But your post just now says you don't have a problem with it.


But you're telling people to take their time because they'll tire themselves out. What if taking your time does tire you out? You think its the best route to go. What if I want to rush it for other reasons? What if I can only play so much a day and want to get content done asap before new stuff is out? What if I have other things I need to do? What if I don't have time to take my time? That's the whole point.



Again, why do you have to take your time? But lets use this method right now. Say I want a Garuda Axe. Lets take the take your time method and the coin flip method. I flip the coin 20 consecutive times and not win. The next time I take my time. 3 wins. Nothing. The next day 3 wins. Nothing. The next day nothing. Lets say on the 21st time I get the axe on both occasions. It would have taken me 7 days to get it while it would have been day 2 the other way. Now how many more attempts do I have to get the axe? None. Now I could take 100 times to get the axe. How long would that take by taking your time before it becomes to the point to where you want to rip your hair out? I just don't understand how taking your time helps with anything. I'm sorry.
Ok ok. What I'm trying to say is you should play the game how you most enjoy it. I'm saying that it is an issue with the argument, not the game. The argument is that the drops should be skill based, but that is coming from someone who rushed through the content only to get pissed at never getting the gear they wanted. I'm just trying to put in some perspective. Right now, the gear isn't helping you because there's no content after. If you play the game only as long as you enjoy it, the chances are that the odds remain the same and you come out with no gear. The difference is that you only enjoyed the game and didn't drive yourself beyond that. If you enjoy 200 speed runs, then do it. If you can only enjoy 20 speed runs, do 20 and save more runs for another day.
Of course there are those that find enjoyment in having the gear and not the enjoyment in getting it. I have no solution for them except to try and look at it with a different perspective. You don't really have a use for the item yet, so no rush.
I'm not trying to force people to play slowly. That's not my goal. I'm trying to let people know that they can go to bed knowing that if they keep doing it, whether it be a rushed 200 or a slow few runs, the item will eventually come. The best thing you can do is enjoy those runs. It is but a temporary fix until the devs can balance the drop rate issues.

So please don't misunderstand. I am saying Play the game to your enjoyment. Take your time, rush it, but don't make the game a chore. My condolences go out to those of you with "ocd" and just have to get 100% immediately.
