Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Runespider]

It's been going on a long time now, the event itself is pretty good but the loot system.. everyone hates it (aside from a few lucky people), you keep adding new VWNM and it goes on and on and most of us can't even get rewarded for our mass investment of time from the old nms let alone do the new ones you just added.

FFXI has 2 things for most to do atm, Abyssea and VW..that's it. I understand that drops are wanted to be kept difficult to get to keep us doing the content but it's way too damn random and rare (the carrot is too far damn away from us)...I've killed hundreds of body NMs now and have nothing to show for it other than some crappy plates. I don't really need the gil anymore and the amount of plates needed is too high to want/bother to work on the unimpressive 95 emp.

I know in the interview they stated they don't want to change it and I know why but seriously can they reconsider this horrible system, can it be passed along that this is a huge issue for most everyone that does it? The reward is almost non-existent here, to encourage people to keep pecking away at it there has to be some reward or it's just useless slog on and on. You can let it go if there is other stuff to do but VW is the only show in town for most serious players now.

Is there ever going to be something done about the loot system? The urge to keep doing this event is quickly wearing off now, even a mouse needs to get a lump of cheese before it walks into a trap to kill itself.

A point system where you have to kill 50 of each NM to get the bodies, an increase for the drop rates...anything, something?

It's not a matter of not working for the things, some of us have killed them insane amounts of times and still have nothing to show for it.

Two words:

Point system.

I 100% agree with this post. A point system would open up soo many options and allow players to actually make progress instead of watching someone else drop an item for the 1000th time.

You need more words.

Point system with choose your own augment armors

Three words:

why not? I like the choose an augment concept - it allows you to make some niche armor that fills holes in your sets. I would love to see more of it. Most armor sucks for classes like PUP/SMN/BST because the devs make something that is sort of good for "most" jobs - and war/thf/sam etc don't need pet haste.

I'd be fine with it as long as I could pick / change the stats. If its more random shit or crafted, screw that.

Yeah do something about vw loot seriously.

It's not just the bodies, I've been trying to get appetence crown from the morbol VWNM and after dozens of kills i have none and my LS leader and his 2box character both have 3 each. Need to fix this shit.

This leave the drop rates the same but if the items keep going to the same people then no matter how high they are with out being 100% its still bs.

Seriously, what changed seemed like at the beginning when these forums opened what we said mattered, that the dev team legitimately wanted input on what direction to take the game.

Then they released the job adjustment manifesto, continuously came out with ignorant reasons as to why x adjustment would over power y job, and more so lately they just dont bother to respond because they know what we say will not change the fact its happening (by it i mean any issue of discussion on these lame excuse for feed back boards) and that we know they arent going to change it.
