    I fail to see how this is useful over an "Add to treasure pool" option. It is still something that person already has and is "hitting the floor" only further proving that this system doesn't promote fair distribution to the population. The drop rates are already low as it is, so why this system doesn't allow a player who already possesses the item to give it to open lot treasury over destroying it doesn't make sense.
    They don't want you to get the drops at all, it's already at the extreme to keep it away from you as much as possible without making people not do it at all. Adding to loot pool is about letting players attain their goals instead of work towards them, that's why they don't add it and never will till the content is outdated and there is a new carrot chase game added.

    I'm close to 600 Voidstones on my character right now and honestly I think it's best to just keep letting them build up instead of killing myself on this shitty lootsystem.
    For those of us that do VW regular there isn't a mass amount of other stuff to actually do anymore but yeah you are completely correct, avoid VW if you have other stuff to do It's rage inducing.

    Last I checked, working towards something involves progression. If I kill Kaggen 200 times and have yet to see a body drop, I'm no closer to getting it than someone whos fighting Kaggen for the first time.

    Undoubtedly, you'll say the same about Salvage drops, since killing QQTH 100 times doesnt make a Macha's Coat more likely to drop, however there is still SOME progression involved as atleast your group can say "you've committed the most to the group without getting anything, its yours" when it drops.

    That's why I'm not playing the game hardcore right now. I don't mind doing some VWNM fights for fun or getting wins, but I absolutely refuse to sink 100+ fights for a single item. I'm not falling for their trap. Otherwise I'm only really doing dyna to get my RDM / BLU +2 relic items.
