Vote for 100% drop rate for primals on final week of FFXIV 1.xxx

[Gerrr]

Did the OP have bad luck on the drops or something? This is such a bad idea.

2.0 should come with new.. primal weapon.. so i think.. it ok lol" coz.. 2.0 u still need farm this hell new weapon again.. so just give someone collection it ok lol"
btw i got all ifrit weapon.. and throw all to... GC point already coz it junk.. mog.. ok but.. still lower then double melt. only garuda now that still ok in event..

Stupidity of the OP's initial post aside, I think something needs to be done about primal drops. We still have no confirmation that they will continue to be obtainable in 2.0, so either an increase in drop rate, a list of discontinued items, or even a freakin' nod from a developer about the issue would be helpful.

The drop rate on Ifrit and Moogle is pretty terrible, though. I shouldn't be going 0/15 on a weapon and then finally get a drop only to have it be one I already have sitting in a retainer. Not to mention most pickup groups last about 3 runs before breaking— if they even win the fight to begin with.

i don't mind if its for the last SEVEN days.(7 being a lucky number)

I think four and seven is an unlucky number in Japan because the word for Four (Shi) and seven (Shichi) is reminiscent of Death (Shi). Four and Seven are now being taught as Yon and Nana respectively.

I find this relevant considering the developer, so maybe more days of primal drops?

No... Atomos kinda **** on a lot of people's effort already. I'd definitely say yes to everyone getting a totem (Or whatever item depending on the fight) 100% of the time.

[Shougun]

heck noooo i worked for months to get those weps.... id rage quit if you could suddenly get them in a day..

I like how people say this about untradeable unsellable weapons but when they talk about getting millions of gil doing nothing (Atomos) there is a big debate on how it wasnt abusing the system*.

(And also the OP said its the last week, nothing saves then lol)

* Obviously not to make another Atomos event they would need to change sell price to GC for seals when they modify drop rates.

Sir, excuse me sir. You left your brain back there at the counter. The last week of this game has absolutley NO SAVING, clearly this is why OP asks this.. because maybe they want to play with it, no harm can be done, as once they log out.. poof goes the item or anything they made off the item... if anything can be called stupid it would be your idea to actually increase rates for your high end hard to get gear so you can actually KEEP them when ARR comes..

Bacon pancakes?

I wouldn't mind if they changed it AFTER Nov. 1st since nothing will be saved. So if people wanted to tinker around with 100% drop rates for those 10 days or so then that's fine.

I was actually thinking of something along the lines of SE implementing a 'special' hotfix before the last week to adjust primal drop rates. To be honest I voted yes and I did so for a reason.

It'd be the final week for this version of the game, so having a lot of people come on and play would be a great send off.

Although it'd be great to have all Primal weapons, I do think that there' be some negatives, most of those have been explained already though. So I'd be in favor of an gradual increase in drop rates leading up to the final week rather than just a flat 100% drop rate.
