My problem is not with the absurdly low drop rate, but the fact you have to do the same mindless boring dungeons over and over to get a piece. (forget a set)

First it was kill Ifrit 200 times to get the weapon you want.
Next it was kill Moogle 200 times to get the weapon you want.
Clear AV/CC 1000 times to get the armor piece you want.

This kills the casual gamer. Either your hardcore and find a shell to run it night after night or you stand no shot at the 1/100 chance that you will see a drop.

I guess this is fun, but what do you expect when they are focusing on 2.0 and SE's idea of "hard content" is a crazy low drop rate.

What amazes me the most is that everyone falls for their ruse. You guys (me included) will all kill Garuda 200 times to get that weapon you want. I guess content = doing a dungeon/boss till your eyes bleed.

The part that is really going to upset me is when they put in achievements for clearing each dungeon 1000 times but start the counter over at 0~
I got my moogle axe on my second run.

In any case, he's free to go and put materia into some armor and have pretty decent gear.
He's complaining about this very specific set of gear in the game when he has all these other available options.

This set of gear is for people who are willing to spend all that time farming it.
