Dev Response Please - ilv90 Conversion Change

[Shai]

A great way to get developers attention and respect is to insult them and call them names. They definitely listen and respond - often even change the game! - when you phrase your suggestions in the form of an insult. Another good tactic is to threaten to quit the game, you could edit that in.

Just did an expert and used a couple penta melded i90s I had that weren't done. Got 36 and 35% on them. Somewhere in the range of double to triple previous rate. Definitely wasn't a problem there before, and considering the loss of rewards it's definitely not an overall improvement.

So you were getting 12-18% on expert dungeons before with 5 melds? Doesn't make since when I was getting 4% on 2 melds pre-patch.

I was getting 12% on triple melded stuff pretty easily so yeah.

Edit: And syrcus tower my i95 tremor axe penta melded was about 25% on a run before this change. There was absolutely no problem in binding rate.

With potion and FC buff, or bare?

Neither. Just "bare".

Not all of us can triple meld i70 or i90 gear to get the SB buff. Some people are just normal adventurers trying to obtain IV via the simplest method. Leveling a crafter to 50 or paying out the nose for both gear AND melds (which ultimately may not even get you the materia you need...)

This is beyond ridiculous. The estimate for personal housing is 850K. The average cost of DET IV on my server is 550K.

I feel like an idiot for selling all my level IVs materia back when they were going for 80-90K. I thought that was super pricey then. Boy, do I regret it.

Then for some inexplicable reason you were getting SB at 2-3 times the rate of everyone else before the patch.

No, you're just insisting on exaggerating to whiteknight this change. I paid very close attention to % I was getting because I was curious where the best places would be. Done here.

I paid very close attention as well, expert roulette 4-5% per dungeon pre-patch, HQ gear with 2 melds. Multiple sets, all the same. Syrcus Tower was 12% on average. I made some sets for a FC member, who used them to do expert runs for myth for novus, he was at 13% after 3 runs.

Yea I have to agree, a really great way for them to take you seriously.
