Ifirit, how it could have been done better.

[Brannigan]

I hope you're not trying to insist that the Ifrit fight is difficult... I'd have to suggest that you may have less than average intelligence if you struggle with the fight given the amount of information including detailed strategies that exist currently.

The fight is so easy that giving away free items would be ridiculous and you would see even more people than you do currently wielding those flame poons. As stated before the only true fallback in this system, which we all agree is shitty design, is that you are able to get duplicates of items you already possess.

Have a great fucking night Zack Brannigan.

If the Ifrit fight itself isn't difficult (which it's not) then the solution isn't to make the drops super rare, it's to make the drops not as good. I don't understand how you can possibly justify getting Dark Matter 50 times in a row unless you just like doing mindless shit. Duplicates are NOT the only flaw.

Right.

Let's just own up Ifrit, get our favorite weapon first and then get the other 6 in like 2 days and call it until the next patch. Genius.

Let's artificially extend content life by filling players' pockets with Dark Matter because we put a 15 minute lockout on success instead of something more fitting.
