why are minion drops so rare?

[LaurelinKementari]

LoL at people saying "you need to work for it!" with something RNG related. One person will get it on the first go, man, he sure worked hard for it. Another won't see it even after 1000 runs. He should just shut up and work harder for it, the filthy freeloader! Give me a break. RNG is not, never was and never will be hard or difficult. It is dumb luck and nothing else, completely independant of and unrelated to any actual work or effort you put in the game. Nobody is 'special' for having a rare minion, nor is anyone 'impressed' by you having one. It doesn't mean you're skilled at the game at all. It means you just had dumb luck and nothing else.

you don't need good rng to get most of these rare minions, just enough sense to buy them over fighting rng.

And that equals hard work how?

my point exactly, it is hardly hard work. You can make 1-2 mil a day easily, there is no reason to make minions have a higher drop chance. Glad we agree.

We’re planning to increase the rate in which you can obtain some of the rarer minions, so players can also use them to further enjoy Lord of Verminion in Patch 3.1.

could you please make the CT minions guaranteed at least ? Since we can't trade them, it would be nice to at least not fight RNG to see them drop THEN on the dice roll. Not even counting the awful queues to enter the instance.

So the truth comes out. You are against increasing drop rate because you won't be able to sell them for milllions after.

And since it's not hard work, increasing the drop rates won't affect the hard work needed to get the minions either, since neither way to get them equals hard work, increasing the drop rates just makes both roads equally less tedious. Glad we've reached an understanding.

Honestly, if it works the way they usually do it with "easing of content", then they'll make most of the minions we can get now a lot easier to obtain and then have the newer/newest ones still be difficult to get. Depending on how long they wait until they actually make it easier and how long it'll take to obtain those minions, it could be pretty balanced. You'd reap the rewards of having a strong, new minion early and then later on down the line when there's a new hot minion set all the people that didn't work toward that previously good minion can get it easier.

because farming 5m gil is an impossible task? get one gatherer to 60 and you have it in less than 1 week if you gather the usefull stuff (adamantite, porcini, whatever)

There weren't even any Nutkins listed on the MB on my server the last time I looked. If I do see one (rarely) there's only ever one at a time.

Was about to goof on the people that care so much about minions but then I remembered I spent a crazy amount of time collecting cards in FFVIII even tho most of them would go unused
