Hamlets ~.~

People didnt quit 11 because of bad drops, they quit because it became easy. (It honestly sounds like you might like 11... should try it)

Drop rates on seals is 50% if your getting 60k+, and im not sure youve said thats what your doing yet (could have missed it), given bad luck can happen, but generally every group thats lasted a decent amount of time, the drop has ended to be around that.
9/9 seals and many others in ls have the same.~

I would give you my 9 seals for a fkn mining hat.

I could be remembering this wrong, but people really shouldnt be to worried about these weapons... whether its true or not, who knows, but alot expect level cap to raise soon after 2.0, maby not right away but within a few months... all of this will be a joke by then. If you think this drop rate is bad, you have a new level of hell on the way getting your double stacked T4 weapon, then getting 3 mythril's from AV and CC with a <1% drop rate unless you get a <17min 5chest speedrun from both dungeons, then the coins from a stronghold, then extreme ifrit and garuda... I see alot of people getting upset over something they will never finish to start with.

Also i believe in 11... they called AF1 gear "relic", its the community that called actual relics... relics..., this is just the AF weapon, if cap is raised, unless all this content is changed... it will all truely be a joke later in the game to get.

We were 1 out of 4 runs.

No, Vedis, I didn't get one.

Rustled your jimmies is a phrase that has been around for a long time. Not some meme.

You just described the definition of the word meme, then said it wasn't a meme because it was. Are you ****ing kidding me?

Also, in case you haven't been anywhere on the internet recently, even by your definition of meme it is one. *inserts picture of a humanoid ape with the caption that is floating around everywhere on the web*

(Soube's fun fact of the day, the term 'meme' was coined to describe any overly used phrase, it has nothing to do with pictures that have captions on the interwebs.)

And back to the actual topic of this thread, yes Hamlets are an irritating waste of time that reward people who dump all their materials onto one character just so they have a chance at one of only 3 slots to obtain the seals. They could just make the points cumulative for the duration of the combat portion of hamlet so you could work your way UP to the gold chests, but noo, that would make too much sense and be far, far too reasonable.

But then the delusional (ima get lucky and get all my stuff in a week) people will be upset because it would be a grind fest (despite the fact that you're going to grind it anyway).

While i hate hamlet, and think its worst content i ever played in a MMO. Id say the dev team keeps going in the wrong direction with content. They say they want stuff to be good for pick up and play then they implement a system like hamlet which defeats everything they said. Hamlet is very stupid to get seals for when you don't have a 8 man static. Hell even with a whole ls it could take forever.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck mate. Does kinda suck when you spend a whole night doing something and have nothing to show in return. It's been the total opposite in the runs I have done, we have seen a plethora of seals drop but not a single one on the DoL hats in 125+ runs ; ;

The only thing I can suggest is perhaps trying to push for 70k runs. We have done around 10 of these and I'm pretty sure we only didnt see a seal drop in one of those. It will take the whole 30 mins to accomplish this, spamming synths after the trash mobs are dead just to bump up the points, everyone using L1 broken weapons etc etc. but it certainly seemed to help us. I'm sure there's all kinds of ways to bump up the points that just havent been discovered yet (we found out the other day turning an item into materia during a run nets you 10 points lol) but you will get there. As mentioned above, /rally the toops at the start and /laugh at the NM will net you an easy 400 points with the multiplier. Good luck on drops
