Future Dungeon drop suggestion: trash mobs with rare gear drops

[akumutensai]

why dont you just run it and kill everything with your own group if it bothers you so much?

but isnt that the problem youre trying to address?

originaly yes, but people straight asked me for a POSITIVE solution to the matter
and this was it, one that rewards people for killing the mobs

getting gear from them is rewarding isnt it?

yea i could see it working i think id go a little higher than .01 though lol. as long as people have options like i said in youre other thread it would work. lol as long as were not forced to kill or train everything that is

lol i put .01% on purpose, but yeah thats a pretty bad drop rate(for those who dont know, thats 1 in 10000 drops)
but id say getting a drop every 100 kills(so lets call it 1%) off trash is a fair tradeoff.

this is of course, with keeping chests with drops(make them different drops of course) and bosses(with their own unique drops) to give a variety of different ways to get various gear within a dungeon

How about a median solution. No gear drops but rare crafting material drops? Still at a low rate. I can't really think of anything comparable in XI other than the Dynamis crafting mat drops that every single LS sold anyhow. Not a new idea but at least it's rewarding in some way.

I agree with the disagreement on the gear drops. I absolutely hated that about Dynamis and in other MMOs with random world drops.
