You just spent 2 hours trying to get a key to drop.

[RemVye]

I don't know imo I assume that's worth it. You are after all fighting an NM not some primal.

Dude what are you talking about? You should get a piece of gear every 2 hours... Just like if I wanted to get some Grand Company gear and I spent 2 hours farming GC leve's I could get one piece (5,000 GC seals). What kind of game is this where you have to rely on % drop chance to get gear?

Games like WoW have it right, I mean I spent 7+ months farming VoA and got one drop!

Again, the arrows suck... but it's part of the game. Just like Dark Candies... remove those and give more Gil lol.

The funny thing is, if you're farming the Sipahi Turban, all the drakes in that area drop about the same amount of cobalt arrow pretty frequently lol.

Love you.

That was super casual right!? WoW doesn't have endgame that last 7 months plus you liar that's totally not hardcore. I mean come on you should have everything done in 3 weeks max like in WoW! 7 months pfft. Liar.

So you are trying to tell me you can get a pink phoenix mount in 3 weeks on wow? Dream on nerd...
It could take you years...

The small amount is just ludicrous. Can you imagine if it were real life, medieval times, you and your band of companions storm the enemy stronghold, defeat the beasts as they rain down hurt on you, and after the bloody battle, you approach their battle chest with anticipation. You defeated the beast that was the key holder and you are prepared to reap the treasure of these man-killing savages. Never again will they kill your wife and children or set whole villages aflame. You are ready to steal their wealth and make an attempt at rebuilding your shattered life. With a satisfying click you open the lock, and open the huge chest to reveal.. 8 arrows.

LOL

It has nothing to do with being hardcore vs casual, its just a ridiculously stupid drop to have inside a chest. As an archer I have never been sitting there thinking "If only I had 8 more arrows." Atleast all of the other drops are materiable, even if they are terrible pieces of gear.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Sarcasm over the Internet tends to convey itself poorly unless you put a giant sarcasm tag in your post.

Edit: Crap, he WAS being serious. Color me surprised.

[Griss]

I think there is a rage comic in here somewhere.

The people complaining about drop rate and coffer drops would not have lasted a day in FFXI. Get over it. There's always WoW if you want things handed to you.

[Belial]

Never again will they kill your wife and children or set whole villages aflame.

... Until the respawn timer is up! Then back to raping and pillaging of wives, children & villages. Damn pervy beastmen.

Right I forgot to add that /sarcasm. I'm very well aware of how long things do take to get in that game I'm just under the impression on these forums most people think you can get everything with in a few weeks on WoW since you know it's "not hardcore".

Case and point. I've known plenty of other XI players that seem to think that.
