Loot drops in 24 mans

[WlyemR]

I like the 24 man's, but trying to get a specific piece of gear can be insanely frustrating sometimes. If there was a weekly token system that reset every week, something like 10 runs or so, that let you pick a piece of gear, that would make it feel a bit less futile. When your looking at fifteen runs and no drop, it starts to get ridiculous.

The thing I like for them to do is to make a system so that 2 of the same item will NEVER appear in a chest.

I mean, there are runs when I see 2 of the same casting belts in a chest.

its only going to get worse the more jobs that are added. 2 of same belt dropping could be beneficial for players in certain situations, but not realisitic mayhaps.

At least the 24 mans drop two pieces per chest at this point. World of Darkness has some nice stuff, but one piece per chest.

Not that that actually matters when I ran Weeping City seventeen times for the scouting set.

5 drops per chest - i still didn't get what i wanted! booooo i run this like 50 times so far

Good luck. I don't run raids anymore. Got tired never winning any items and only items did ever get is what ones all passed on. should be instead of dropping boxes at the end gives each player a random gear piece for there class to make it fair.

The weekly lockout is annoying. I think you get to "need" one piece of gear a week and than "Greed" is fair game. Watching armor just get dropped is silly.

and then everyone got everything they wanted and never played the game again until next patch.

That already happens. Once you play the ilvl game long enough you begin to see it is just an artificial gate to continue playing and thus pointless. But in that same vein you have people who will be fully decked out and 24 mans are really just catch up gear to be replaced by the next best set. For me Rabanastre I will still only run once a week even once the lockout is eliminated. The only time I really cared was during LotA and that was because I didn't know any better. If anything the only thing it serves a purpose for is glamour and why should that be so hard to obtain?

There are lots of reasons to still play and artificial gates aren't them.

I was once religious in doing the weekly runs, but not now. I have learned it's just a trap to keep you running 1000's of runs to never get that last piece for a set. I just do not worry any more about doing them, soon a new dungeon will appear with a new set of ilvl gear with it, and then your back to to the same old game. It's just the same Merry-go-round and after years and multiply times - it has gotten old - real old!
