Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

Time stamp in FFXI???

Working as intended!

Dude i know people that got Kclub 2/5, and i am 0/167, how this make a damn difference? Fact is you have 1% chance to get body, you can feel free to tell everyone in your PT "Hey look i am super lucky guy, suck on it! ima drop it to get new fresh one ahahaha!".

I don't mind in the slightest doing 100 kills for a body drop

Same here, and is what i focus on, not focusing if john smite that won 30x the same body and brag about it.

I know a lot of people say "Remember the old days!" and I do remember the old days. Salvage was one of my favourite events, and the drop rates on bodies is similar to salvage 35's , and to make matters worse you could only do salvage once a day.... but when we got a drop, it went to the person who needed it

-Assuming you did the 154 run with everyone.
-Assuming your leader never cheated you.
-Assuming you were online when they did salvage and body droped.
-(and i probably miss some factor)

Then yes, all that look nice on paper, but you know as me is not the case for everyone, i saw too many time that people got DENY to lot on salvage piece because:

-They was new player.
-They missed run / not enough LS point
-Leader made favor to a friend and bypassed you.
-Leader decided to sell your body for 25 million to a gil buyer to fund his relic.

In VW, well, all this can't happen, the great bonus is you have a chance to get it 1/1 and move on quick, but you also can be unlucky and have to do it 200 time like the old salvage, but no matter what, you in control of your drop and no one will remove you the reward.

I didnt ever end up with two Ares's Body's because a random number generator said so.

Feel lucky you had a great leader or joined LS when they formed and not be at the bottom list of LS priority.

Though the drop rates are similiar to old events, it just feels like a kick in the teeth to hear about every other player getting their tenth piece you want.

100% agree, but this is nothing new, after doing HNM 1year long, and saw my great leader take Neptunal Abjuration: Legs in front of me, when i have Mandau and Cursed -1 [that was 16m worth], i don't need to say it turned me off and called all his LS bullshit, wait did i forget to say what job that douchbag had? oh yes, well he had WHM, and BRD only.

FACT is he made the LS 1 year before i joined, so it was more logic to give N.leg to his BRD, fuck the mandau guy that saved his point on every drop for 1 year long. I rather do VW 25x per day for 8 day max to get what i want thanks.
