My 4 man group got a 50% drop rate, and they seem to respawn relatively fast, like gokumatz. There's also quite a few of them, so enough to go around for decent farming.
I am currently in a Dynamis - Beaucedine run and I am freakin disgusted!!! We have been in here for 45mins and have had 3 pieces of currency drop. Not only that but they are allowing more than one shell in a zone at a time (I didn't know this until I saw it for myself). There WERE 2 events in FFXI that I actually made time for and they were Dynamis and Limbus. <Thank You> SE for taking away one of my favorite events. Oh, and don't even get me started on them adding XP to namis now. Oh sure, the XP is less than 20 a mob but it's the fact of the matter. And, now we can just snk/invis past mobs we don't want to kill... Really!? And, instead of fighting/dieing and earning your way to the mega boss for the clear all you have to do is farm up the pop item. I looked through the zones and I saw and talked to ppl that were freakin SOLOING Dynamis. I do, however, like the way my name looks now so at least they did something right. This makes me sick to my stomach I'm done typing I'm going to go vomit now.

At least have one currency piece per mob drop. =/

Am I missing something or all these people complaining just being sarcastic? This is freaking awesome.
1) EXP. Low, but still better than none.
2) In exchange for the lack of 1's, 100 coins drop like rain compared to before.
3) NMs respawn fast, so you can just pick one group and spam kill for currency of choice, and competition shouldn't be too bad.
4) No more locking out of Dynamis because some dbag ls jumped in.
5) Multiple shots at Zone Wins, Attestations, Fragment, DL drops, and trials.
6) New version of DL with potentially boosted drops?
This new dynamis is pretty good. I hated the horror stories I heard at first, but after my trips, the update has been proven to be an amazng change for the better in all areas. Once people learn to tell their head from their @#$ in the new layout/methods, the currency is really going to pick up for them too.
I've pretty much lost my mind with Dynamis. Im 4000/6000 on completing my stage 4... and working on my stage 5.
I have my attestation and fragment but do not see myself completing. Ever. No one on my server even tries the new dynamis. I've been the only group from time to time going around and killing shit and seeing ZERO coins. We want our old dynamis back. Now.
So I tried Xarcabard: Solo 90 BST.
No deaths.
Even killed an NM and got a pop item!
3 AF2 as well: BLU, RDM, MNK. (2 I can actually use!)
Coins??? Coins????
ZERO!!!
Killed everything from statues and demons and the occasional Eye to even a dragon and some Satellite Daggers.
Jack nor... you know... for coins.
Look, if Square-Enix makes this about procs to get any coins whatsoever, I think I'm going to throw up! Doesn't have to be the old levels of drops, either. Average of one per or maybe a shade less, so be it.
But this is just... COME ON!!
