Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Quetzacoatl]

What about the BIGGEST issue that everyone has and that is the PURE RANDOMNESS of the drop of the ra/ex item? None of these really address that issue.

In fact the issues that you're addressing are for the most part, non-issues. Other than a few NMs in the latest chapter, most NMs are pretty easy to deal with. Proc'ing to cap Red (and Blue - ppl can agrue as to the real value for capping blue is just more logs/ore but that's also not as big as the main issue) isn't hard at all even for PUG. But the insanity of ppl at several hundred runs for the same NMs and not ever seeing the top tier ra/ex while seeing many new comers getting it on their 1st or 2nd or 3rd tries just completely takes any fun and joy in doing VW at all.

Please please please please please for the sanity of us, please make sure that the DEV team understands this pure random drop of these ra/ex item IS the biggest issue and is the most important issue that needs to be addressed. Not the ability to cap lights or clearing the fight or difficulting in clearing fight, etc.

Quoted for truth. All those updates to VW are all fine and dandy, but the big issue still remains at large.

One of our guys just came back to the game recently, and on the third Kaggen we did last night, he was able to get a Mekira Meikogai. I'm not complaining that he got it, by all means he is lucky to even have one as it will benefit his WAR and SAM. But this was his THIRD Kaggen run, comparing to every PLD or WAR in our shell who has went 0/60+, objectively speaking. That is BEYOND all random, out-of-this-world Odds.

There has got to be a point where something has to give for all those who have went beyond 100 tries doing any high-tier Voidwatch NM, not to see a single high-end piece of gear drop. At this point, a lotting system at least gave us hope of ever, ever, ever seeing a drop (Except Shinryu concerning Twilight Helm/Cloak/Mail, but that's an entirely different issue, the droprates on those should get a raise by now).

im fine with dumb luck, what i'm not fine with is our main whm having to take or a destroy a tocci's harness because she cant elect to give it to the alliance. Highly prized piece of gear that she will never equip\be able to equip.

It's there. Most sane people has basically given up hope. And as the number of competent players decreased in doing these, it cascaded down with the other competent players. So basically less and less successful VW runs happened. I've went from doing several runs (4x per runs) per day (I've burned off all my CP and AN and 1/3 of all my Cruors for voiddusts and cells) to maybe 1 to 2 runs per week now. And as I get more and more Logs and Ores (and other crap), the less and less likely I'll be keep doing this. It's sad because most of the top tier NM fights can be fun. Just not fun and becomes just WORK and Boring work at that after your 200+ for fighting the same NM. It makes the game into work and I only do work if I get PAID in money.
