Alexander loot systems sucks :/

[Arkista]

Well at least Yoshida got Savage Loot right. Not to sure about the way the Gordian Manifesto works. If you get a piece of gear, you shouldn't get a Gordian Manifesto. I'm guessing even if you get gear, you get a token.

Even then savage loot is the way normal alexander should have worked. They could still make adjustments.

Except you can't farm it Alex Savage will have what many of us already asked for. We just wanted to feel rewarded if we're unlucky. In my static, on 2nd coil we had our monk who never dropped gloves from T8 (when he needed accuracy) until lockout was removed. On FCoB, I never saw healing pants from T11, healing choker from T12 and ring only dropped once. Feels really bad being excluded simply by RNG, no matter how well you're capable of completing a suposedly challenge, for months. So yes, savage loot system is the best we could get. We won't have full set in one month, but we at least know we're getting rewarded, slowly.

I have no problem with that.
at least I won't be frustrated from not getting anything for two months because my gear just refuses to drop.
this is probably the best solution they've come up with so far

pretty much the same as coil with an extra.
those lucky enough with loot will always gear faster. token or no token.

The Alex loot system is great. I love it. I don't really understand people's complaints, although most of the people complaining don't really seem to have free company members who will gladly do turns they already have loot from like I do. I have 2 different characters and yesterday I only had 1 piece left to get out of 8 total.

Did you really do Coil? I doubt so, because then you should know it is RNG to have YOUR class drop, arguing with RNG to defend lockout is a bad idea! You are true if you argue with the (new) tokens but that we havnt had in Coil and so i can not follow you...

I did molten core back in 2005 with 2 drops per boss an 40 people to gear plus class specific gear for classes my faction couldn't even use and still support it.

Shut up about Coil, it wasn't that bad.

hmm it's probably just me but I'm already fed up with Alex cause I ran it so many times last week that I just cannot see it this week anymore... Don't mind that I'm falling behind, this is just getting boring and too much of a chore (as in repetitive).

I must be favored by RNGesus since in the second week of Alex release I got tokens on all 4 floors in one day, within 3 runs of each floor.

Everyone wants to just be handed things. The loot system is thousands of times more convenient than the random drop system, yet people still want something simpler. If the game was "run it once, get your gear, and you're done" then we'd never have people running the raid multiple times. It's a shame only the vocal people are the ones who wish to complain while the rest of us are content and quiet with the system as it is, in fact probably find it too easy. I get bored 2-3 days after the reset because I've received all my weekly drops from duty finder of all things.

snip.

Keep thinking that..... You're still dealing with random drops, you just have a lot less items in the pool.

But you know what, don't worry about, Savage has pretty much what we asked for.

I feel ya. I don't even care about it. FFXIV is basically a job, unless Rngesus is on your side.

alex normal token drop is random though. how is that better than the other random drop system?
I say it's worse, because instead of needing to win only once you need to win more than once depending on the type of token.

alex savage loot system on the other hand, is just perfect.
which is what we've been asking for.

Several A4 runs today. 5-6 cranks dropped (what I needed). I lost every roll and our last run where I was guaranteed the drop, no crank dropped.

I agree I hate the loot system. I've never had good luck with RNG.
