Primal Drop System, Totem/Nut Charm and Taper/Keystone: Infos about it?

To whom it may concern:

200 Kills for 7/7 ifrit: you're doing it wrong.

<Luck> <You can have this>

I got my first ifrit weapon (blade) on my first kill. Then another weapon 10 kills later, and so on. 1 weapon every 10 kills was my average. I obtained 5 weapons + 10 totems in less than 60 kills, and never once got a duplicate. It took me maybe another 20 or 30 kills to get the one of remaining two weapons i needed due to the fact that I got a duplicate three times. Then, I bought my last weapon with the 10 totems I held on to. Less than 100 kills.

Now, to salt the wounds, i'm going to let you in on the story of my lala ls member who got 4 different ifrit weapons (no duplicates) in 7 kills. Read em and weap. 4 weapons, seven kills, full moon, lalafell. It must be the fact that he is a Lalafell.

I know others have gone 0/200 or something rediculous but I can't help but feel that this was prepatch. Post totem patch I believe they alleviated drop rates slightly so that may be the cause for my case as well as that other lucky lala. On the other hand i know another lala who got 5 or 6 ifrit cudgels... and that just sucks.

On the other hand, I agree that making weapons drop to loot list and passable to other players would be nice, but in the end it might just make it too easy to obtain all 7 weapons. Part, if not all, of the reasoning behind primals, and the rest of any mmo for that matter, is to keep players playing (and paying) for as long as possible. So it is understandable that SE would make it thus.

On the other hand, if there were more end game content such as...7 different primal battles, i'm sure we wouldn't be having this discussion. Players would be out there trying to obtain other items from different end game contents. This would break the monotony of repeating the same fight hundreds of times over and over again and no one would be here complaining about how tedious it is to get all 7 weapons because there would be something else to aim for as soon as you got bored of it.

I'm so butthurt it took me so long to be 7/7 for both ifrit and moogle, so butthurt. I know it's my own fault for not controlling the rng gods, and yes I was doing my best to brag about killing a stupid fight an obscene amount of times. Man you got the best of me. Did I mention I'm butthurt?

Went 0/50 after totem pacth so this statement is moot.

The only moot point in my post is that I thought people getting low drop rates was because of pre patch conditions. The rest is valid. Some of us got a drop every two kills, others every ten kills, and then there's you - every 50 kills. What can I say? Sucks for you bro, better luck next time.

Or maybe there really is a GM playing Ifrit behind every Primal Fight who determines what drop you will get based on your attitude and gives you a drop for being nice and helpful, or not for being a complete ****.

I am sorry you feel that way, I have never been butthurt and hope it never happens to me.

My point about all this QQ being a result of lack of lacking endgame PewPew is valid though.

If there were more primals you would be out there trying to obtain those other priaml gears and if it was just as hard or tedious to get as Ifrit's weapons you wouldn't be on the forums complaining, you would be out in Eorzea standing proud and bragging. Why? Because the way it stands, the only end game content is to max all jobs to 50, get 7/7 Ifrit weapons and 7/7 moogle weapons and once you've done all of that, you are just like the rest - no feeling of pride, no sense of accomplishment and no fond memories to be had. But if there were 7 priamls that each dropped 7 diff items, with a similar drop rate - maybe, just maybe it would take 1 year to get all that loot, and by the end you would feel like a BAMF because the rest of the people around you might have only accomplished half as much in the same amount of time.

Luck != Accomplishment

Cause wasting an entire year of your life for a stupid fucking game is awesome? Fuck mang, i've been doing it wrong.

You should probably quit this game right now. There are FFXI veterans around this neck of the woods that spent 5+ years playing XI, and i doubt any of them would call it a "waste". If you see yourself as "wasting" time playing XIV, hy bother playing it for even second? That just makes you a loser.

Luck != Accomplishment

Luck =/= accomplishment, but perseverance does.
