Ifrit Weapon Drop Rates Make Children Weep

This has been discussed many times and is OLD news, but it's relevant to my current frustrations so I'm posting about it.

10 totems = 1 weapon of choice. Totems never(hyperbole) drop.

Weapons never(hyperbole) drop.

Killing Ifrit is bitter sweet.

Least I got a ton of dark matter :D:D:D:D:D:D

People can say that talking about it is childish or w/e else they want to but it really is an issue and last I checked bringing issues to the table isn't childish. Having your head shoved up your ass doesn't help. Just because you've already done [content] 500+ times and got everything from it doesn't make it not a problem, it just means you've already spent the time. Why are so many people so focused on themselves that they don't want to see better things for the ones that come behind them? Or am I mistaken in thinking that the point of "community" discussions is to make things better for the community? Should the goal here be more of a "keep things shitty cause it was for me and no one should get better stuff than I did" type thing, or is it already?

Well as long as you have stuff like people going 0/250 on the goddamn bow, these threads will keep popping up.

(Also, I freaking love that lala emote. For the raised eyebrow alone I am totally leveling a lala once 2.0 comes out.)

Yes that is all good and fun, but I suppose the rational argument against a drop rate this low is that it is clearly this low just to waste our time and draw out content because (guess what?) there's barely any!

Yes this thread again, and again, and again until they fix it. SE has to know the community still disagrees with this mechanic. It was fine when Ifrit first came out, it and Dz were all we had to do, so sure stretch out the content by making drop rates crappy. But now that we have more stuff to do, fix it!

Both the totem and weapons are random drops, bottom line, it all rests on luck. There are quite a few of us out there with crappy luck who will never get what those who have good luck get even though we put in way more time and effort. So... sorry white knights and lucky bastards but yes, this thread again...

dont worry i agree the drop rate blows i wish they ,made it you could trade weapons for weapons i have a staff and a bow i never use rather trade them for Lance and Claws.

And could have sworn there was a person on masamune whose 300+ fight 0 weapons and 2 totems?

I kind of recall 2 raids, 3 hamlets and 3 primals that people are still actively doing.
