add Random stat rolls to in game drops

Noooooooo.

Please never ever add any random stat crap to that amazing game. If you wanna play a slot machine just go for it and leave me alone. Or if you wanna try how it feels to have random stats, substats, itemlevel in different stages at the same item - then play WoW. Have fun with it. Omg it hurts so much...

I love you FFXIV, I do so much! Thank you for the ability to grind tombstones to get my gear. Thank you for all that nice glams and the beauty of all those creatures and landscape. Thank you for all those funny hours I spent with you. Thank you for that community!

my feelings on the matter:

Thanks no. Don't make this game another typical Korean "spend 120000000 hours for taking one valuable piece of armor because there is 2% chance of drop and 0.0001% chance of taking needable stats" MMO, please. If it ever will be a thing, I'll just throw away my sub, and I suspect I will not be the only one in this case.

I wouldn't mind if there was a RNG nature as to which secondary stats a piece of equipment had, but that the values of those remained constant, or relative to their weight.
For example, having caster gear be able to roll with either Crit, Determination or Spellspeed. So you don't get lumped with an entire set that's all native Spellspeed when you're playing RDM...

RNG stat rolls wouldn't help that though. It would actually make it worse since as things are now if raid gear has stats your class doesn't like you can choose token or crafted gear. If token gear has bad stats you can choose raid or crafted. So on and so forth. With RNG stats you wouldn't be able to know if you get x gear then it would definitely not have bad stats... it could *all* have bad stats.

If you love rng so much go play maplestory 2

You don't really have much choice though. If theres 10 ilvls between them you've pretty much gotta go for the higher one.

If crafted items could come out with either Crit, Det or SpS, then when buying crafted gear at least you'd have a choice.

We are going to have to disagree on that. Having experience with games that randomize stats, it limits your gearing ability, not vice versa.
