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

[Murugan]

because the idea of them helping someone else out doesn't cross their mind

Who are these people? Why is Square Enix designing content for trolls and server outcasts and not the majority of their players who do content like Ifrit with people they know and specifically want to help out?

There are many people doing Ifrit right now who are doing it specifically to help others get their items and for no other reason (it is a boring, tedious fight at this point), but Yoshida thinks it is totally fine to slap them in the face by implementing a currency grind instead of simply letting them trade the 8-9th Ifrit's Blade dropped to them to their friend who is 0-100.

oh believe me i am completely on your side with this. my post was in response to you asking the other guy why he supported the grind instead of being able to just toss it to someone else. we all know there may be some person that tries to ninja a drop, but since it went into the loot list everyone was able to see it. when they did so they were just kicked and remembered not to ever party with again.

if they want the community to work together they should give them the chance to do so. i never heard any complaints about the batraal loot system other than they wanted a master looter to decide who gets what. that would have been easy to add, but it would have been close to the original system and yoshi wants to change everything for the pure sake of changing it even if his ideas are even worse.
