How can such horrid primal drop rates even exist?

[Estellios]

Ifrit and Moogle weapons aren't even that good anymore anyway. Grand Company Sergeant and Lieutenant weapons as well as the Giantsgall weapons are comparable or faaaar better and you don't have to put up with the drop rates.

I wanted one of each (Ifrit, Moogle, Garuda, ...) as a memento of 1.0 since they won't be available in ARR. However, as the drops suck that much, I'll consider myself lucky if I can get even one while playing casually. ;_;

Stupidly terrible drop rates need to be obliterated with the crash of Dalamud. Please Yoshi-P!

Welp! I feel the urge of giving my opinion on this matter. It is important to know and understand that not all players feel the same way as you guys do, and infact the drop rates are REALLY good if you compare to most MMORPG's were you need to farm for months to get 1 item that is only slightly better than what you can buy.

But anyways, not going to talk about other games. However I do feel the drop rates here are way too good, more then it should be. And the reason for me to say this is because I have only been playing for 3 months and half, and have gotten almost all in this game. It feels like there is no reward in this game since there arent any items that you can get and show off since almost everyone on the server has them (even relics are seen very often now). And whats even worse, you dont need any of the end game content because you can do everything in this game with just AF and a regular level 50 weapon. To me this makes it like there is no reason for me to keep playing since there is so little left for me to do.

Dont get me wrong, I dont like farming the same enemy for a whole month to just get 1 item. However I do think the difficulty on these enemies is way to easy which makes it really easy to obtain all items. To summarize my opinion on this is to keep the current drop rates, and increase the end game difficulty.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't apply to everyone. I'm glad to hear you got most of your weapons already but the fact you've been playing for 3 months and already have most of your weapons just corroborates my point. You were lucky. People that have been playing for years might be unlucky and have 1 weapon to show compared to your 7.

First off there is no endgame content is FFXIV, and thats due to the fact that the end level is not yet avaiable to level to yet. Now if you call ifrit, moogle and garuda endgame than theres a problem considering the fight is so short and that there is no meat to it. Even the dungons are a joke this is not end game and there wont be REAL endgame till the DEV's cap players at either 75 or 99.

So you have everything in game so far? I highly doubt you have every piece of darklight gear. I have been farming that since it came out and have yet to get every piece of darklight. Now ifrit moogle and garuda isnt too hard to get 7/7 for a total of 21/21.
