Nerf old primal weapons recipe please.

[Pinkie_Pie]

wrong. you cant udersize because the rare items dont DROP from undersized.

This person is a troll, acting like a self entitled person that thinks this game is for their own well being, just ignore them.

[Elisewin]

No thanks, old style kills without undersize.

You're assuming people want it only because it's rare and not simply for glamour. All you have to do is spend like a measly 5 minutes in Costa de Sol to get the new swimwear. That's not rare and all and yet everywhere you look, people have it on. Those people don't care about rarity. That content is entirely optional. They just wanted it because of how it looks.

I'm not sure about all the primal drops, but the Vortex Feather for example is like 1-2mil. For most players, that's stupid cheap. If people really wanted to, every single person could be running around with that weapon because the rest of mats are dirt cheap as well. But, again, most people don't because most people do not care. Even when they buffed the pony drop rate (which meant more people were running the content and getting drops), the weapons were still rarely seen.

I paid 10 million gil for a kingly whisker a few weeks ago. Seriously, just pay the gil if you want them, you guys only want this shit when it's no longer as accessible as it was when people were giving away inferno horns like candy.

OMG i got Kingly Whiskers from my retainer, are that rare?

And people paid millions upon millions for their relics, and now, or after the release of the expansion that materia was close to worthless. Along with the time spent on grinding out the weapon itself, even more so for PvPers who spent countless hours getting to rank 45, now anyone can obtain that set of armour with very little effort in comparison. Everything in this game is nerfed, if something wasn't to be nerfed, it sure as hell shouldn't be the primal weapons, but the PvP gear or relic. Why not all of it? It was suggested a lot of times, but again, people complained that it wasn't FFXI and so a huge amount of forum posters stood by their opinion that it should be nerfed because it's nothing but a glamour piece.

If people are really after a status symbol, I'd suggest going after Kirin or the ADS mount, they're quite rare even now.

I never complained about relics, since it was a natural process so new players could catch up if they ever wanted one. About ponies, the drop rate was abysmally low, and the only way to obtain them was through spamming ex primals like a complete madman. The PVP is a complete different story, it's only natural they only lock the latest tier weapons, to help people that start there fresh, it all has to do with a catch up process.
But a ******* primal weapon? I remember seeing hundreds of players running with these weapons back in the past, people did not care about them, because they were abundant. Now that there's a lack of them because people do not spam primals anymore (not at level 50 at least) now everybody wants these weapons. Basically, people will always want what's not accessible to them, this is so ****** stupid and childish. I'd say like half of the value of getting something is the effort you've put into getting that something, you take that away and you know what's the result? Everybody running around happy with their primal weapons on the first week and bragging about them on idylshire only to realize they are not so rare anymore -> which leads to everybody going back to other weapons because the uniqueness of primal weapons has been trashed and people even start discarding them.

I don't know what your server's economy is like, but primal weapons have retained their value here, 1 million before, and 1 million now. I haven't checked all that recently though. Mog weapons are still insanely valuable due to the lack of people running that content. But back on point, I find it funny that you say one thing is due to catch up, but this isn't. What is there to catch up to? Relics are now useless, and PvP gear was always useless, or at least in frontlines. Why did they nerf them? For glamour purposes, the same reason are asking for these to be nerfed.

I'm a diehard glamour fan, and I can tell you it's not about the rarity, not even in the slightest. It's about how they look, and how well they fit with the gear (I admit my Hive weapons don't go with anything I have, but they look cool so oh well). I still glamour my Zeta even though I see it everywhere. I still glamour my Arachne set, Ironworks set, previous primal weapons, etc. because they look amazing. Not due to their rarity of which there is none now. No one's asking for them to obtainable in 5 minutes, but it's not unreasonable to ask for their drop rate to be increased and/or added to the chest for unsynced play.
