Primal drop system, still no changes?!

You couldn't just walk to a cave and fight Byakko 50 times in a single day either.

Drop rates will reflect the difficulty over time to obtain the items. I'd rather the fights have longer lockouts do reflect a better drop rate but people feel they need to be able to smash their heads into a wall until they win and expect a prize right out the gate.

People are not expecting a prize right out of the gate. People expect to have something to show after they have killed a boss 40 times other then grade 5 dark matter. Not exaggerating I know some one who had 40 wins and 2 totems.

This last weekend I ran him 6 times we got one cudgel and nothing else besides dark mater and vampire plants. This is with 8 people using lamps each time. Just to make you understand how bad that is that is a 2% drop rate we got or 1/48.

Those lucky bastards, I've fought him probably 200 times and have 2 totems and 1 weapon.

You can't take a sample size of one and then say the rest are just unlucky. You have to look over a large body of data really anything under 100 its to small a sample size to have a proper margin of error but with 50 kill you should have a pretty good idea what drop rates are actually like.

Yep I agree, it was just me and my wifes first time run we went to Ifrit and we both got weapon + totems while others didn't get anything and I didn't pay too much attention to the drop rates info on the forums so I thought that was normal then, kind of feel bad for others that was there... maybe should of passed the totem but then later wife and I talked about how it would of been better if wife or I passed the totems to each other to get other weapon we wanted.

Killed him once and got 1 totem, omg 100% drop rate confirmed.

LOL grats
