I don't want a drop rate increase to come before the totem exchange because it doesn't fix the issue that someone might never loot it. The totem exchange should have already been in game as soon as the primals were released.

2% sounds about right for release drop rate. That's why I usually wait til they increase it a bit.
Also what is it with all these lootmaster farms these days? First come first serve, seriously wtf? Why should I have more right to the drop just because I happened to see the party in pf 1 minute earlier than someone else? And honestly, with drop rates like this, the only person that benefits from lootmaster is the party leader himself. Still, almost all farm parties I see these days are lootmaster. Just why do people fill these groups?
I hate lootmaster parties. Majority of them I've ever joined(don't do so anymore) loot and scoot. Free for all still has the same issue, but at least EVERYONE has that chance.2% sounds about right for release drop rate. That's why I usually wait til they increase it a bit.

I've been in precisely /one/ that actually stayed together up until the sixth pony was dropped, but then it fell apart before everyone else could get theirs. It's why I never join those parties as what incentive do you even have to stay if you're the fifth or even up to the eighth people who joined? It's going to take forever, particularly in new content, AND people are going to leave and disband unless you get mounts for every single run.

Yeah it makes me go mad just reading it on PF, i wish i could say to them come on ur own damn face u prick. But I have to be honest that I DID have the urge to use lootmaster system but than again, i would not be any different than them. The only plus side since i can do does fights blind i always help does who need the clear, and help them for free and not pay them 2 mil like i see on the forums.
If I'm remembering HW correctly, I don't think totem trade-ins will occur until the next EX primal is released or the half-patch there-after. So if the interview with Yoshi-P was an indication, when/if Shinryu EX happens in 4.1, the totem exchange will either be in that one or the following patch. I'm a bit hazy on it, but I seem to remember some HW primals getting mount drop-rate buffs first while others might have just went straight to totem trade-ins without the buff.
Speaking of the HW mounts, since it was brought up, I do think that the HW primal mounts are "nicer" regarding the effects of their luminous wings coupled with their form when they fly being nice to look at. However, I find them to look ridiculous whenever they are traveling on the ground or in a non-flight area; birds with with that body shape and shorter legs running that way just looks funny to me. So I have to say that on ground travel, the SB dogs/wolves just look better and more natural. I think the main appeal for the new mounts are that they resemble a certain wolf from a certain Clover Studio game (based-off of folklore).
I see the current drop-rate of these SB mounts are also up for debate (and will always be anecdotal), but from my experience, I feel like these new primal mounts (even from HW) start out with about a hard 5% drop rate. I had a bit over 200 Bismark totems while farming the mount and had seen 13 mounts drop. I don't remember Ravana's; I didn't even get up to 60 kills. But with 99 Susano kills, I've seen 8 mounts drop. With 56 Lakshmi kills I've seen 4 mounts drop. I do realize that there are some people who go on very long "dry spells" without even seeing the whistle/fifes drop, but with drop rates I see looking closer to 10% (and I know that's not common), the average seems to come out to something around 5%, rather than the "2%" I see getting thrown around.
