The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

People. Please use your and you're properly. It's disgusting to constantly read. I'm saying he feels empy/relic/mythic are out of reach. Ok so he had bad luck and probably bad kill speed, which resulted in no geode drops. NEEDS TO BE FIXED GUYS.

Of all the most condescending, elitist, stubborn... (I think you catch my drift). Get off your high horse dude. Maybe you've played from 2004; maybe you've gone and gotten your mythic. Maybe you've gotten your relic, back when it was actually comparable to a mythic. Maybe now you can get an empyrean. Maybe not. But if so (and I sincerely hope you have done all three of those things to argue the point you've been attempting to make), but if so then of course getting a fire weapon's a walk in the park. Farm geodes a couple weeks, make gil over a couple of days.

But... no one cares. Hardcore players aren't the only people playing XI (and if you personally aren't a hardcore player, then you're just a troll). Hardcore players have their relics and mythics made for them. Empyrean's kind of between the casual, and the hardcore.

But there's many more people playing this game than hardcore players, and that's what the elemental weapon trials are for. In a day or two you can just fly through all the ice trials, in a few days you could fly through a number of other trials, such as wind trials.

That's all fine and dandy, but if you need a fire weapon, you're SOL. You can't get that fire weapon that's the baseline weapon for being semi-competitive in events. You're stuck with what you can afford off the AH (which is probably not much, since you probably can't afford geodes anyway), or, God forbid, the dom notes weapons. You basically play a much crappier version of your job. Hence the "bad kill speed" you're talking about; you really think the people after fire weapons typically have the gil to GET good kill speed? How about the knowledge necessary for creating good gear sets for ws, ja's and the like?

I personally was able to make enough gil fairly easily to be able to camp the AH and buy them; not only is this obviously not optimal (for people more casual than myself making the millions I made would take a very long time), but also my server had relatively cheap fire geodes (often between 65k-70k apiece).

As people have made the point over and over again, it's not like making flame geodes is going to affect YOU negatively in any way. If anything it would make more people have semi-decently geared jobs for events; which would affect you positively because then you can complete those events more easily.

The worst thing about every one of your posts is the incredibly condescending tone you take; it's disgusting for myself and doubtless others to see you look down from your throne and laugh at the pitiful worms who work slowly to acquire what YOU got in your sleep.

Nothing is out of reach, you'r just lazy.

Ok, normally I'd let this slide, but hypocrisy is hypocrisy... and irony is irony...

You're really arguing for the sake of arguing now. There'd be no adverse side-effect to upping the droprate, weather frequency, zones that have fire weather, etc. All it'd do is make not only those Magian trial weapons more accessible, but those items based on flame gems as well.

There is no reason for Fire weather only to exist in a handful of zones, at 2% the frequency of other weathers, while constrained to "Daytime Only"; nor is it reasonable that while on top of all that, "Fireday" can be trumped by weather.

No one is asking for thee things to drop from the sky in stacks... We just want them to be REASONABLE, in either supply, cost, or both.

There's been several good suggestions as to 'fixes', the Devs have decided that keeping these rare is the current status quo; and unless a Japanese player specifically complains, it's not going to change. (I'm kidding on the last part)

To the other part of the argument, I think that Geodes/-ites might drop 'once per game hour', and not so much 'once per five minutes'. but I never bothered to really test it, and I know I'm pretty sure I've gotten 2x Geodes in under five minutes, but I'm not 100% sure.

Either way.

Points were made, Trolls have come in to jerk themselves off at your expense, just let it go. Stop feeding these idiots, they really do just get off on your annoyance. So in short, you're jerking em off willingly, that makes you the idiot.
