Maybe I didn't convey that as clearly as I should have in the above post, but I am now. I don't mind Hunts or NM's even ZNM's, but a claiming system and abysmal drop rate of 1% or lower on an item that you keep for years and years on end, does not appeal to me any more nor do I think it would work here if tried and implemented.

I'm not in denial at all, again maybe you should re-read what I said in both my comments here. I'm all for them pulling ideas from other games even their own, what I don't want to see is a direct copy/paste of said idea and tried to just be shoved into our already established FFXIV system. I personally don't think it would work and yes some people actually want and ask for such things, which personally makes no sense to me at all.
