Here you go Yoshida, hard-straight stats.

Man I'd rather deal with Ninja looters than I would randomly distrubuting the drop items.At least they are giving us a form of credits to turn in though...I wonder how much people are going to try selling them for...

Although to be honest this is just one more concern I am going to have about this game becoming overly instanced...

I didn't think that I was vague in what was posted, but after looking it over and discussing it, I made an update to simplify it further. The original post has been updated and here is the changed text:

This is similar to the OP's suggestion, but we have decided to preserve the current drop rates for weapons and individual chests. And in addition to the reward weapon, we will introduce an item that can be traded to an NPC for a weapon. This new item will drop at a fixed rate, and will be loot list-tradable, so you will have an opportunity to pass it to another player. (Updated on 11/22, 6:45pm PST for clarity)

A poorly implemented loot system in one of the main features of 1.19 and a half-baked solution does not bode well for the future.

Even the need/greed system he mentions coming in 2.0 doesn't really work for this game because people can play multiple classes.

hows adding an ex item to trade for a weapon that can be passed any different than the unfairness Yoshi said adding a lootlist would create. Instead of LSes priortizing the weapons and asking people to pass to someone else eventho they want it now ;they will just make/ask LS members to pass the ex item to the person they deem worthy or has bidded the most points on. Seems like the same bullshit as the shitty droprate. Thanks for the 5 ifrits canes Yoshi i can build a life raft and use them to float to another mmo.

I agree completely. Making only the tokens tradable has far more potential for abuse than just weapons. I can already see groups offering to take a leech on a run and sell tokens for exorbitant amounts of gil.

It wasn't vague. People just love to read things sentence by sentence instead of as a whole. O.o

Thanks for the clarification. That system is much better.

Hey gang, Yoshida made a post a bit ago about the 1.20 plans for revising Ifrit-related drops.

You sure this isn't Mis-translated?

The post got edited for a Translation error after I posted that.

So who here thinks that merc runs for Ifirit are going to get really popular next patch?
