Fix the new scrolls issue

[Atomic_Skull]

I can understand trying to make Comet rare, but even the basic ones like Thunder V and Blizzaja?

Not to mention they are in content no one does and by the looks of how few have even made it to the AH it's not like it's making anyone do this worthless content. The only thing I see it's making more people just cancel like myself.

If they make the common what would be the point of doing the new BCNMs?

This is where XIV wins big time.

Spells are learned as you level up.

XIV has already failed and the PS3 is not going to save it. At the pace they are fixing it it probably won't be ready until 2013. No MMO in history has managed to recover from a failed launch and if XIV somehow manages to be the exception it will be an unprecedented miracle.

The odds are against it.

Now I've heard everything. Time to get ready for 2012 and the Mayan prophecy.

In any case, not matching initial demand with the appropriate supply of scrolls was very poorly played this time around. Any rationale by S-E developers can't possibly justify it now any more than it could be justified in '05-'06 during the last reign of inflation.

Yeah. The difference is our WoE thread isn't complaints about how scrolls are not affordable or hard to get or just darn impossible and mean. It's a static observation that drop rates are low from WoE and nothing more.

If they wanted to force us to do the crappy endgame events they made that almost everyone hates they should of made the scrolls r/e and drop a lot more plentifully, as it is they just pissed everyone off. whoever is in charge now (lol) just has no idea how to run a game or how to deal with their playerbase. If they wanted to make the game more annoying again they should of at the very least done it gradually.

It's almost as if the guy that made FFXIV completely and utterly fail is in charge of FFXI again

The update is pitiful in terms of content and the decisions they made with what they did add, it's like they wanted to annoy us.

Boo hoo, I have to do events to get items I want.

Oh wait, we are playing an mmo? Where would you rather have spells come from? Just from NPC?

Lets put it this way, if they made events that didnt drop anything people wanted, no one would do them, no matter how fun they are. They would do it once for the fight, and be done with it.

Upping the drop rates on stuff will just turn this game into a rift/WOW clone where you do things once then never do it again cause things are like 99% drop rate. Game will get boring fast, and we'll beat content faster than they can impliment it. Do you really want that? It's very boring.

I'd like to see spells that only have one source be given multiple sources. That way at least people can choose whether they want to quest, farm, join an event, or do a BCNM for their scroll. They'd still have to be "earned" but at least people could pick their poison.

You are describing FFXI, blue/yellow proc = very high drop rate. The game is already at that point, genie is out of the bottle. You can't make a game a certain way then just expect everyone to eat the old ways again, the vast majority of players just won't accept it now.

I don't mind some sliding to a more difficult system but if there is no outcry at how bad this update was we will be back to HNM drop rates where it took 3+ years to get one piece of armor. Very few XI players are as hardcore as we used to be, we have some amount of outside life now and that kind of nonsense just ain't gonna fly.

You must be playing a different WoW than I'm familiar with or just not playing it at all.

All of the new spells can be obtained in either WoE, HKCNM, of Voidwatch. There are 3 sources per spell already =/.
