Alexander loot systems sucks :/

You misunderstand me. I actually don't know why you replied to my post and how rushing anything has anything to do with my post. Perhaps you read something that I never intended. Or perhaps you melded my post together into the other complaints in the thread and assume I'm also complaining about not getting gear quickly. In that case, you indeed misunderstand me.

In any case, the biggest complaint about AlexN is the multiple layers of RNG, and that kind of setup gets complained about in every game. Unless the drops are static (i.e. A1N always drops Chain*1+Bolt*1, A2N always drops Lens*1+Bolt*1 etc.), a token system like AlexN isn't much better than a direct-drop system (Coils). AlexN is just one notch easier because you can pick and choose what you roll for.

yes i just mix up posting
Sorry... i am in a bit of enrage mode, gonna go cooldown - its hot outside too, not helping, taking a cold shower now

The problem is SE promising on events and interviews just to release the same old shit a little bit tweaked (we dont know how many tokens you will need...)

After Tanaka in 1.0, Yoshi-P modified primals and released a good system with garuda, why they changed back to tanaka system with 2.0 and ongoing they have never said.

There was no primal fights during Tanakas time. Or do you mean the Leve NMs with their tokens?

Ifrit & Garuda were in 1.x

they also dropped weapons & tokens to trade for weapons, pretty much the same as bis & rav today.

SE switched Tanaka with Yoshide during november 2010. Ifrit, the first primal fight, came out 1 year after. Time enough for Yoshida to change what was already finished. Nobody outside of the dev team know how Tanakas plan for the primal fights was. We players only saw Yoshidas primal fights.

This exactly. I don't mind fighting for rolls against 7 other people but what gets me is sometimes you don't get to roll at all because the token that you want won't even drop.
