Do we really need belts in the 24-man raids?

[Riko_Futatabi]

Kind of wish 24-man raids had accessories(rings etc.) as additional loot. For example you could get 1 right side equipment and 1 left side equipment per week. Also they've stuck to the same 24-man raid loot system for so long, it's about time to add a little more to them. 2 gear drops per boss, why not 4? Or a "chance" at up to 4? Maybe with the addition of accessories like I mentioned previously, it could be a bit more interesting. I probably like 24-man raids the most; I'm just tired of the same boring loot system. It's actually not only a 24-man raid thing either...most boss chests in the game cap at 2 gear loot. It's ok for 4-man dungeons, but 8-man plus should have at least a "chance" at 3~4 gear items dropping from whatever content. This game is very stingy with loot still...still.

They rely on pseudorandom generators and the one in this game has always been garbage.

Actually for once I am inclined to agree. I don't feel it so much with loot but I surely do feel it with mechanics sometimes. Example being things like GC. One lockout I as a healer am getting water on 80% of all pulls, on another RNJesus is stuck on another healer. It happens more often than not from how it feels (sadly I can't conveniently dig raw data to check for unbiased numbers but it goes as far as being caught off guard when you get the other debuff in a 50+ pull night during prog).
Then again, it's not unreasonable to suspect any personal feeling towards it is highly biased so I digress.

Pseudo random number generators tend to be streaky.

The Crystal Tower raid series has designated boss treasure pools. Uhh been a while since I bothered to care about The Shadow of Mhach treasure pools since those aren't locked anymore but I think those were a mix between designated and all bosses, such as you won't see belts after a certain boss. This series seems to be any item, any boss.

It's not. It was in Void Ark and they figured out it's a bad idea.

Actually I rolled need on a belt item for another job that had 310 belt in slot.

And apparently in ffxiv as of late ilvl > stats. If you can find a group, you can clear it.

The 330 belt has obviously higher stats and Ilvl.

Glamour is the true endgame of FFXIV. Look at how many threads/topics are created and responded to for glamour/fashion versus gear quality/stats.

In FFXIV, Glamour/Fashion >>> Everything else.

I pass on belts simply because other pieces are better bang for the buck.

Um... Belts don't show on your character model so this is moot.
