Change coil drops to tokens ASAP.

[Felis]

So long it is like it was with the primal fights in 1.0
We got random weapon and tokens (so we could buy the weapon if it isn't dropped after the 50th run)
Maybe make the token droprate for coil the same as it was in the old Ifrit fights?

[Tupsi]

They messed up coils loot system RNG algorithm HORRIBLY somehow, literally every single group gets nothing but DPS drops and not a single group gets a lot of healer or tank drops. This includes my own, who gets nothing but DPS drops, mainly DRG and MNK.

No they didn't - RNG will always be RNG, there's no variations on random. Fyi, every run my FC done so far has always been a mix of Mage and DD gear, so...stop it already.

This will get fixed when more content gets put in the game.

So six months? I don't think they have that much time.

You can't stop crazy.

[Lumidus]

You're not seeing the big picture friend.

Let's say you get the tokens for the gear you want before content is out. You get all the gear and then what? Are you gonna keep playing since there's nothing to do? You will leave like you are threaten to do now (take a break)

The way it is now. It keeps people grinding out coil for the chance to get the item they want. Once they do.. against all the odds /joy!

So either way. You can leave now because you are angry. or leave in 2-3 weeks once you complete your gear set and content will be out in 6 months apparently.

[Tiggy]

I swears. It's as if people here never played a MMO before. In one moment they want the gear they need to drop more easily, and in the next they complain there isn't enough to do. If this is such a issue for you then go play something else. I'm sure I'm not the only person sick and tired of the whiny complaints for easy handouts. No MMO launch has ever given away the best gear in the game easily or for free. Suck it up and learn what MMO's are like.

Also, my solution to this if it wasn't obvious enough from the title is this: Take a page from WoW just like you have in everything else. Make each boss drop tokens. (Token of DRG/MNK/BRD, Token of WHM/SCH/, Token of WAR/PLD, Token of BLM/SMN)

This lowers drastically the chance of constantly getting the same trash every week that people end up greeding for alt classes.

Each chest contains 9 unique items in its loot tables giving you an ~11% chance to get an item you want. How is switching to tokens increase the percentage of getting a drop you want?
I guess you forgot those runs in WoW when you would get the same token many weeks in a row? Turn one contains a body, a ring, legs, lots of good stuff but I dont want any of that I want a body only token too that should really increase my chances to get loot .....

[Divinemight]

My raid has been consistently clearing coil turns 1-4 for an entire month now, and I've been in coil for at least 6 weeks.

In 6 weeks I've only seen the PLD chest piece drop twice and that is IT for tanking gear. Our healers have gotten THREE (3!) pieces of gear combined in the 4 weeks we've been raiding.

We had our dragoon respec to Monk because FIVE monk pieces dropped in THREE weeks and ZERO pieces of dragoon gear dropped. This week the dragoon chest piece drops.

This garbage looting system needs fixed asap. I'm entirely considering retiring from coil right now altogether because of it.

Random is random. WoW is using token but there are daily posts trashing that loot system. Stop complaining. If you are mean to have it, you will have it, just matter of time.

[Volcano]

At least this gives drops, try FFXI old system of getting a chance at a drop only once a day and most likely get nothing to drop, period. and then repeat that for a few months.
Here RNG is the only thing you have to worry about, but drops are pretty much 100%, Got to deal with random. if you could just "pick" your drops, coil would be burned out pretty fast.
