    SE could literally hand out free gear and people would complain about it. There's literally nothing majorly wrong with this loot system.

    Also, what on earth is the logic in saying everyone will go for the same piece of gear? Not everyone wants the chest piece first..

    Someone gets it.

    How is it different if SE decided to use universal token instead? You'd still be lotting against 7 other people albeit the RNG part of the current version is removed.

    SE says that they received feedback that people are fighting for loots and thus they are looking into reviewing it. Universal tokes doesn't remove the fighting.

    Unless you want to do it like the EX primal trio thingly, complete all 4 turns to get a weekly token or whatever style, IDK.

    Nonetheless this is SE. If there are enough whines from the casuals then they will probably do something if it is reasonably within their means. And Alex Normal is casual.

    It doesn't change the part where people fighting for loot, but it doesn provide more loot and you don't have to fight both RNG and people for loot at the same time.

    a universal token would be so much better. Right now each floor drops 2 from 3 types of token randomly.
    So instead of not seeing your wanted gear when farming coil, you'll get to not see your wanted token when farming alex.
    for example, you need a shaft? you farm all day and all you see is the other two tokens.
    after a day of farming you finally get it. Well guess what, you still need to farm it for the other 3 shafts.

    A universal token will remove that randomness.
    Even making it so each floor drops every type of token they have removes that randomness.

    this is what we have now:
    1 Waist, Feet, Accessories
    2 Head, Feet, Accessories
    3 Head, Hands, Legs
    4 Body, Hands, Legs

    if they make it like this:
    1 waist, acc
    2 feet, acc
    3 head, legs
    4 body, hands

    and they make each floor drop those specific tokens, they can simply adjust the number of tokens needed for each gear.

    The idea of token is better than before, I don't think there is anyone disagree. But thing is how they executed it and how they add so many unnecessary RNG to a system which suppose to reduce RNG. Yeah not everybody will go for the chest piece, and people already need to farm 30+ times total to get it. Just imagine what if everyone actually want it? The quality of the loot has nothing to do with the loot system.

    There are half dozen way for Square to improve the system and that's why people are voicing their opinion here.
    -reduce the type of token
    -make certain token drop in more than 1 specific turns
    -award certain token after X amount of certain turns clear (like a weekly quest)
    and more

    Of course that's fine, and people can have an opinion, but you can't go jumping on everyone who supports the current system and try telling people it's really bad, because it's not. Some people prefer this system, simple as that.

    I'm not saying it can't be improved, but I'm saying people need to calm down with the 'omg it's terrible I'm never going to get any loot I'm too busy for a static this RNG sucks' blah blah because the other system in terms of those things was worse.
