LOOT: A Sad Reality

[givemeraptors]

I would prefer a token system where after the last boss was defeated, you receive a certain amount of tokens you can trade in for the equipment you want.

You mean like Mythology and Soldiery tomes?

They must be playing a different game than the rest of us?

You must not really understand the game you are currently playing. Myth and Soldiery is an alternative to loot from Coil. You can still run Coil 1279691734696249786 times and theoretically NEVER get the piece you are looking for.

Myth, Soldiery, Allied Seals, GC Seals, these are all types of currency. Sure, they can be used to purchase gear. But they are not the same thing as a 'Token System'. A token system (used by many other MMOs) is used for raid type content with a lock out. It's used so that a player can eventually get the loot they are going for if RNG continues to fail them.

Again, two different things.

Good try, but believe it or not some sold gear is better than coil gear! So you are still getting BiS from tomes which you get from doing dungeons! Yes they do require sands of time, but those are pretty easy to get now.

Well if that's your argument, why even have a raid that is locked out. We can just hunt all day and run dungeons, buy all of our gear.

Not the same thing. Unless you think myth/soldiery gear = coil gear. In which case you would be wrong again.

hes refferring to the fact that you do always get something, maybe not gear, but something

Sure. It's nice that you get a little myth and soldiery thrown your way for beating a turn of coil. But does that really do anything? No, not really. It's like a player saying, "I've beaten turn 4 500 times and I've only seen the healer chest piece drop twice, and I lost both rolls." I'm sick of running this, I hope I never step foot in turn 4 again!" But hey you got 20 myth and 15 soldiery...again...yay.
