Change coil drops to tokens ASAP.

[NefGP]

Ignore the trolling massochists who have no lives.

The RNG is necessary to a degree, but any dev worth their salt should do their best to minimize its impact on the players. Getting dicked by the game isn't fun for anyone, and more often than not drives people to quit rather than keep trying over & over to get what they want, as is preached by the white knighters.

Week 1 of Coil I got the shield for my Paladin, and I was tanking as Warrior. The BLM got a ring. Then on turn 2 the BLM got chest and something else.
This week I got the tank pants on turn 2, and our healer got gear on Turn 1 and 2. And our DRG got 2 pieces of gear as well.

You are just unlucky.

But nonetheless, I agree with you that it should be a token system ASAP. Take all the gear BCB drops, put it in a vendor and drop tokens of bahamut or something from BCB. Should be something like 5 tokens per piece of gear and 1 token per turn (imo turn 3 should drop a token when you get to the teleporter at the end). For most people this would be one piece of gear every other week. Also because you can plan what to get you'd know what to spend your myth on instead of holding it till something drops you can gear around.

Why is it, that blizzard with his diablo "Gems" is that good, while SE seems to not learn their lessons?

1) You can merge lesser gems to higher... to get the highest, you may need 1024+ of the lowest -> very high grinding but without excluding causals
2) You can change gems you do not need into gems you actually need of same quality -> sometimes you need to pay with currency or other items, so it does not get overused

Thats how RNG works fine and no one complains!

However, forced to take what you get on top of a crappy RNG was a big Problem pre 1.19, even SE changed their minds and added Skirmish and tokens post 1.19 ... Dont ask why they have not learned their lessons, even on ARR:BETA this was a big issue once again...

Sometimes I think there is a translation problem, because the way they have added tokens in ARR, it seems they do not understand what players are asking for... The main issue here is progression and the main Problem is stagnation.

2 chest drop.why not make one drop mage / tank stuff and other drop dps.

There is already a token system for level 90 gears for you instant-gratification guys already. Leave coil alone.

Tokens = Mythology.

Its already in-game, its just not what you want.

Yes I am thrilled my teammates are gearing their alt classes. Read the post before spewing stupidity all over the forums. Thanks. If any of the gear from turn 1-4 dropped ANYTHING for any 8 of my coil groups main raiding class, I would not have made this thread.

Your post listed 11 drops in 6 weeks. Also your dragoon's alt is now his new main (monk).
forgive me if I don't understand your demand to have every i90 drop on the time table you want it to.

If you want me to list it all, I probably could. Our BLM got around 5 pieces in one week, then we gave more BLM gear to an alt the next week. Our Bard got about 4 pieces, then we gave Bard gear to an alt. Then we continuously give those gears to alts now, and are gearing a dragoon who is now a monk, with dragoon and monk gear. So 3 out of 8 people in our raid have gotten legit gear drops, while the other 5 are passing / greeding on trash off-spec stuff that is completely a waste to everything that a raiding guild is about. The gear should not be randomized as much as it is. It should be up to the raid leader how to distribute the gear.

When we nearly fully geared our BLM in one coil run, we were ecstatic. It was awesome! But now we are still getting BLM gear every week, and it is retarded and slowing our progression on Twintania.

How is farming tomes for 2-3 weeks per item and around five months for all af2 items instant gratification? Reliable progression =/= instant gratification
