Remove the 5 minute timer on the kindred seals drop

[Glamdring]

So than it would be a proper assumption that you agree with my post about raising the LvCap for entering Abyssea to Lv70 or 75, right?

Or do you support Abyssea Leech PTs?

i always did support the entrance cap for Aby being 75. I just don't waste my breath posting about it because I know they never will. Seriously, tired of level 90 noobs trying to cover their inadequacy by walking around in godly gear/Atma that was simply spoonfed to them. This game is getting to be on par with Candyland, both for difficulty and player skill.

Did you even read what Camate wrote? They're not going to decrease the drop times, but are considering letting you trade seals that you don't want for seals you do want. Considering it's much harder now than it used to be to get Kindred's Seals, this is a good thing. Hopefully it will mean the end of 600k Phalanx scrolls new RDM33 will have to buy.

Star Orb = 40 BS for quite a few bcnm's that drop Phalanx. Not a bad drop rate either. Don't want to pay? Farm the seals on a low level job, do the BCNM.....

They're not going to decrease the drop time because THERE ISN'T ONE! PERIOD, END OF STORY. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0/100_0933.jpg
^ while this is technically a debunk of the 'one seal per party rule' it also implies that since the treasure pool takes 5 mins to sort you would nvr have more then 1 no matter how many mobs you killed in rapid succession. Also i took this pic with my digital camera because no matter how hard i try i can't get them off my system

I think you miss the part where they didn't categorically say no to increasing drop rate.

And I don't care what people are killing now, BB is old content, KS are old content, KS99 is old content, go earn it old way!

Not that it has anything to do with what you were falsely bitching about (and not reading) but...

Howdy!

From a balance perspective, making any adjustments to the amount of seals dropped or removing time limitations would have to be dealt with extremely delicately, mainly due to the fact that these seals are used in certain quests as well as other battlefields. Any change to the amount in circulation would ultimately result in a reduction in item value. To avoid this, we are thinking about making it possible to exchange seals and will be looking into specific exchange rates and rules. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on any developments.

Yeah, they most certainly didn't say they were attempting to avoid it.

(You also seem to think the "old way" still exists which is laughable and a poor deflection at being called out on being wrong, suck it up and admit or just stop making a fool out of yourself, it's an embarrassment).

Go to Davoi, old area, kill orc dreadnaughts, etc, old mob, check inventory>>KS, old drop=old content exists

old content exists>>don't do it=laziness exists

before I admit being "wrong" I insist that I be wrong... I'm not.

Like I said in one of my earlier threads. Accessibility for some people means they should build Escalators and Elevators instead of Stairs in every place imaginable, when we all know Exercise is important to a long life.

Abolishing old content = No Exercise = Short FFXI Lifespan.

How to really solve the problem.

Don't do seal exchange.
Raise the cap to enter Abyssea to Lv70 or 75.
Lower the drop rate of seals to 1 per minute.
Improve the drop rates for all Kings HQ items.


Problem solved, doesn't gimp old content completely and seals will be easier to get.

Agree on this for the thread; BS/KS drops off from mobs which give xp and are Lv70 or below.

Ok, sure. I will go earn my kindred seals the old way.

Wait, the old way was exping? And exp mobs don't drop kindred seals anymore? Then how the hell am i supposed to do it the "old way"?
