Increase drop rates please

I was farming garuda extreme to start my collection of ponies after you brought the patch where you increased the drop rate and I only saw one whistle out of 15 tries consecutively. Also adjust drop rate on nexus phase(do a dungeon 1 to 5 times and then get your drop). Plus my main character is bard and I have farmed t10, t11, and t12 and have not seen the aiming earring, aiming bracelet, aiming pants at all, I only have seen tank, ninja, casting gear. I would suggest an idea where when you beat the turn you get to choose 2 pieces of gear out of all characters for the turn and then get to choose a carbon coat/carbontwin/encrypted tomestone. I would love to get the ponies but it is a waste of time to fight over the drop, the chance of it showing up( if it appeared in 1 to 3 tries maybe worth it), or even give it to everybody in the party to make it fair, the real struggle is beating the fight.

so, playing this game is a waste of time? oh, yeah, true. it is supposed to wasting your time. that's what you payed for.

For people with limited time to play, having to farm 6-8 hours is definitely a waste of time when we want to do more as well. I did a Garuda farm for 5 hours and xanthos whistles dropped after 20 fights, and 1 nightmare whistle. Then we have the rolls and losing them and people quitting only for the newcomers to get whistles if they drop while the people who were farming for longer end up empty-handed. It's just not fair. We must have run it over 80 times by then since we were one-shotting.

The grindy-ness in a lot of these quests is incredibly off-putting as well and I'd hope something would be done to ease that on players who can't dedicate more than a few hours a day to it.

I dont think everyone one is meant to have them. They are rare to show that you put the time in.

Please stop...........

Pretty much this.

Why MUST you have it now? Take a brak, go for a jog, come back tomorrow and try again; still no? LEvel another class and try again next week. This game isn't your life.

Not everyone had to put hours in at a time to get the whistle.

Wow... i've got kirin and it took me a long time, Had runs where i did not see a pony drop for over 30 runs. Had runs where i saw them drop 2/3x in a row.

And let me not even start about your other "Fixes" You'll be whining after that about how you have nothing to do in this game.(If they would take your fixes serious)

Yeah and more treasures! There needs to be more! There is nothing for the curious treasure hunters like

hence why its not for everyone and let the drop rates stays the same

The drop rates were already increased. You can farm the extreme primals unsynced and complete Garuda in less than two minutes. The bird whistles were even put on a vendor. The mounts do not need any more increases in drops. As others have said, these are supposed to be rare, and they're not even rare anymore.

Farm a 10 year old raid solo for over 2 years for a pair of shoes for transmog/glamour and tell me drop rates suck. (I actually did this for the Ruby Slippers in WoW)

This was last year's thread.. Move along peeps..

You, i like you. Exactly my thought about primals mounts drop rates. Unfortunately we've already lost that fight with the introduction of tokens exchange last patch...

I think if you go minimum i level synched, the drop goes up 100% and you also get 4 or 5 drops at once instead of two.

So the option is available if you and 7 others can get gud.

Just do what my FC did; TEA time. We dedicated one day a week (I'd have liked to have done more days but time/work/life of other people) where 5-7 of us would go into primal EX and grind out the bosses, by about *maybe* the 26th week we all had our kirins. I found it the best way to do it, but make sure it's 5-7 people you know will be willing to remain in the group until every person has their kirin.

We're now moving onto the 60 primals.

LOL, you think you deserve a super rare item after only 5 dungeon runs. That's cute.

(I have zero whistles. I have never farmed for it. And I think it's ok to keep them rare, even if I would love to have them!)

they are not rare anymore, they are common since droprates have been nerfed like 5 times now.

I don't know why people care about necros. For instance, on jp forums there are posts from 2013 still being used with thousands of replies because they don't make multiple threads for the same thing. I'd much rather an old thread get bumped than there being tons of threads about the same thing.

I dont mind old threads if they are still relevant but the topic here is the drop rates on which he discusses are now increased by a lot and the dungeons are now 100%.

While I agree that the drop rates kind of suck we have to remember that the ponies are the only reason most of those past that point if the game do EX Primals (and the rare mats for furniture).

Most people are probably used to forums where necroposting is against the rules.

That was always a very strange rule.
Usually with places that also have a rule not to remake topics and instead use the search. It's like they don't want activity.

From my experience, if last post was 2 months we were supposed to start new thread.

For one, these drops should've been guaranteed after Heavenward story came to a close. We already have tokens for ravana and bismarck so why not the other modes? Any more of these extra rare drop items would just be begging for player retention, in which is a crap way to keep players interested. Not that it works in there favor. Those who actually want the rare items are not going to use the df when pf can be alot faster with consistent runs, so its no point in leaving these old items this way.
