We still have a minimum of 2 more Voidwatch installments. We don't know what KI, Atmacite, temps, drop rates or even if toci, heka, mekira, etc. will be among them. Would be like calling Abyssea a failure before Scars and Heroes. (I mean gear was mediocre, atma were decent but not great and you could only have one. But what came from Scars/Heroes? the gear many use now including Empyrean weapons and weaponskills.)

If drop rates suddenly increase the crafters for NQ and HQ versions get "screwed" since everyone gets the R/X one. So, the logic of "I spent my time to get a drop someone will get easier later" is invalid. How do you think relic holders feel? As content ages improvements happen, the patience required to get these items early is the price of having them before everyone else. If 2 years after something is introduced drops increase it should be of little importance. On top of which NEARLY ALL gear is eventually outdated, you work for the best at the time and then move on as new stuff comes out, That is what an MMO is, to complain of being outdated, is to complain at CoP, ToAU, WoTG, Story Add-ons, Abyssea, and 75+ level cap. You work to have nice gear to show off, or to make content for the newer gear/storyline easier but, to expect everything to always be relevant is not realistic.

What I see is impatient people, not willing to wait for drops, not willing to wait for the DEVs to adjust Voidwatch content. The other thing is the ONLY people who know what is planned are the DEVs, these "fixes" might hinder something found in the completed content. (imagine just for a moment that a KI is granted upon climbing all tiers of VW that grants an increase in drop rate, this would not only explain the current rates but, would be incentive to climb the tiers, which no one seems to want to do now. After all Shinryu granted a 90% reduction on Brew costs which people used to say "was unreasonably priced")

First people hate, loot snatching LS leaders. Then they hate the sales of R/X items such as shinryu and +2 items. Then, they hate individual chest. (suddenly people want to share) Almost seems the only mistake the DEVs made is listening to players, it only leads to more conflict. (Did I mention there is already resistance to the pool system of Legion, weren't the players just complaining about individual chest?) You are not only fighting for what you wish to see but, your fellow players (which seems to be a theme in-game too) and also, I've said it once before the "everyone" represented on this forum is a smaller amount then the "insainly low" drop rates in Voidwatch on top of which regardless of what people may think, your words represent only yourself.
