Primal drop system, still no changes?!

Hundreds of people pointed out that Primal drop system is broken, disheartening and annoying. And with 1.21 patch nothing has changed... Today I made 3 runs of Moogle with a new friend who never cleared it, he dropped 2 weapons! I'm still stucked a 1 only weapon after 60+ runs... I'm losing hopes about Primal fights, and don't feel excited at all about Garuda's fight incoming. These things ruin the game experience of players. Please check it! :(

P.S.
People prefer to complain about Anima...

What's wrong with it?

i just want AF Weapons

Dev posted this back in January ... I'm a bit surprised too that they have failed to act on these plans. That was posted even before patch 1.20b I think, so they had 3 opportunities to put it in, and still haven't.

As if DEVs weren't aware of this issue, including Yoshida himself. Stop taking them for idiots :/ They played other MMORPGs, they know how it works and that the current system is crap.

Why does it remain in place then? Check the current state of XIV, with little to no content at all... The only reason people are still doing Ifrit or Mog today is because (or thanks to) the bad drop system...

If we were to have a proper system which would in the end, raise the chance for players to obtain the weapon of their choice, then no one would even bother to do that content again (me the first). That's also why we never received a proper "dev answer" regarding this "issue" (more like game design decision), because DEVs can't say "Hey guys look, our game is so empty that we are forced to find stupid methods to virtually increase its lifetime..."

Modifying drop rate of existing content can be done without the need of a full maintenance... Yet nothing is done, because DEVs wants you to play the game this way.

Hmm, I don't think this is a good argument. I can understand your point if you refer to 1.19, when you could do only Ifrit and Ifrit again. (And I want to rember you that even with Dzemael, that was the only content before patch, drop system was right)
Now, after people have fought 120+ runs of Ifrit to get all the weapons you really think that someone would begin again to fight Moogle 100+ times?!

They announced that some changes would be introduced... I'm still waiting.

I know how it feels ... 2/150 on Ifrit here, and they are the BLM and WHM weapons, which are pretty much useless.

And since Ifrit weapons are clearly the best DPS DoW weapons, it is quite annoying to know you'll always be a few DPS behind other serious players.

I agree still no ifrit claws after 120 wins :) 5 THM weps and 1 bow and a cane and 3 totems
