FFXIV Development Team Logic:
RNG x RNG x RNG = adequate, challenging content

UPDATE ON MY HATE <3
Farmed 4 chains today. =120 mobs. Got 5 lockboxes.
Going to cry.


I really don't like Happy Bunnies. As it stands, you already have to contend with three factors when getting your chest.
- You might not get a bunny.
- Depending on where your chest is, you might die on the way to it.
- You might not get the type of chest you want.
The first issue is somewhat mitigated by the repeatable nature of the FATEs, but the other two are still issues. Especially when some chests take you right next to monsters that you can't out level.
But to add a fourth level of BS onto it is just nonsensical. What incentive do I have to do a FATE, climb up a huge mountain, sneak around several enemies, slowly make my way to the chest site, see the type of chest I want, and then open it up just to get my 300th piece of the same vendor trash Materia V I can get from just about anything else?


I've opened probably around 50 CW Boxes and the most interesting things I've gotten were both furnishings, taru taru minion, and a golden eye.
I think what SE needs to do is cut out Materia V all together in those boxes based on their rarity to get. I feel if that happens we'll get closer to a point where we can more easily get the emote and minions.
I'd much rather in Pagos they have a token system (especially for an emote). Maybe like after you're done getting your weapon you can trade in frosted protean crystals for the emote. Like 15/20 or so, at least in that sense we'll actually have a goal to come back to in the case of the relic.
I think having the boxes be stuck through mutations only is rough, as most people mainly want light, and the monster that mutates the most frequently (Anubys) doesn't really give out as much light as the other 39/40's so it's tough to get a committed group of people to farm them. ALSO the fact only specific people in the group get the boxes in the first place should be changed. It's a group effort and I feel everyone should get one if it mutates and everyone is there to kill it. If someone is afk or not in combat when it's being killed that makes sense they shouldn't get one, but if everyone is putting their a-game in we should all be allowed one. Yeah it'll lower the price down on the minions and emotes due to them being easier to get, BUT Pagos is the middle content between Anemos and the next one. We only get a short amount of time to run through it, and to not get the light we need/Louhi not always spawning/the rarity of the CW Boxes, it's essentially SE saying "Wait till we nerf it...AGAIN"

Got my first cold lockbox yesterday. Got the emote in it. Another guy in our instance got a Burning Eye. Everything else has been confetti though...I think I used up all my RNG blessings![]()
"We want bunny suits for guys!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Ishgard housing!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Viera!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Cloud's motorcycle!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Blue Mage!"-- OK! ✅
"We want the ability to earn past Feast rewards!" - HAHA no that's sacred.

Again all day, nothing. Really screw this.



I hate the bunny thing though. If I'm going to go into Louhi's cavern, you best not be giving me a bronze chest and then act all pleased with yourself about it Mr. Bunny.
