I'm not so delusional that I would demand SE to change their game to fit my needs xD Thats my problem and I know how to deal with it - apart from me being well aware of me having this problem before starting the game, so I purchased it and keep paying to pay for it for 4 years, being well aware of it. Its not like I bought something that I cant use now because of it.
And at least in germany I doubt there would be any legal ground for this

the statistic on this site: http://en.ff14angler.com/spot/30301

says it rains 20% of all time in Eastern Thanalan. 15% Showers and 5% Rain, that's indeed quite ofter for a place called "Drybone" ^^
also 20% Fogs or Clouds, wich means only 60% of all time is actual sunny weather.

but yes, because the weather is tied to the sightseeing log and some fish, it's not so simple to change the weather patterns. it would affect some gameplay elements.

Consider this, if you live in the desert you experience monsoon season. They occur around summer time and there can be plenty of rain and thunder storms to be had.

Came into this thread thinking someone was suggesting pointy nipples and shrunken packages during rain/snow where temps are low... Oh forums how you have changed me.

Remember mining Alumen out there for 6 Eorzean days straight (so about 4hrs-ish, not sure on RL-ET time scale) anyway this was back in 2.1 & I saw rain/no sun for about 2 of those 6 so can agree it does "feal" off concidering I live in a badlands/prarie region in reality, if u'r determined enouf u just get a hat & maybe some shampoo can't let all that free water go to waste right?

What I had to lv Miner to suppy Armorer... to try & keep up with my friend uber-lv'n GLD/PLD, swear I got 1 day to lv my GLD outa that grind then it was off to Mythril for lv40 gear -_-! grrr (good thing I cared way less for crafting by 3.0, like so little I just now worried about them gear-wise even thou their all lv60)

the statistic says it only rains 13,4% of the time in Raindania, or 15% because that sounds better^^
so yeah, it's rainier in Camp Drybone than in Raindania ^_____________^

You...you're lying! *covers ears and runs away*

(honestly it's a bit of a surprise to hear that, seems like it's always raining whenever I log on. Must just be hitting that 13,4% window every time. xD)

No, that's true. Coerthas got royally screwed with never ending snowfall.

The problem is not that it suddenly rains more thanks to the calamity but that it should have more plants if it rains that much. I know that there are plants but I somehow feel that in real life if it rains that often, that the landscape would have more plants.
