The semi-permadeath in DRS is what is preventing me from even trying it, same with the Eureka raid. I know I will make mistakes and get myself killed, it’s going to happen. Because of that, I don’t want to do it because everybody will get mad at me for dying all the time. I don’t like that mechanic one bit.

As a result of all this, you'll either have to spend an insane amount of time farming Clusters and Fragments or drop a ton of gil on the marketboard. DRS is both grindy AND expensive to do, and all of this just for a Mount and gear set that lacks any other purpose but flexing since everything in Zadnor is easily clearable without even Bozja gear. -

I'd love a way to down covert to the original coins because 450/999 coins for a single piece of gear is insane. Especially when an CL drops maybe 20-50
