[dev1007] Voidwatch: Obtaining Spoils

[Karbuncle]

I'm about 0/50 on Anything but a Supernal Knife and Gerra's Staff on Botulus >_>. I think I'm going to be a happier person when my account finally expires. This month, When i realized there was just a little fuel left in the tank, I was a little happy, Then I racked up an additional ~60 Voidwatch Kills and still dont have a Single Item i want.

Now, its like pulling teeth, The only reason i bother doing voidwatch anymore is on the off chance maybe, Just maybe, I'll get an Item i want before my account deactivates. Frankly, It won't matter. If this kind of drop system and drop rate continues to be the norm, Even if i get a body, I'm letting my account expire.

Getting really tired of SE ignoring the playerbase, nearly 10 years of them ignoring us on the most severe problems, Its getting old. Back then, I still found enjoyment in the game because of friends, Today, I can't enjoy the game when every NM has Drop rates on par with Pre-Update Salvage, often considered some of the worst Teeth-Pulling drop rates introduced in FFXI.

Its just gotten to the point they've put stalling for time before player enjoyment, I can't even congratulate people who get their VW bodies these days because I'm so bitter than I should have at least 4 by now, and am still sitting at 0. I probably won't even be happy when i get mine, because I'm so bitter from it taking so long, It'll be more of a "About fucking time" instead of a "Yay" moment, and many people feel the same as me.

Square needs to open their eyes and realize they're driving people away, If the game continues on this path, it'll be near empty within a year. People can only take so much punishment before they say f**k off.

They will then have succeeded in their mission. FFXI servers will be shut down and the entire team can focus on keeping XIV from sinking the entire company.


Sad as it is I see no other explanation especially since the JP/EU forums are also upset about the same issues. Vanafest is 2 days because they will be announcing the end of XI and day 1 will be 10 year annivesary, day 2 will be the funeral. I challenge SE to publicly state otherwise. On a slightly unrelated note, when they do announce the termination of XI I vote they up all drop rates to 100% for the last 2-6 months or w/e warning time they give. That way people can at least leave knowing they had those items with maybe a few nice screen shots. (Remember SE happy players are far more likely to consider forgiving XI and possibly buying future products ever again, however for most people that's a big MAYBE.)
