Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[FrankReynolds]

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.....

What I see is impatient people, .....

.....your words represent only yourself.

You touch on a lot of interesting points. The first installment of abyssea did sort of suck. Fortunately, there was exp to get there, gil to make, mini quests, and a large amount of new gear. By comparison, VW drop rates suck. Whats more, is that we won't be seeing a level cap increase to 125, so the odds that I will be able to go back and solo the drops I need from the NMs that people are done with are nil. Which means that there is a 99% chance that they are either coming out with far better gear, or they are planning on changing the whole thing.

In the case of relic holders, they can feel pissed that they had to continue to work on them to keep them relevant. I don't feel like keeping your relic relevant should be nearly as hard as building it ws in the first place, but thats another topic. when most people built them, it was a safe bet that they were going to be the best weapon around for a very long time (and they were for the most part). In the case of VW, there are actually pretty good odds that you could start now trying to get a toci's harness, and have something better come out before you ever get it. We know that they have new nyzul, legion, etc. Do you think all those events will just drop magic spells, and metal plates?

As for the crafters.... really? the crafters? SE could have made the NM's drop abjurations or something, ask them why they didn't.


Oh, and saying things like "your words represent only yourself" works both ways. In this case, most people probably disagree with you. I doubt its because they are lazy or impatient. There are far more gratifying games to play for that sort of person.
