I'm not saying you can't complain about the system, or improve it, but the problem has nothing to do with fairness. Everyone has an equal chance for all items no matter what, and that's actually perfectly fair.



What you're demanding is a way to shift the odds in your favor. You actually want more unfairness, ironically enough. That's all I'm pointing out here.
You are correct. The analogy should be, first time you roll a 6, you receive a 50 dollar bonus. Next, designated parking space, then health care, then bonus vacation days, then new office. The list goes on, but the point remains the same. If other MMOs vastly older than FFXIV can make a loot system that distributes gear at an even rate, then so can FFXIV. Especially when the disparity in item acquisition rate is so large.
