Issues with Tier II battlefields

[Crevox]

If you make the equipment non-ex then a lot of people will have no reason to do it at all. At the moment, they can go and sell the synthesis drops (depending on what it is, it can be decent) if they wanted money. If you make the equipment non-ex, then people won't even have to run the battlefield to get the loot; they will simply buy it or wait to buy it. The same people already capable of running it will keep running it, and those that aren't doing it (you) aren't given any more incentive to do so. In fact, you've lost incentive because now you can just buy the drops.

The equipment is item level 119, so making the equipment drop on E and VE would defeat the purpose altogether. It's group content, against a boss. The idea is to group up and fight it if you want the equipment drops. E and VE exist for you to learn the mechanics if necessary and practice, while also getting chapters/etc.

As for trusts, again, it reduces the number of people that are going to even bother trying to group if it's doable solo (though I don't think many of them would be doable with trusts).

I personally always thought Normal should be guaranteed 1 drop, D 2 drops, VD 3 drops. Getting what you're after on normal difficulty is a pain in the butt. Not even really sure what the point of VE-E is. Go solo and get a free paper I guess?

Practice, learning the fight. D has guaranteed drops as far as I know (1 guaranteed, chance at multiple). If you're geared up to 119, doing it on D to get that next 119 item much easier shouldn't be difficult. If you're trying to get your first 119 item by doing a fight on N, then yeah, you're gonna have a rough time probably due to the drop rate and competing against others, but there's also a bajillion other ways to get geared up to handle D. If you are worried you don't know the fight mechanics well enough (and strategy) then hey look, there's lower difficulties for you to try out.

Merits aren't hard to get. Spending the 5-30 minutes once to learn the battlefield on a lower difficulty will make higher difficulties that much easier to handle, and everyone will be much more comfortable.

no players wants to join in the fun

Some battlefields just drop really niche gear not many people desire. Some people are lucky that things like Domesticator's Earring (niche) drop out of a battlefield that drops other great gear (macc body) so they can get it easily, but yeah, other times, it's rough.

If you want to do the battlefield, talk to your friends and linkshell. It shouldn't be too difficult to at least get 2-3 other people that will do it, even if it just means helping you out. If you can't fill it up with just friends and linkshell members, once your group is 3~5 out of 6, it shouldn't be difficult to fill the remaining by shouting most of the time, and people are much more likely to jump at the occasion when they see the group is almost full.

You're right that this is a problem; but there exists solutions outside of SE doing something. SE could (and potentially, should) do something that would help out I imagine, but your suggestions are not it.
