Primal battles: the loot problem

Here's a thought. Get a FC, run it with them, get your wep. I have Garuda weapons for like 6 classes and I only have 1 50. All because we farm it to gear our members and if no one needs we just greed roll. The weapons are easy to get.

I just completed Ifrit on HM 5 times in row, 4 of the times the SCH weapon dropped and the the other time was a staff(I think the White Mage's), couldnt be positive. At this point I'm simply annoyed...please fix this...

I got mine on the 3rd try, but got rid of it in less than 24 hours for Garuda Bow. Which looks SO SEXY I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW. OHMAHGAWD

This 30-60 or more runs for 1 weapon is pretty bad game design in my opinion.

THIS.
Oh, this.

Meanwhile, I'm at 60+ Ifrit runs and a dozen Garuda. Never seen a lance drop even once.
I'm not able to express of extremely tired and deeply nauseated I am by this.

Best idea IMO. But you can't expect much from dev's who's idea of end game is chain running the same boss fights/instances over and over again.
