Please, please, PLEASE do something about WoE and Spell Drops!

[Misi]

I stopped counting after 100k+ worth a merit points and not getting a single blm spell. An adjustment would be much appreciated. Even better if the odds of whats in the chest are increased by what job you are currently on. More scrolls would hopefully eliminate the absurd AH prices.

Also,could you ask the devs to eliminate or reduce log drops? I think I've gotten enough logs to make a fort that would rival Fort Ghelsba.

I have to agree. BLM has been my first and main job since i started years ago (i forget when... insert "some time ago") and I can't get ahold of any of the later spells.

i get a few hrs an evening to log in after work, so with the cooldown of how often you can do WoE, and actually wanting to play the game rather than purely farm farm farm, its urgh ! ive had to give up on the later spells for the jobs in there (i have nearly all mage jobs)..

This!

Either Fix the drop rates SE, or give us the Test Servers treatment for all Fluxes. We don't mind if we have to pay 1000gil to enter a flux in Walk of Echoes, but pigeonholing us with the all to common hour wait in between is retarded! Pardon my language but you are technically "holding us back" here so that was the correct word Dev team/Mods.

If SE thinks scroll and coins are somehow directly related to the game balancing, that would worries me to no end more because it clears show that SE is clueless on how people play this game.

Seriously, having all logs and ores from WoE and VW is just WRONG. just because your player base wont craft does not make forcing these materials on them will make them craft. The only thing it has solved so far are the crazy expense for some of the Goldsmith skill levels. I can tell you spamming WoE and VW on hours on end and only thing you get to show for are logs and ores that doesn't cover expenses (cells are expensive for VW). It's wearing on a lot of people who are doing these 2 events.

SE really need to LISTEN on the feedbacks that they are already getting from those events. Unless of course you really want to rename this game "Logs and Ores" because those are basically the only things you get from the 2 current 'end game' since there really isn't anything else to do.

Oh Silly SE.

Grind before find.

wow i just went to try a few WoE tonight (gmt) and flux 8,9,10 and 11 are all totally empty...

So cant even try this system tonight ....

If you have such bad luck then i would advise you to do this. Farm dynamis once you can get about 100 coins solo which will get you about 1m gil enough to buy any of the new scrolls on the AH.

Circumventing a broken system, does not fix said broken system.

This isn't WoE alone. Voidwatch.

VW is not broken. Most of us make on average 1-4M gil per 4x Qilin... Not to mention we could open a shoe shop with how many boots we have seen.

Trade your cells, cap your lights, proc your TH - and you will get drops half the time. If you don't - keep all the synth mats and AH or NPC them. Still a great way of making gil. After doing 4-8x qilin's you can just straight out buy one of the scrolls you miss.

I do agree with WoE though. If you're not a SMN or PLD you might as well not bother. The drops in WoE are terrible - and yes for some reason I could open a bank with the amount of coins of ruin I could have kept. Coins of Ruin seem like a stupidly high drop rate compared to other coins (if people actually make WoE weapons these days).

Perhaps tie the coins into what job you are currently on - ie BLM will get ruin, RDM will get coin for sword - etc etc.

Another suggestion is copy the voidwatch format loosely and implement that into WoE. Give everyone the ability to read hints for staggers, add alignment that is shared with everyone in that conflux, give all the mobs the ability to be proc'd (or on multi-boss zones like the mandies - can proc only the pink ones or something).

Finally add some form of gil or cruor reward to the end - doesnt have to be much, however when people are grinding out WoE and get nothing for the 4-5 hours that they may spam it for - it gets a little unmotivating. WoE is dying fast - and for an event that needs quite a lot of participants to work, it will head in the same direction as Campaign. We all know how bad campaign is these days (even with the exp/IS buff)

My record is 29 plates out of 34 qilin runs (didn't get any pouches in the first 28 runs, got lucky with 2 pouches within 5 runs of each other.) You must be pretty damn lucky if you're doing 1-4M per 4x qilin. Is that per person or as a group?
