    Those are just assumptions or do you have data on that? Maybe giving regular tomestones would help? Why not test it?

    Will put you on ignore if you can't form a logical argument but argue nonetheless

    I have data, it's called the queue. At R-240/300 you're basically guaranteed to run into one other person doing Chocobo Racing, whether it's to farm MGP or wins or level their Chocobo.
    Verminion pops even less than Mahjong does, which is saying something. Especially given that you only need 2 people for Verminion.

    Can you stop trying to argue the point that a single specific Gold Saucer Duty is worthy of dropping tomestones rather than all of the other ones?
    You're in the Gold Saucer to get the Gold Saucer currency. If you want the Combat currency, go do Combat content.

    So your personal experience then. Great. How are que times on Oceania been? Might as well use those.

    I never argued against other gold saucer duties dropping tomestones. "The combat currency" is actually one of several and can also be gotten from tribes... some of which are crafter / gatherer quests... so "strong" argument from you there...

    You're showing your lack of knowledge for the game. Only the combat tribes (4 of the 5 ARR, Vanu and Vath, Kojin and Ananta, Pixie, and the elephant people i can't spell the name of) give tomestones, and that's only if you're above the level at which you'd have obtained EXP from them on-content.
    Gathering/Crafting tribes don't give you tomes if you do them at/above their level cap. They don't give you scrip, either.

    It's not anecdotal evidence. Try asking in the Achievement Lobby about Verminion. Everyone'll tell you that it's borderline impossible to get an RP match going without asking someone else in or out of game to queue with you, especially during Mogstone events.

    I never even looked how little tomestones those dailies give and also not if the crafters and gatheres quests do. Why are you so against non-combat related duties giving tomestones? You can get gil with crafting and buy equipment for battle jobs. So what's the difference? If the que for Verminion is so bad then maybe it should give tomes. Heck make it give a few poetics for 50+ chars and endgame tomes aswell for 90 characters. Don't want to destroy lvl 90 dungeon queues? Just give only a small amount. Then see if it even does something or if people still won't bother.

    you're showing your brain damage again. it's not going to give tomes because it doesn't give experience and it's not going to give experience because it's the gold saucer
