible without doing sketchy strats/Savage blade spams? Because i would almost bet they couldn't

I just don't think people have worked out the strategies yet. My Linkshells static group started off with very low gali when doing runs and got better and better as time went on - we are now hitting 42k and notice more improvement as time goes on.

This is the way a game is meant to be played, no mercs, no easy way to almost everything.

I can agree, we have been doing the same we started doing a lot of narkuls and getting like 18k now were 35-37k and might bring more bosses in and cut all narkuls.

But Mercs, I do think have their place, (im just not a fan of spam shouting), Like Solo players who want to get into activities, if they can't get help don't have a lot of friends or gear, a merc could get them 3-4 ambu VD kills to get an ambu weapon and a Sakpata V0 Clear and suddenly you have a okay geared War that can toss a Savage blade that doesn't hit like a wet noodle. Or heck an Aeonic clear to get a Great Axe, of Gun, or H2H, GK, all very strong "entry" level weapons to get. I'll even admit i've merc'd a few V0 Oddy clears (I have also done a ton for friends to help them out).

But i still think how Sortie is going, it is only hurting the game. Lower the Gali requirement (some), don't Enrage the Bosses on a stage 4 upgrade, and if they want to time gate it more then put more Voracious Psyche needed onto the upgrades, Cut stage 3 to 1/2 mil and 10 Voracious Psyche stage 4 to 1.5 mil but take 15 Voracious Psyche, and then stage 5 to like 2.5mil and 20 Voracious Psyche. it would take 9 months instead of 6 but the Gali requirement is lowered.

Idk maybe I am stuck on the Gali but I feel like the numbers are stupidly high, and now that the bosses enrage with a stage 4 weapon... it just makes it worse.

I've now reached the point of I'm just gonna get gal to get my Empyrean+3 gear for the jobs I want & not bothering with Prime Weapons. The armour is more important, I think. I'm also now stacking sapphires & eikondrites, which is annoying why we can't trade them for gal yet. Agreed with the stage 4 NM enraging. Why did SE do that in the first place? I don't know.
As for the japanese leaving, that's fine. Let them go. There's plenty of people on here that are not completion-ists. I have plenty of ye olde quests outstanding so that'll keep me going if Resurgence is the last expansion. I don't know if SE snuggle up to just the elite japanese & not listen to the rest of the community. There is a large english out there.

They won't reduce it / add a faster way of obtaining them until they release new lasting content after if at all considering they are Ulitimate Weapons.
