    Coil in general is ridiculous, out of the 4 groups in our guild, we consistently get 50% drg drops. Turn 1 has been 2 drg drops for the most part. It's like a big middle finger from SE, "Here's gear for the class you never bring". Tank gear being the worst, which is what we desperately need for turn 5.

    From what i've heard from other guilds and forums, this is pretty common, I'm pretty sure it's done on purpose to slow down progress.. otherwise when they release CT, everyone will be in full ilvl90 and CT will be the alt run. Which already looks like the case.

    Can confirm after 7 or 8 weeks of my group doing it that loot is not split evenly between chests in atleast turn 1. There does not need to be 4 possible pieces in one chest while the other has 13, this is not random when it has been this way for every group that has commented on it for weeks.

    We have seen the same caster ring every single run except for twice now where we have gotten a dragoon belt and then aiming bracers the other 2 weeks.

    I have forgotten how to roll "need" in coil because I haven't seen a tank piece drop in over a month of farming 1-4.

    Truthfully, what other reason is there to log on? If we get most of what we want from Coils, chances are that people will log on less and less and have little reason to keep subbing.

    No one is asking for loot to be handed out though, all people are saying is fix the chests so the 17 pieces are split evenly between the chests or even just flat out make the chests random. Having only 4 pieces in one chest and 13 in another is going to mean one chest will always have items you do not want once your group has seen each of them multiple times because it's the same 4 pieces.

    Hmmm, not sure where you got this loot list but it looks off to me.

    Yesterdays drops in my group for turn 1 where the Heavy Armour and the Allagan Striking Trousers, according to your list that's not possible.

    Pretty sure this isn't the only situation in which loot distribution is skewed.

    Greetings,

    Thanks for bringing up this concern. While the actual drop rates are a bit different compared to what was posted, we have indeed confirmed an issue that resulted in the items not being evenly distributed between the two chests and we will be addressing this in a hot fix next week.
