I have just finished reading the first few posts in this thread and I am sad to say that I too share the same exact sentiments as my fellow adventurers. It is truly disheartening to attend a linkshell event, that lasts more than 5 hours, to only finish said event with only a single body having dropped to a linkshell member.

Tonight i decided to not trade any of my cells to the planar rift in any of the 9 fights that my linkshell and I participated in and I received one of the tougher items to get. My linkshell and I achieved full lights in just about every fight yet we only saw one body armor tonight. With 18 people in a full alliance doing the tier 4 nm 9 times each, that means that the treasure chest was opened 162 times with only 1 person receiving the item that everyone wants. Would someone please tell me how these odds are fair? I would really appreciate some feedback on this.

I know that the Voidwatch system has been somewhat tweaked from its original inception to allow for more items to be dropped and this is noticeable to an extent. I think the Voidwatch system now needs a total overhaul. For Voidwatch to be called the new "endgame" it is truly sad. I love ffxi and i enjoy spending time with my friends and having fun and getting new gear for everyone but we aren't having fun anymore and we definitely aren't getting new gear. If nobody is able to receive gear from Voidwatch part 1 then what is the point of introducing Voidwatch part 2?

My linkshell has done everything there is in this game and then some. When Voidwatch first appeared it seemed fresh and new and very bold and also exciting, until we realized that we weren't getting any items. Most of the items that we do find in our treasure chests are items that we no longer need. The fact that we are finding random Abyssea seals without a predetermined job is just hurtful. Voidwatch isn't a cakewalk and by no means are the tier 4 nms pushovers. If you still need seals for your jobs then you don't need to do Voidwatch, you should be finishing Abyssea. My linkshell does Voidwatch to get items that are Voidwatch specific. Seals should stay in Abyssea, that is where they belong.

I beg of you dev. team, please fix the issues with Voidwatch part1 before you tease us and waste my time as well as my linkshell's time by showing us gear and items that we will never EVER receive.
