I really hope that the upcoming Abyssea adjustments will include a serious overhaul of drop rates for Empyrean armor feet from gold pyxis. It really is ridiculous to spend 5+ hours doing nothing but farming gold pyxis, having the lights set so that 90% of kills drop chests and 1/3 of them are gold, seeing well over 100 gold pyxis and having only one contain feet armor (which, of course) was not needed by anyone in the alliance). The drop rate for empyrean armor should be adjusted to at least be as frequent as the augmented items, or "NPC trash" as we call them.

The way it is now harkens back to the bad days where extremely low drop rates sucked enjoyment out of the game
