Here you go Yoshida, hard-straight stats.

I loved the system they used for Einherjar in FFXI. Everyone would get an equal amount of tokens which they could trade in for items at an NPC. That way, even if you didn't get any drops, you'd still feel rewarded, which again, made people feel motivated to keep doing it.

Every once in a long while I venture in to these forums (reluctantly no doubt)... I can't imagine so many "players" here have every played any other MMO in their lives. It's quite baffling.

Think I'll just stick with Reinhearts thread for good.

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

I'm 100% sure once the item get out of the loot list in the inventar it would be char bounded.

Thanks for the 5 ifrits canes Yoshi i can build a life raft and use them to float to another mmo.

Epic...........

Most people in these forums are like children, they want what they want and will throw a fit if they don't get it. They won't settle for anything less then perfection(which doesn't exist). They continue to fail to understand why they just can't fix everything they want, the way they want it, NOW. It's really quiet depressing.

Hence the merc runs, people can/have done 7man Ifirit fights before and I'm sure there will be groups willing to sell their talents for a hefty chunk of gil.

I hate the need/greed system, how can you deem someone that needs something? YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING! YOU WANT EVERYTHING! Everyone will just either do greed>need. It's a terrible system that doesn't need to be implemented and it's a waist of resources

It's just a modified /random roll.

I see no point in having the weapon drop and then a npc-tradable item as well, it would be better to just have the npc-tradable item IMO.
SE never do things the easy way though. WHY IS THIS !! ??

Just another flaw to the list. I'm getting REALLY curious to see what excuse the dev team will use when we migrate to 2.0 servers...because right now it's always the current server's fault.

PS3 limitations of course, worked well enough for them in FF11.

I'm happy to hear they are doing a token-like system but I'm not sure I like their implementation. I think it'd be better if it was untradable but dropped for each person.

Exactly, everyone should get a 1 token per fight and then say after collecting 10 you can buy your weapon.

I would be totally happy with that, gives me something to work towards.

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.

Where did it say the tokens would be tradable between PC players ?
Common sense tells me they would only be tradable to an NPC, but then I suppose I shouldn't let common sense fool me, it is SE we are talking about.

LOL!

Very true...i forgot about this one.

I really love the irony of this statement. It has nothing to do about the drop rate. It has to do with how the current method of obtaining the weapons, something most MMOs developers would laugh at.
