Coffin Lid and wind up Echidna too rare?

[Cidel]

Saw the minion drop today....rolled a 37 ...person who got it was the tank who caused us to wipe multiple times and overall could not play his class, not including name out of respect for players all the same...but thanks RNG.

I've been noticing a secret algorithm for rare drops like minions and mounts over time.

The worse a player performs/behaves, the more likely they are to get the drop everyone wants at the end to add insult to injury.

It would seem that karma is backwards with RNG drops.

On topic though, it's like I said earlier, people wanted "rare vanity things that not everyone can have" (don't make me dig up pony drop rate increase outrage threads) and this is almost the dev's sarcastic response.

I've seen one Echidna on Lamia but I've never seen it drop.

Lets talk about that zidane card? I bought 200 packs today and nothing.... I have spent 700K mgp, still nothing. The word rare takes a new definition in FFXIV

Don't remind me. Please. 700k MGP and nothing except a single WoL card.

Both minion and coffin dropped today in the same instance, I rolled 3 for coffin and 50 for minion, did not get either.

But I did get the bard belt which I have never seen drop before either.

Slime and other pets were 100% in one dungeon chest - look at statistics, because it was 100% it doesnt mean everyone have it.
Only if you sell pets you are aiming to make them rare, that have nothing to do with game fun and is only seen in online games where other gamers try to make profit from the poor...

Continue to look at statistics, the game back then when we had many more 100% drops - we had many more players too! -> Did they unsub because of frustration? Maybe!

Not the point. Sure it's fine to have some things that are 100%, just as it is to have things that are 50% or 5% or 1%. It's the idea that something should have its % changed because not a lot of people are doing it that's so ridiculous.

I have been doing Void Ark once every week since its release and saw the coffin lid once and i won it :-)
Sold for 10 mil on the market board. Could have asked more probably because it was the only one.

Done VA loads, never seen a 4th chest, not once

got my ninja to 60 and a friend was trying to upgrade his BLM with the VA belt, He still hasn't seen it drop, I've seen it drop countless times when he's not there

took 17? runs for my ninja body to appear. (If I was healing) it would drop more -_-

oh and same 2 items from the same chest >< please.... we would get to sawtooth and the little message would pop in the chat window 'unable to obtain VA blah blah blah'

Bring in a token system PLEASE!!!

something akin to the savage Alex token system, keep the lockdown on 1 item per week but with tokens it would actually give people the chance of gearing up alternative classes without wanting to smash their heads against a wall because someone in the same class with BETTER GEAR took it.

I looked on the MB history at the coffin lids last night on Phoenix, on the 29th of December, 1 lid sold for 1M gil >< I cried


RNG system in this entire game is pathetically bad

I've never seen either item. Though I imagine they'll increase the drop rate once it's been out for a while.
