Ifirit, how it could have been done better.

[NoctisUmbra]

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.

So, you're solution to low drop rate son epic gear is to increase the drop rates and make the gear weaker?

So we should just have much more of slightly above average gear instead of a handful of very strong gear?

What did you say about shitty design again?..

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.

It's not a perfect system. Don't pretend what you're suggesting is any better.
