To Yoshida-san - Poor Excuse for Continuing Horrible Time Sink Loot System from Ifrit

[Murugan]

I understand that this is what we get till 2.0, but I much rather see the drop rate lowered, but the weapon itself goes into a loot pool. Yoshi just needs to trust that we won't ninja loot. Sure they are out there, but I think that majority of players who play honestly should not have to suffer under these conditions because a very small amount of people do not play fairly. Most people go to these events within their LS, I think ninja looting would very rarely be an issue.

I will take this idea however in 1.20. At least I know I will eventually get my weapon. I have successfully killed Ifrit over a hundred times and I have 6/7 weapons. Want to guess the one last weapon I don't have? That is right, the weapon I actually want, the sword. I gave up trying to get the weapon and waiting for 1.20 to get the Moogle Sword. If I beat him over a hundred times and don't get what I want, don't you think this is a problem?

Make the drop rate lower, but put the weapon in a loot pool. At least I don't feel like I am getting jerked around when a mage with a lv.36 GLA who only leveled it for Sentinel got my sword, and just puts it in their retainer. It is a kick in the balls that most of the people in my LS have the sword, can't even use it, and myself, who is a GLA main does not have one because of an awful system like this put into place.

But myself and hundreds more, right?

This decision is an attack on your choice to do content with a linkshell, with friends, and not random strangers who would stab you in the back.

Someone needs to tell Yoshida that the majority of their players do not have this problem with "ninja looting" and want to regain a sense of teamwork in their goals and rewards. Something we at least had until 1.19. Without it content suffers greatly.

We "complained" about your loot because of the personal loot lists and somehow from that Yoshida and his team read that we needed you to simplify loot to a currency grind? Maybe they should shut down these forums if their reading comprehension is really so low.

I think personally this is the worst decision the FFXIV team has made since launch.
