12 weeks of Coil T6+T7 without my loot dropping.

You're saying that your inexperience is irrelevant because it happens in other games but the thing is that what happens in other game is irrelevant for this one. We are discussing an issue in this game and trying to find a solution for this game so your inexperience in this game is relevant to the topic at hand.

No, I am saying that I am not inexperienced with the issue at all. That's the point. I've dealt with the issue of RNG loot vs. Token loot extensively. This is a game design issue, and its very relevant to much more than just 2nd Coil in FFXIV. This shouldn't be hard for you to grasp.

My point is that, in my experience with the issue (which is extensive), RNG is a better system than Token loot. I'd rather roll the dice than have everything 100% predictable. I'd rather play a game of chance where I can win big (BiS very early in content cycle) or, yes, possibly lose big too (never see that BiS item). Having all my gear acquisition mapped out, week by week, months ahead of time is boring. Yes this is largely opinion, but in the end the topic is subjective no matter how you look at it.

come back after you've waited for a year for an item

I've done that. Multiple xpacs, actually. But I dont feel entitled to BiS in every slot just because I raid endgame zones every week.
We get as close as we can to full-BiS, then a new xpac comes out and we do it all over again. Thats the nature of MMOs. Random loot drops is still a better system than Tokens, imo.
