Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Chrysaordude]

They need to make it where if you do at least 50 kills you get the weapons armor etc automatically. Its ridiculous for 1 person to do it 1 time and get it and another do it 100 times and still dun get it! Come on SE......think idiots..! lol...

[Taint2]

I don't know why they're making it this hard. This is all they have to do for a ticket system..............

-Break tickets up into tiers based on VW branch (Sandy, Bastok, Windy, Jeuno, Ziltart)

-Have the option to destroy your entire chest of logs and ores and turn it into a ticket for that tier, tickets are r/ex, and
if you take anything out of your box = no ticket

-Price the most desired drops with an NPC accordingly
-R/ex bodies and highly sought after rare drops 100 tickets
- other r/ex drops 50 tickets
- AHable drops 25 tickets
- pouch of heavy metal plates 10 tickets
-cinder/dross 5 tickets
-single HMP 1 ticket

BANG! We get our much desired quazi point system, and a reasonable alternative method to obtain HMP by *gasp* actually doing the content, not just throwing gil at it.

Just make it a KI like Dominion notes so you get one after every kill.

The recent resurgence in talent at making everything work in the most retarded way possible is removing whatever enthusiasm I(and probably others) had for Legion at an alarming rate.

I honestly don't see what's so difficult about making a system where the tickets have tiers in connection with what kind of armor you get. Each fight should have a ticket for a certain tier (ex. Pil = T3 ticket, Qilin = T3 ticket, Botulus = T6 ticket etc.) For example; you kill Kaggen and you pop the chest to find that there's no Mekira body in there.

...But wait, you still have a T3 ticket (99 stack-able and 100% drop) you can trade it in to get said body after you accumulate enough T3 tickets (Let's say 50 ~ 75 max T3 for Mekira). To ensure the proc system won't be ignored in favor of just throwing 15+ DD at it for a ticket, make 100% white give 2 or 3 tickets instead of 1. The hope of getting Mekira isn't shattered and you have enjoyable content that will still keep other jobs relevant.

You did right with the way Ancient Beastcoins worked. Trade them in, the vendor holds them for you and then you can "buy" what ever item you wanted. Why can't you do this with VW? Going 0/300+ is absolutely unacceptable.

It makes VW less painful for everyone. People can still get help with city clearances or Zilart clearance and so on due to having an incentive to get tickets. Harder VW mobs of the same tier (if they're even that difficult) won't be ignored because there's still a chance for the item to drop and you can sell the tickets if you get that desired drop. It's that simple.

That is not the logic SE works on and thanks to FF14 they have to wait to see if it will sinks or swim. So anything that extends the life of content while give players faulse hope is what they are after right now. It has to be that, I don't know what would make them look worse that or they really think they are special snow flakes.

Till 14 fails we will not be getting much of anything its been made clear by SE their focus is not on a game that has made them money but one that has only lost it while doing even more damage to their name. At this point FF11 is a mere plan B, while they milk it.

Sad but true.

I'm dreading legion, these guys that don't get what we tell them are making a huge event now. Not only will it have horrific drop rates but i'm sure it will end up being content for the very very few players that can get into one of the big shells and are lucky enough to be able to attend at the gather times. If FFXI goes back to "schedule/ls only" content then it will be the nail in the coffin, the thought of what I and many other players had to put up with in the past and staying up till stupid times of the morning to do content makes me want to puke.

There is nothing difficult about making a system that way.

SE wants the ticket system to work this way on purpose.


EDIT: not white knighting, I think the proposed ticket system is retarded.

Staying up till stupid times of the morning to do content is usually what happens when stuff ISN'T scheduled properly. o-O

[Khajit]

no. It's what happens when you aren't in x y or Z timezone that the lsleader is in.

[Brolic]

no. It's what happens when you aren't in x y or Z timezone that the lsleader is in.

hahah if you still have a ls "leader"
