Yes its annoying yes it sucks I've lost rolls on things I could have used but its universally fair based off chance.
This though every fresh first timer with minimal gear can walk in and automatically get an item the over-geared player up to this point has been tirelessly farming for?
I happen to have my zenith weapon but have been doing moogle fights for a SMN book (along with titan HM) but i guess the countless hours I've put in don't matter anyways because I've continued to progress and improve my character?
but lets say they did now i queue up for GKM notice the other SMN is equipped with say just a GC weapon, I think well if it drops he wins automatically so >>open duty finder >>> leave.
