Can we have relevant loot drops from Ex Primals?

[Jim_Berry]

I agree with you OP. This game is in dire need of having relevant drops come from primals and such.

Especially for casual players, as we aren't raiding.

This.

Also there needs to be a roulette for the EX primals ASAP, all of them, with good rewards. It's almost impossible to clear some fights with the queue times as they are now and little rewards for people to even think about joining a Clear Party in PF.

Titan EX was one of the best fights of ARR.

Yeah, I'm just gonna slap a big "speak for yourself" sticker on that one.

Certainly, I would be more reasonable with most users here, but I have noticed that guy likes to troll threads.

You heard it here, folks. Disagree with this person -> you're now a troll, sorry

Once you can clear Ravana, Bismarck no longer matters at all, and that feels really wasteful.

Bismarck never mattered period because i180 law weapons were always available from the get-go and are not locked behind any sort of weekly currency, not to mention the fact that you probably weren't even clearing Bismarck in the first place unless you already had at least that caliber of weaponry. I can't clear Ravana; Bismarck still has no purpose to me for anything other than weird looking white glamours.

IMO its i175 stuff should have been i185.

I think 2.1 had the best primal system with nothing to match it since. The weapon system was incredible, and you actually had to fight things to get a weapon instead of the incredibly bad and tedious system of grinding tomes to have something handed to you. Yes some of the weapons were trash stats , like the summoner book, but they were a very free alternative.

>Fight stuff, get tomes, exchange for gear
>Fight specific stuff, complete a weekly quest, get tokens, exchange for gear

Am I the only one that doesn't really see all that much of a difference aside from the fact one is a lot more restrictive than the other?

I still think dropping crafting mats for Primal glamour is an excellent idea. I'd love a Ramuh robe of my own.

Could even get dungeon end bosses involved as well. Siren anyone..

3 boss-type fights =/= dungeon trash mobs

To me there's still ultimately no real difference. You whack the pinata, stuff falls out, you exchange it for prizes. All you're really changing is the type of pinata.

The point is that there was a good balance between risk vs. reward. I don't consider it on par with something you can autobot your way though.

Hopefully they'll put i190 accessories in EX Bismarck. Not that it matters, since 90% of players have i190 prototype or esoteric accessories now. If they put a special mount in, it would make people do it more I guess.
