    Sorry in advance I did not read every comment so if someone said this already awesome.

    A longer cooldown with greater drop rates would potentially be great for the "individual" player, but how about an LS as a whole. I know personally my LS does not have 8 person statics, sometimes when we are doing events we rotate players based pn jobs, drops, clear credit, etc. If group A clears and now has to wait 2 days, what happens to everyone else?

    I'm sure this would work for a select portion of the community that always travels with the same people, but would alienate a large group that do rotational events or PUGs

    I give SE credit, they are doing "The lesser of two evils.". We need to face the fact, regardless what they do, people will complain. What alarms me is that everyone assumes their opinion matters and we all want to hear it. Sadly that just isn't the case in the real world.

    If you are unhappy doing something every 15 minutes, do something else.

    By this you mean "Doing the same exact content that has terrible drop items which aren't worth the trouble?" Just wondering what you mean by this.

    Now that you mention it, every type of endgame content (even crafting + gathering) has a lovely RNG > Skill thing.

    By this I mean anything else, literally ANYTHING.

    Go craft, mine, socialize, raindeer ifrit, rum through town in a Subligar.

    If you do the same thing 20 times a day, day after day. I dont care what it is...you will get burnt out. If you can say "well I've done everything!". Here is my recommendation to you then

    Grab a peice of paper and tape it to your screen and write on it "Game Over! You Won!" Pat yourself on the back and move on.

    .
    Yeah that's about anything really, even in real life. What I'm trying to get at is, this is going back to the OP, people shouldn't be largely rewarded based on just luck alone, but based on skill AND Luck. Sure keep the RNG so that content makes you keep going back to it but if its .10% chance of getting the item that's not content, that's just a dumb way to get people going back to it. It's not skills anymore if you know exactly what to do ._. I know I know, the whole luck and skill thing contradicts each other but yeah... if luck is mostly the only thing that brings you back to that said content that's just dumb <_<
