That's because you are narrowminded. No sky item was 1% droprate. The most "sought after" item used to be byakko's haidate and is like 50% droprate and used to be killable fairly easily with a single party. Also how can one possible do 54 VWNM is one night idk. Is this the new fun people have been talking about ? I want salvage back.

Byakko USED to be killed by an alliance, if you remember your history correctly. Honestly, I think a 50% drop rate is retardedly generous (at the time). The more awesome the reward, the more difficult it MUST be to obtain it.

The issue is that people want stuff handed to them, because they don't know what it's like to go weeks or months and getting a) out-claimed, or b) shit drops if they survive the claim. Sky Gods alleviated this to a point by making the end-Gods (Genbu, Byakko etc) forced spawns, but keeping the spawn items open.

Now you can kill Sky gods in low-man parties, but that wasn't always the case. You're comparing modern Abyssea to modern Sky, and that isn't the issue. The issue is that players no longer have to work for Lv.99, so they don't think they should have to work for gear, either.

Your post is entirely wrong. While it's true that most people where farming sky in alliances, it's also true that all sky Gods were killable with 6 (good players). The diffence bewteen the old sky and today's VW is the following :

- old sky : plan your runs like once a week and get items at a highdrop rate.
- voidwatch : spam 54 NM and get nothing, oh but the mass is happy because there is no time restriction like salvage & limbus, but it's a giant grind.

True story, I didn't get past city missions as far as voidwatch goes, but after seeing JPs kill Ig-ilama or morta I don't see exactly what "skill" or "fun" those fights are implying. I mean you are basically locking mobs with procs and killing them in a few seconds..
