Alexander loot systems sucks :/

I stopped running the floors more than once already.

I also stopped healing floor 4. I'll do shitty SMN dps before subjecting myself to that stress.

To the "just do PF" crowd... Most of us have tried that. Someone always leaves after getting their loot and you have to replace them with folks that will often do it too.

How is healing A4 stressful? I am on my SCH and our static whm usually goes astro for it just for the fun. If your healers are good and your tanks, you basically can skip every single mechanic and just brute force it. cept adds ofc.

Everyone is going to cry and moan about something. I will admit the drop system from the coils was pretty frustrating. I ran t10 15 times before i saw my earrings drop once. At least I can pick and choose what I wanna go for. If you take 10 seconds to think ahead, you can even develop a plan to get all the gear you need in a good an optimal amount of time! Amazing!

The only difference here is how stupidly boring these runs are. I know savage is coming up and will revamp things but my god, I was tired of every floor after 2 runs. It took a while to get that way with the coils. Perhaps it's because it's so race roll easy, maybe it's because I don't think the setting is as awesome as BCoB. That's a whole separate thread though. Just be thankful getting loot drops you need can be made 10x easier with a static or FC farm group that has an hour to spend on each floor.
/queue people crying about not having an hour in their busy retail/restaurant schedules etc.

For me its down to the story, I was routing to progress in coil to see the story unfold, and getting the next cutscene was the cake, loot was secondary on the first kill, not an incentiive.

Alex stoory is, in comparison, lackluster. Goblins? Too hard to take them serious, IMO Goblin story would have been better as a Hildibrand questline. Alex story should be on par with Coil.
