Low probabilities of Triple Triad drops, big fish, etc. Grinds becoming unreal.

Don't read thread. Comment on posts in thread. Make an ass out of yourself. People point it out. Go full damage control in next post. Read post calling you on this. Decide not to go damage control to "fight the man."

What man? There's a man? Who is it? He taught you psychology? Or was it clairvoyance? I think you should get a refund.

If that's all you could come up with as a retort then I'm going to have to apologize for stepping on your easy-out.

Oh woe is me. I have been brutally stepped on. I have perished. You have prevailed. I submit to you, the victor. May this pointless bickering breath its last, as no one wants to read this spam. I hereby humbly make my difficult-out, shamed by a giant footprint.

Cards aren't really that hard to get, or I'm just lucky? First WoD run of the week and I got the Onion Knight, I also have Ifrit and garuda cards.



It's pretty easy to get 11/12* weapons. Just do a tower defense 3 on superhard and at the end you'll already get a full batch of 10/11/12* equips.

Can't really speak for the others, but 40 Garuda runs, 5 Ifrits, 3 orso Ultimas without a card. Fortunately those 3 can always be gained from NPCs. Short answer: yup, you were lucky.

I am sure you are just kidding... cant be serious!
Done only WoD for Zeta weapon and had Zeta before Onion Knight card... you know: 2000 points!

Hit 50 and then everything's a grind, I agree. And once you finally finish the grind, it's more grind to get what you want. I was so excited to hit 3 star crafts but after grind I realized I had to grind even more because to make anything cute I needed rare drops from mats/desynth or grind some more on my gatherer for the mats.

Naaaah. I'm going back to games where you accept a quest and you get a reward for finishing said quest. Now that was fun, not mindlessly repeating content again and again and again to get anything done. Take the grind away and you realize how FFXIV doesn't really have that much going on outside of Hildibrand and the main scenario.

I tend to agree.... there's grind... and there's beating your head against an RNG brick wall. From my point of view, it's just been getting more and more ridiculous with added content, and the real upshot is I find myself playing less and less because of it.

I used to like fishing... but when they are coming up with stupid dice rolls one after the other like triple-mooches and 5 minute time windows (under certain weather conditions) and THEN low RNG on the bite itself.... I'm thinking to myself.... meh, this is supposed to be fun, I shouldn't be needing to come up with the statistical equivalent of winning the lottery every damn day.

ditto crafting... then I saw the new tools and the moonstones (keeping in mind I have all crafters/gathers levelled) - 60 each tool. 80k in GC seals EACH... or you can do a quest to get... wait for it... ONE per day. ONE. What nutter at SE thinks making 700-800 of ANYTHING is fun? This might be turn-ins to GCs for seals - or even making the turn-ins for the artisans tools for MC materia. They think I'm a mindless bot? Now lets say I did all that.... what is my reward? I get to craft stuff - all based on RNG, and it still gets to explode in my face, or give me NQ at 90% quality just because it can.

Have done nothing with TT and the cards. Why? Coincidentally I did my zeta weapon - 500 primals over 3 days - ONE card. That's quite enough to tell me not to waste my time farming for cards.

I could go on - atmas, alexandrites, materia melding, spirit-bonding for materia, weapon/mount/gear farming.... one crapshoot after the other, and not a single way to make the time/effort you put into it count.

[DemonFury]

I swear, you people think this games grind is hard? Try PSO2 farming for 11/12* weapons and units, RO's atrocious drop rates... even the relic quest now isnt as bad as XI's.

"- Unable to catch Shonisaurus or Kuno the Killer (out of 4-5 30-45 min windows)."

I fkin lol'd.

nothing like some of teh original mmos like say RO which did not drop money in any way shape or form you had to gather items sell them or npc them to get your money and save it all i ever see in new mmos is how people think that this stuff shoudl just be handed to them without any real work ...

you don't get to come into the game 4 years after everyone else who was in it from the beginning and talk about how hard the grind is. if you don't have the patience for grinding then by all means stop playing and go back to your mindless games that do not require a brain.
