Current Empy 95 Price

[Rezeak]

Imo i feel this new 1500 item for empyrean is a step back for SE for a few reasons.

atm the drop rate is something like 1 in 5 (inc pouchs) meaning you need to do around 7000 runs

if on a good day you get a run done in 20 min it would take you 2333 hours to complete it if say you play this game 4 hours a day on average then your looking at 583 days to complete a weapon.

Now here's the question i have for SE and i really think it's a fair one.

Do you really feel it's healthy for a player to play Final fantasy for 30 hours a week for 2 years to obtain the upgrade from 90->95 ?


Anyway i can see the reasoning SE added this

1. To force people to do Voidwatch since nearly 50% of people have an emperyan so the content would be successful

2. To balance relics/mythics with empyreans.

With the first issue SE you need to look at the rates of drops on 1 chest per person considering you feel doubling the drop rate for 18 pple on a 1 chest system is fair when it really means it's nearly 9 x harder than if it was a shared pool

Which means eventually people that miss out on the drops won't get them since 18 people don't have the time for such a low drop rate for one person.

This is all VW/WoE stuff... and really should be addressed if you want to move people out of abyssea.

With 2 and this is where i feel you have overlooked something.

If you just made Relics/Mythics stronger and easier then you'd not annoy anyone infact you'd get people to keep playing ffxi.

But by making so only 10% of the people that have empyrean will be able to upgrade to a 95 version you have annoyed 90% of the people that have existing empyreans and to some extent the 10% that will eventually make the 95s prolly wouldn't be to happy about the time they invested to complete them. since the upgrade is so weak...)

I find it insulting that you ask me to put 1-2 years into weapon i have already made to 90 in a game i have put 6 years~ into already
