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

OP is right. SE, for the sake of this game's future, remove the random frustration generator. Let us know our efforts will be rewarded by our persistence and not by our luck or lack of it.

Why? There's nothing wrong with the thread. If people have something to say, they have something to say. Also, by posting, you're including yourself in "people that are still posting in this thread."

[Sfchakan]

Yes, I realize that. However, this is not something that needs to happen to this game. It will only accelerate people quitting because they have nothing left to do.

You're welcome to your opinion, however, that does not mean this thread shouldn't exist. There are people who would disagree with you.

Just because you don't agree with a thread doesn't mean I didn't have the right to make it or that it doesn't have the right to exist.

Will people quit when they have nothing left to do? Or will they quit because they spend many fruitless hours NOT getting a drop?

I don't think you actually read anything in this thread before voicing your opinion.

That's what the opponents of this idea don't see. Events like VW, WoE, and Neo-Nyzul are being avoided by people like me because of the randomness and poor drop rates. So, guess what? I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NOTHING WORTHWHILE TO DO! The abysmally low drop rates have the exact same effect as 100% drop rates, just for a different reason.

Pardon my use of SE's favorite buzzword, but where difficulty and drop rates are concerned there needs to be balance. As long as SE decides to ride one extreme or the other they're going to lose people. The OP's suggestion is trying to help avoid the extremes which would in turn help SE retain subscribers.

I read the thread in it's entirety. You guys want guaranteed rewards for your efforts. I understand the desire. It will, though, kill the game much faster. It will happen if such systems become commonplace in XI.

Then you are not interested in the endgame content SE is currently offering. I'm not really sure what there is that's appealing for you to do in the game once you "finish" with Abyssea content. Perhaps SE will bring out more casual-oriented content in the future to appeal to your demographic.

So you're saying it'll break the game if I get a guaranteed Heka's body if I kill Akvan 200 times? After I get the body I'm going to quit because what's left beyond that?

200 kills is the outlier. Not many people have killed it that many times. Most people with an interest in the body piece who went hard after it probably have it. How do you feel about them? Are you worried about those people running out of things to do?
