Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Runespider]

And I call BS on 138 fights and 2 drops. Or maybe you don't trade cells or don't cap lights?

This comment annoys me, I and some friends do at least 8 VW runs a day on the 2-3 NMs we want the body from. Every day (nothing else to do on FFXI aside from VW and I'm not moving from these to the otehr NMs till I get them, or get sdo pissed off I give up on VW competley). That alone is 56 kills per week and we've been doing VW since a few weeks after it was added, last couple of months have been spamming t3 only. I know lots of people that I do these same 2 NMs again and again, use cells, lights almost always capped (always capped since update...big difference white makes lol...not).

I see the same group of people doing them over and over and then new people join go 1/1 or 1/5 or 1/10 (and say finally...). It's completely retarded.

As I said before it's not the horrible grind that kills everyone the most, it's the fact some people get them almost instantly and others take forever or will literally never get them at all lol Wtf is that really, what kind of stupid reward system is it that does not reward you for doing the event successfully to this amount? Random to this degree is completely crap.

This event doesn't reward effort it rewards being able to throw a dice and make it balance on a corner. These devs need to gtfo with their love affair with random number generators, when I played other MMOs you could work out which gears you needed, organise events around it and get your gear within a decent amount of time. In FFXI you work out the gear you aren't going to ever get and waste your time doing content that your bored to death with chasing the carrot that's painted on the wall. The whole idea of Square endgame is not letting you get the drop and to put as many obstacles in your way to it as possible, instead of making new content to use this gear in they make it all about the gear and making it unobtainable.
