More Horizontal Progression please

Because you aren't getting western players to run the same bosses for 7 years.

Last I checked I was a western player.
Also, aren't these western players you are talking about running the same 2 dungeons for months now?

And FFXIclopedia indicates that the Leaping (now Bounding) Boots are a <7% drop rate.

People lament the pain of RNG in instances that guarantee 2 or 4 drops every time they're killed. What do you think their reaction to drop rates like that would be?

Do you know why drop % worked years ago? Because they werent RNG dependant, they were random drops. Random back then actually followed a set average, so you would approach the average (and actual drop chance) if you killed said mob often enough.

What we have these days is a horrid system because average no longer applies to it. You could kill a mob a thousand times and never approach the average on its common drops. That is why people complain about RNG.
