Then make seven friends before you even engage the boss. Agree on loot distrubution beforehand, run the whole thing 2, or maybe 3 times, everything gets their stuff and is done with it.Quote:

Yes, I'm okay with having to run this more than once. And I prefer the token-system over the random loot drops that we see in Rabanstre, for example. Because I dont have to pray for the gloves to be for my job, I know that with the glove-token I can just get gloves for any job I like them on.
Trust me... with a dungeon-loot-like system you'd see a lot more of Sigma. And that the "one run, get what you want"-approach cant work doesnt has to be explained again.

Lol I've never had this problem before, but this week I need just one spring...
.__. I've capped on mendacity running o7...
Sooooo yeah... Would be nice if they'd make some kind of change to the lotting system.
Like maybe, random chance + if you run it 8 times you get to just pick a piece. -

Seeing that we’re well into a second expansion featuring this system, it seems it’s here to stay.

I think it's fine as is but they do need to increase the number of springs and shafts that appear because having one appear like im like bruh...

Sure making a pre-formed like some said is one solution but it still points out a flaw in the system which some are so hard headed to understand.
Some people can only actually win if they go in with others that had their loot already...
It is pretty much this, every week needing to run every turn several times, one week i had so many runs in for Kefka i just gave up and did not get any loot.Quote:

back in my day NM raids only dropped 2 pieces! and we liked it! /s
i dont have much time outside of my savage progression so i use it to gear my main job that Im too cheap to buy on MB, and the rest for my alt job. Some weeks i get all my intended loot in 1 run and some weeks it takes 5 runs each level. Idc, it gets me mendacity and works towards my tank achievement. -

I don't run NM 8-man Raids, nor the Savage versions, nor Ultimate content, nor EX Primals. I personally don't give a flying f*** about the rewards they offer, and memorizing mechanics isn't my idea of fun.
That said... I find it absolutely insane that some people are defending the wretched drop system for 8-man Raiding. It's not about whether the items are needed or not. It's not about providing an incentive to re-run content. It's not about whether the system is a major pain point for you personally, or not. It's about calling a spade a spade. If you're going to build a token system, do it right: don't make a half-dozen items where one will do. This is the same sort of shitty implementation that SE originally 'designed' for Glamours; remember when there used to be Prism tiers, separated out by craft no less? Good f***ing lord, it was dumb. Exactly as dumb as the current system for NM Raids is. It is indefensible, and should be changed. And this is coming from someone who will likely never run this content, and will certainly never seek the rewards - but I can recognize incompetence when I see it.
