    You're seeing the drop chance calculation the wrong way.

    You're seen it as that a weapon drops for 8 people but it is based on dropping for 9 Jobs.

    Assuming the Weapon is dropped for 8 people is like assuming that the drop weapon is based on what Job the 8 people are playing.

    It is not how the drop chance works since the drop chance is based on the amount of Jobs are currently in the game. We're not talking about a 1 out of 8 chance for weapons but a 1 out of 9 chance times the amount of people who play the same Job and future drop chance is decreased as new classes and Jobs are introduced.

    By roles currently we have a minimum average of

    Tank - 1 to 18 attempts minumum (2 Tank Jobs currently)

    DD - 1 to 54 attempts minimum (6 DD Jobs currently)

    Healer - 1 to 18 attempts minumum (2 Healers Jobs currently)

    Maximum is unknown since people can still run over 60 times or higher and still not get it.
