If no one else ever gets it, I have that reward. if everyone else gets it, I have that reward.

Shy of them literally taking it from me, which I would indeed rage over, they have in no way, shape or form affected me by allowing other players to attain said reward with a different level of effort.
The coffin lid is a perfect example, I paid 15 mil for one back in January, if I had known to wait two months so I could buy one for 50k I would have. How am I supposed to feel when a game devalues my coffin lid by 14,950,000 gil?

I might have my coffin, but I am not getting my 15 mil back. That time was wasted. Literally wasted. Should the coffin lid drop rate been buffed? Yes. Should it drop every single run in VA? NO NO NO NO NO. It's really not my problem anymore bub, this game has these issues and it will continue to bleed subs because nothing feels worthwhile. You guys can beat your chest like this is some childish position for us to hold, but you are only hurting your game.

People like rarity, people like to feel accomplished, and people like to stand out. These are pretty easy trends to see in MMO's. This game does not answer to any of those needs. No items are rare, there is little to no sense of accomplishment in this game, and since everyone can have everything, no one stands out.

I am sorry that individualism is a hard pill to swallow, but I don't want to have the same stuff as the next guy. It makes the game compelling when I can envy others and be the evny of others. It motivates people to stay subbed and have long term goals, something this game lacks.
