[dev1101] Please add "Don't get the drop X times, get key item for drop" EVERYWHERE!!

you're not on pins and needles praying for your reward and getting disappointed.

That's part of the fun. Some of the exclamations I've heard from people on Skype/Vent when they've finally seen an item drop they've been after have been well worth the long road helping them continue to attempt it. If you add guaranteed rewards after X attempts - you take that away, because "I would have been guaranteed to get it in 7 more kills anyway"

On that basis, you might as well just say:" Make every piece of gear the reward of a Magian Trial." (Please don't do that...)

I don't like tokens because it makes the rewards feel so insignificant.

So much this. Let's stop asking for things to be handed to us when luck doesn't go our way.

Why create 20 dragons with 20 super duper swords when you can make just 1 and have people fight it forever?

Because it's not economically viable/smart to create 20 dragons with 20 super duper swords, in let me guess, 20 new areas.



While the OP's idea might seem great - the problem is once you get all that armor, you have nothing left to do. Then what?

There's plenty of room in existing areas to put some spawns in. It's also not economically viable/smart to provide too little and too unvaried content to your customers. As much as they tout it, BALANCE!! is not SE's strong suit.

You could help your friends get their stuff done. You could take up a new job or better gear ones you've been lax with. You could be more willing to do such things since you're not burned out on tedium and monotony.

Or I guess SE can not make any changes and you can spam the same mob over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until you can do the fight with your back to the screen and still get nothing for it.

Go build the weapons lol? Level a new job? Missions, quests, VW, dynamis, abyssea? There are how many empy/relic/mythic? You should not run out of things to do

I got to utterly bored at the game recently, that I'm only level 97 so far. Lots of content left, but it doesn't help if it is all utterly boring. I don't even care about new armors because they are all "Waste your life for a chance at doing 2% more damage every full moon".

If SE dropped 20 mythics in my deliver box, I'd still not play longer than if they expected me to work for them another 50 years.
