    ^^ SO much this

    It blows my mind the folks who wants everything given to them. It's this "I want a trophy because i participated" mentality

    these folks would have gone insane if they ever played MMOs from the past. This MMO is so much more "user" friendly than other MMOs. Folks just have no idea.

    I do agree that RNG sucks. I know. Running POTD countless times to get my ilvl 235 weapons and seeing "your atehrial armor is unchanged" for 40 times is aggravating but it's the nature of the beast for getting things you want.

    The problem with a low % RNG is that there will be people for whom acquiring this hairstyle will an impossibility. The lower the % drop rate the higher the chances of more people never getting it.

    That said, there is nothing to stop them from putting this into the loot table for retainer ventures, or buffing the drop rate after a few months to ensure that long term, no one is frozen out.

    Literally false, it's apparently tradeable and if so, there will always be people selling it.

    It's not marketable/tradeable (edit: Apparently tradeable but not marketable? Strange decision).

    The only thing SE could have done is make the hairstyle sellable on the MB, then would have be perfect.
    A little worried about the effects it'll have on the prices of items long term though, it doesn't seem like a feasible money maker long term due to almost every item in FFXIV seemingly having a far lower demand than supply.
