FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[darkstarpoet1]

One piece of Darklight 1000 tokens or ~ 400 runs. Boom its rare and its a pain but its not random. (Having never done a Darklight run maybe the cost would be more or less)

now this part i do agree with. i've ran the content so i can say i think the 1000 tokens is way too much considering there's 15 total pieces of darklight. saying that'd be around 400 runs per piece you are looking at over 6000 runs to get the full set, but i do agree with you on the basic idea that i wouldn't have minded the low token downgraded version of the gear and a high token cost on the higher version of the gear.

i don't mind people knowing that if they ran the dungeon 200 times they could get the piece they want most or that they could run it 20 times and get the downgraded version. it would give each individual player a choice on whether they want to put the time into going after the upgrade or downgrade, but i feel the downgraded version should have 50% of all stats that the higher tier has.

the only other thing i've seen mentioned was drop rates on the gear as well. if they raised the drop rates to 5-10% tops i would support that change, but anything higher along with the token system is just crazy.

i just don't have the mentality that people should get gear easily, but i can see where someone that's willing to put in the effort and run it over and over shouldn't have to rely COMPLETELY on the rng. at least if tokens could purchase the high level gear they could see progress towards the one piece of gear they were after even if they see they need 200 runs to get it. they could at least say "well i know i will get this piece at least in another x number of runs"

I think thats exacty what people want. myself included.
