    D) Lock, 100% drop: Hurts the hardcore.

    B and C are definitely out, obviously. A Hurts a majority of players, where D hurts a minority.

    You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time.

    D hurts casuals, too.

    I am casual, when I play I want to play the content I want because my time is so limited.

    Lol, that's already the system in place!
    I'm pretty sure he meant "100% drop" as in there's a sure chance to get loot at all, not to get loot specifically for you. This is opposed to systems with "low drop" where you can kill the boss and you might not even get anything at all. Thus, CoB is already under D.

    Sidenote: I haven't seen MNK drops in forever! I feel your pain.

    Yeah that sounds about right. I think I got my 1st piece after 6 weeks.

    So because I can do something like run coil more than once a week I'm hardcore? What if I can play for one week and I can't for 4 then I'm even further behind than "Casuals" who can play once a week.
