    Buddy, they had trouble getting people to use materia even when they made it rain from the sky for the past 2 expansions. You could literally give people 100000 essences for free and they'd rationalize that it's better to vendor them for their glam glams than use them. "yOu dOnT nEeD EsSencEs lol"

    They'll either have to nerf CLL/DR or add alternatives to go around the content all together. I suppose they could add some decent hard enrages so people either use the tools given to them or fail but I suspect they don't want to alienate all the leeches.

    You are not wrong there, bud. However, there's also another syndrome that plagues these players: x99 Elixir syndrome. Unless we're specifically farming for said fragments, the game return us very little to no fragments at all. To add in the insult, the nature of RNG means said fragments probably won't give the ones we want either. As it is now, too many factors discourages players from using those tools.

    I actually got a lot of fragments while doing my 15 nDRs for the relic... at rank 10 (was rank 13 by the end of it). To use these fragments I needed to be rank 15. Thankfully, I had a small stockpile of essences and just swapped jobs as they ran out, but why do only rank 15 fragments drop? If you let us in that early then the drops should be to our rank.
