47 runs and counting....

The best option is to allow drops to be randomly dispersed among all chests and not certain drops for certain bosses.

Do you really think having a 1/36 drop rate on what you want is a better solution?

Yes. Having a token system is just handing gear to players ala Darklight and myth. Some things just need to be random in my opinion. I can honestly say that if it was required of me to complete a full CT run every time to get a token to buy CT gear, I would just go back to doing AK speedruns and skip CT gear altogether. Not to mention nobody would JIP anymore , so if you lose a player to griefing or whatnot, good luck finding a replacement.

If you made it so the final boss drops the token, then I would only do JIP.

If you made every boss drop a token, I would still only JIP 2/4 rather than subject myself to early CT fails.

This really is a no-win situation, frankly any change to the way loot drops is going to have ppl complaining. But giving tokens for everything in this game is crossing a line, and we all know SE baby feeds us most of the content already as it is.

That's two entire days, not including sleep.. at least.

I've seen the BLM body a fair few times. A couple of my Free Company members have it. You have seriously bad luck, but hang in there.

So this week I decided to tackle my blm body from crystal tower and oh boy did I not know what I got myself into.... im at 47 runs this week and ive seen every drop but blm and whm body. this is beyond ridiculous.... all I see is mnk mnk mnk tank tank tank then the occasional drg. not to mention the horrible parties that you have to endure. and this has to be a drop rate problem because its the end of the week and all im seeing is blms as dds and pretty much nothing else or a blm sets up a pt and locks out blm and smn in the other dd spots. anyone else noticing this?

the 3rd boss drops 10 items. So, WHM chest alone, 1/10 chance to drop.

(9/10)^47 = .7% chance

So, seems pretty unlikely that is true

40+ runs have not seen the healer boots drop once in CT.

Yeah, probability is low, but it does happen.

Or try this one on for size. 98% chance of success to gather an item, 12+ fails in a row. It happens, the odds are absolutely astronomical that it will, but it does, and frequently.

people are also known to exaggerate their sorrows.

Sure, people do that all the time, in this case though, it's not any of us exaggerating, this is actually happening.

You might not be having these things happen, but do not misconstrue it as no one having it. Yes they are low probability events, but low probability does not mean it will not happen.

Random number generator is (due to computer limitations)pseudo-random.


I swear if I have to link this strip one more time i'm going to stab myself.

Took me 2 weeks to get the BLM body, close to 100 runs if not more before I saw it, lol. Then 2 dropped in a row after I got mine, hand in there it does exist!

[Feilina]

I have made myself an easy solution on that.

I don't count at all!

47 times in one week... holy cow
