Ok...let me level with you here SE...

SEs post on the JP forums suggests they are 100%. Technically ADL has his own built in 50-75% drop rate on a 100% item though lol.

[Vold]

tl;dr ...

Or rather, that I have friends willing to do this with the confidence that their help will be reciprocated is difficult to believe. Large scale events eventually crumbled for a myriad of reasons of which selfish jerks were the greatest perpetrators. Now that individualism and multi-accounts have been bumped up into the 'ruling division' of getting things accomplished the return to a larger scale is a crimp in their stride and thus unwelcome. I'm willing to bet this is mostly because of the bridges burned from previous assholishness. Sucks to be them.

Or people with a life now because they grew up after 8 years of playing. Sucks to be them, I guess. Righto? Eff'm. Goofballs never should have stopped owning in a hardcore shell. They earned that lv75 relic but we're 99 now and according to videogame law that means they have to bust their asses off all over again to get lv99 weapons. SE should not just rightfully hand it to us like pretty much everything else that's been upgraded from 75 with augments and magian trials. Who cares about justice here. Eff'm. I want my exclusive lv99 weapon that's even more prestigious than before.

Lol. I never thought I'd see the day when relic holders would be hating on each other. SE sure knows how to play with emotions and prestige.

People have killed ADL and PW...its 1 item at 100%. Unless SE ninja changes something, but at this point, it would probably be in their better interests to announce a change in drop locale.

Well that's good then. I do give them credit for that.

To hell with Prestige, if I cared about it I'd be crying as hard as everybody else about the unreal requirements. I can't dual box nor can I do RMTstyle 6 account ducklings in a row to kill stuff like the majority of bitching population. I'm solely at the mercy of having to maintain relationships with actual people, with varied schedules and demands on their lives. Yes, we're grown up now and I acknowledge that and thus time to accomplish things are precious. I also accept people with limited time are more than capable of setting priorities and staging their goals accordingly.... oh wait .. I forgot, this is WoWFantasy 2012.

Never mind.

I still think it's a bit unbalanced. The Mythic trial isn't as bad, if you had a group grinding NMs, you could probably finish a 99 Mythic in 3 days (excluding the 5 hours of zeni farming per PW). Relic's will take at least 5. I say at least because ADL still split's itself and can still screw you over this way. Kills still would be better, but that's not happening considering all of 10 people might have started said trials.
Emp Trial's fine considering it's a joke to get an Emp to 90 as opposed to getting a Relic and Mythic to 75.

You can call it WoWFantasy as a joke, But WoW is one of the most successful and popular MMO's on the market. You know why? They actually f**king listen to their playerbase now and again, and realize not everyone who plays their game is a 14yr old shut-in with all the time in the world to do shit in their game.

Something SE Doesn't seem to realize (Not so much the 99 trials, but the "Glow" Trials).

FFXI Becoming less of a broom-rape Bot-war Grind-fest was nothing that should be looked down upon. This is just a gigantic back-peddle with someone at top attempting to troll this game back to an Era the majority of the player base enjoyed leaving behind.

Emp Trial's fine considering it's a joke to get an Emp to 90 as opposed to getting a Relic and Mythic to 75.

I disagree with this line of thinking. I think the difficulty for trials should be consistent and progressive. SE did that pretty well with Empys up until the 95 stage. After that they decided to completely UN-balance the difficulty and put Mt. Everest where a gradual slope should have been.

Really SE, I have continued to defend you through the years as many of your dedicated followers have. But when you continue to ignore what we are saying over and over again, about what makes this game enjoyable for us, but still offer a challenge. It is a HUGE slap in the face for a fan base that has given so many years and countless millions of dollars to your company.

The comment Camate made (not going to be mad at him), but when you say oh we don't want to change it based off people already began collecting, is a slap in the face to your fan base. Please stop focusing on aspects of the game that are DEAD. Focus on what the player base wants at the moment and as you see there are 60+ pages on English forums, about 10 topics dedicated to this, and I am sure our counter parts from around the world have just as many telling you we don't want this, we want something else, something EVERYONE can ENJOY, not go completely mad over. You said it yourself SE, a MAJORITY can obtain, not just a few. Again I state a Majority is 85% or higher, but you seem to not get this.

People have been suggesting how to fix this. Don't give me oh that would be to hard to fix. I have seen your source code programming for FFXI. IT IS NOT HARD.

In closing, Either change the trial to something more realistic, or you will lose your playerbase as you can see in all these topics, and this one with over 600 posts.

WoW is popular because you can set a bot to do endgame and walk away from your computer. It's like that annoying Gambit system in FF12 where it was pretty much to auto-play, which amounts to the same thing. The Dev is listening and they are making adjustments that will maintain the integrity and challenge of an FF game and to assure this they gave us the Test Servers. Games like this are constantly evolving and changes have to be carefully implemented, true some of them I don't particularly like but I deal with because change will come but it will take time.

Besides.. .it's only 5 and it looks like it will be 100%. Mythic only 3, 100% drop probably. Empyreans are stuck grinding voidwatch for abysmal drop rates and prices on 95 and 99 upgrades. I have lost all sympathy at this point.

Then you can be the one to fuel the supply of marrows on your server since its "so easy"
