Here you go Yoshida, hard-straight stats.

I would honestly prefer a large cooldown on events like 24 hours, with an increased drop rate of course.

They are very much related to each other.

No no. If we can go in every 15 minutes and the drop rate is around 10-15%. That's pretty damn good. If we could only go in once per RL week. Then I can see someone complaining.

It's exactly as I said they are not the same. Once you have ifrit on farm where you are doing 5-10 ifrits a night or whatever, you will see how fast loot drops eventhough it's RNG. It's an average of 1 weapon per ifrit for my ls.

They need to fix the loot distribution ASAP. The current system is just garbage.

As for the Ifrit loot system, they could have made it so that 1 weapon drops at 100% chance per run to a random loot pool, that way if you wanted 8 people to have all 7 weapons, you would need to do at least 56 runs, probably many more due to doubles.. That way you'd see people doing it nearly as much as now, but without the frustration of one person (personally one of our guys who went 70+ runs without a drop. Funny thing is he was the second person in our group to get the set of 7, without any doubles I might add) recieving the same damn thing 10 times, or nothing at all.

The loot system is related to the drop rate. If they change the loot distribution to something else, the item acquisition rate will shift as well. They will have to change the drop rate to keep the current over-all balance they have deemed sufficient.

You would do that, I would expect said informed customers to be able to judge it themselves what is worth the time investment and what is not.

It's probably why you aren't managing a multinational corporation as we speak. Since your corporation would crash and burn.

Hahaha beeteljuice. How can you even defend the loot system for Ifrit with a straight face, lol. Classic.

That post wasn't even related to the loot sys-

Oh. I guess that's the point. Now you got a response off me. Congrats.

How many times have you killed Ifrit?

I've done it hmm.. lost count but it's well over 100. The fact that I've done it that many times and still feel the need to do it more (since I still enjoy it and still need 2 weapons) means mission accomplished by Yoshi-P. I'd say it's a successful system.

Um lol the exact same situation could be reproduced without the frustration though.

[Visch]

Or they could make it on a 24~72 hour cool down so the items would be rare and 1/2 the server wouldn't have them already. *gasp*

I could comment on that statement the exact same way 100 times and it would sound different every time.
