Stop counting. Seriously. Someone needs to explain why you ppl insist on counting how many runs it takes you to do anything. If you stopped counting, you really wouldn't notice how bad it is. You're basically shooting yourselves in the foot, making it far more painful than it needs to be, all because you have some weird obsession with counting how many runs it takes you to get anything. Just stop, and you will be happy.
But really...why? Counting every single run is nothing short of masochistic. No wonder you're so unhappy.

This is done to provide an accurate drop rate percent over a period of time.

lol, I'm not counting but it really is ridiculous how many times I've beaten Ifrit and got the same f'ing weapon or dark matter. No amount of ignoring the count will relieve me of the frustration of receiving another freaking Ifrit's Cane.

Primals are a bit different then av/cc chest drops. By different of course I mean retarded.

Let's factor in exaggeration, which is Actuality x10.

So, we are supposed to forget about the horrid drop rates, by not counting?
Seems legit to me. -

The problem isn't so much counting, just doing 3 days straight of runs, full day nonstop primal runs, and seeing only lovely Dark Matter. Rather demoralizing.

And I suppose, after all the 1-upping over FFXIV's difficulty concerning AV/CC/Moogle, we're supposed to accept these insane drop rates as 'difficulty'. Hah!

The problem not lies in the drop percentage but lies in the loot system itself

03-31-2012, 05:29 AMLux_RaynaNo, you're supposed to not count so its not as painful. You dont have to count to realize the drop rates are bad. Counting just makes it seem infinitely worse. Its kinda like counting every time someone jabs you with a pencil instead of just zoning out and waiting for it to be over. When it comes to Ifrit/AV/CC thats what you have to do, just zone out and do your runs like a zombie. When you finally do get your weapon, you'll have no idea how many runs it took you, and you wont care...youll just be happy you got it.Quote:

If someone stabs me with a pencil more than once and not on accident there won't be any counting or waiting for it to be over in my response.
I do find this to work well with the homeless, if i ignore them then i don't feel bad for not "'sparing some change man". -

I don't count and I am content <3 You guys should try it. Also. drop rate sucks when doing these things 100x in a row. I find you get more items the more spread out the events. Ifrit x3 a day, every day = more drops then ifrit 100x in a day. Just my personal luck :x

I think they should just publish the drop rate on ifrit/moogle... At least that way people can judge whether it is too low or too high.

They need to drag out your time to try and keep you playing. If you get all that stuff too fast... what else are you going to do? Currently this is their way of prolonging time as is... I just hope this won't be the main strategy for 2.0.
