Just because it was stupid back then doesn't mean it has to stay stupid now for the sake of not offending people who did it in the past.

There is 0 difference in increasing the drop rate x18 or cutting the required number by 1/18. It is all effectively the same thing. If you want to be technical alex was 50k, then was dropped to 30k, was that fair to people who had done it before?

Then the drop rate increased x18 when they added salvage 2 and made it soloable, because now you no longer needed 18 people and didnt have to share the loot.

Then it increased x24 when they made it so you could do it 1x per hour.

So they have increased the drop rate, decreased the max required, and surprisingly, everyone was happy.

No, I don't think my logic is faulty. It isn't really about 18 man or 1 man. It is about the VW random loot-swoop which is broken and has always been broken.

In my post above I offered a fair solution, 1xhmp per kill minimum, 5xhmp per kill minimum with lights. And increased rate of bags, cinders, dross. This is a fair solution, it would still make your empy way easier than my empy, but I'm happy for you that case. Because you could farm VW and get a steady rate of plates and get 1500/1500 in a fixed timeframe. I was farming 50x Qilin capped lights and getting zero plates. With my suggestion above, 50 capped lights kills would get you minimum 50x5 hmp, plus increased chances of bags. In the same number of kills that I got 0 hmp in.

So my logic is fine thanks. What isn't logical is your idea that a person should go to the AH and buy 100 hmp, which takes ten seconds and very small gil, to complete the hmp stage that other people had to go and farm 1500hmp for. That is bad logic.

I am suggesting an improved farming system, so you can put the effort into farming VW and get decent rewards, and complete 1500 in a realistic timeframe. This is more fair than just saying buy 100hmp from the AH to complete that stage.
