RNG, Why it exist, why it sucks, and how we can fix it.

It'll give the devs the same problems that Titan HM would; people will sell runs and end game gear will mean nothing. It invalidates any difficult or hard content when everyone has full coil gear within a week.

If your token issue was the case, I could fully outfit around 2-3 classes a day with my static. That would be terrible for the game.

That's my opinion.

When a chest is opened, loot roll dialogue comes up. Whomever wins the item, gets the item. When the item is handed out, the other 7 people get a token. For every 8 tokens, you can buy one Allagan item of your choice (Hail Adventurer! Previous groups have come through and provided us unwanted items their group found. We would be happy to trade them to you for the coveted Allagan Tokens of Whateverthefuckyouwantocallit.). This means that if you are clearing all of Coil each week, and get no loot from a chest, you will get one item per week. If you are doing less, it'll take longer, but you'll still get something.

I'd say more like 1 token per level of coil would be more fair. Going from 0 guaranteed loot per week to 1 guaranteed every other week sounds more fair.

I'd say more like 1 token per level of coil would be more fair. Going from 0 guaranteed loot per week to 1 guaranteed every other week sounds more fair.

Making it 1 per chest is easier to implement, since it is tied to the chest. If they'd rather only one guaranteed per week, or per two weeks, or per week and a half, they just change the cost of items.

So, you'd get 8 tokens for a full clear. If items cost 8, that's one guaranteed per week. If it's 12, that's every week and a half. At 16, two full weeks.

However, remember, that generally the only people doing a Full Clear already have most/all of the items they need. Best they'd be doing is gearing alts, but that doesn't prolong content, since they've already completed it. So, a more realistic expectation I think would be that the average player would earn 4-6 a week, more likely 5 on average, meaning that at 8 tokens per piece they'd still need almost a full two weeks to get a guaranteed item.

But, speaking of alts, this would be a great way to help people gear up alts, or even be more willing to bring an alt class to fill the gap in a group, since they know they'd still be earning something towards their primary.
