I wouldn't put it as elequently as you, but yes, that is the nature of FFXI and MMOs in general. The general availability of some items are sparse. Can you count the defending rings on your server? Granted I know that a Defending Ring is much different than say a Scroll of Blizzaja (which I got last night), but its the way FFXI has been for years and years. Drop rates have actually imporved signifigantly because of Abyssea and the availablity of crafting items have gone way up because of it. Just keep going for what you want. You'll eventually get it.
