Interview of Naoki Yoshida during the Japan Expo

[Betelgeuzah]

@ Hyan Jormy didn't drop worthwhile loot at all. Vrtra was annoying to get to but usually killed within a week up until ToAU came out and there was better BRD gear. Tiamat dropped the best loot of all three and I guarantee you it was killed within an hour of spawning on my server. Often times, literally camped like Nidhogg.

Like I said, it wasn't that way from the beginning. And like I said, competition depends on the incentive. Who told you that the roaming Ifrit Primal drops Ridills or even loot at all?
