Primal drop system, still no changes?!

[Airget]

This whole loot issue seems to go in a constant circle where people ask for the ability to pass the weapons but others respond with but that's why they added totems, then another person ask why can't we pass weapons and another person says taht's why they added totems, then another person ask why can't we pass weapons and another person says that's why they added totems.. can you see how this starts to become redundant.

They have already already already said they have no plans to change it, they have already said that's why they added totems and by changing the ability to pass weapons they would also have to change the drop rate. It just isn't worth it, just be persistent if you really want it your time will come and if you want the system to work then make sure you have friends who are willing to pass totems to you if they have already gotten the weapon they wanted and are willing to help cause in the end that's what they're there for, to help your fellow comrade. The ability to pass both would just eliminate the purpose as to why they added totems lol.

I would rather see the drop once in a blue moon than see a drop wasted. It is not fair to any person running the fight (specially those looking for a specific weapon and those helping people get said weapons) if the weapon FINALLY drops and goes to someone in the party that ALREADY HAS IT. I can't even begin to say how redundant that is. Honestly its even disrespectful and in a way mocking the players- it's like saying "oh here's the drop, but wait, its not going to you but someone who already has it and can't even give it to you! trollololollololol". They need to change this, they seriously need to add a proper working loot system not a randomized loot system. My concern right now is more for 2.0 because I know for a fact that people who try this game at 2.0 will expect quite a lot from it, and this being one of the main content the game has to offer (as an MMO and as a FF title) it really does need to be fixed. Otherwise people will continue to criticize how backwards the design of this game is.

Yoshida so far you have done a great job, don't overlook something as important as this.

I wouldn't want to eliminate something stupid D:

After just under 200 runs (I count runs via taper stacks, I'm on my 200th run taper stack but don't know how many I have left without logging on) I've had 5 totems. Obviously totems aren't a solution to this when they're a crap ton rarer than the drops themselves and we need 10 of them.
