I enjoy the direction this game is going

Exaggeration and lies, you made your post useless.

Find and single post asking for epic gear with 0.5% drop rates, and i'm not talking about sarcasm or ppl exaggerating others demands (most ppl exaggerating says 1% so i think you're overexaggerating, and that's even worse)

And your rebuttal is just as useless then. They may not be asking specifically for 0.5% drop rates, but if you want to remove lockouts and loot lockouts, the time sink has to go somewhere. You gotta be careful about troll posts but when you do decide to say something, try to look at the bigger picture. I would rather take lockouts over even a 1% chance drop rate. Although I do wish my DRG was in coil during those days when it was all DRG loot lmao.

Are you trying to tell me to look at the bigger picture when you can't even read my post?

Just read my first and second post, i just want options to develop my character in open world, in other words, non instanced endgame, i never mentioned the lockouts, even if i don't like them i know why are they in the game.

I just answered to OP's post because i can't believe there's someone asking to not introduce open world content just because she likes instances and hates NMs with fictitious drop rates.

You fail to realize that if there are no lockouts, the drop rates are made ridiculously low to increase the time sink. Which is where you get the 1% drop rates on items. MANY people have posted that they do not want lockouts and would rather be able to smash face in coil with horrible drop rates. CT is a good way to look at it. No lockout, but loot lockout instead. At least in CT there is a definite drop. If you get an open world NM/Boss, the drop rates will also be horribly low because it will be spammed non stop. From what I understand, 1.XX players had loads of fun farming their darklight in Aurum Vale with these horrible drop rates. Also, have fun with RMT and their autoclaim methods. Not to mention actual players doing the same. I am in favor of open world events, NM's, Bosses, etc. Just like you. But you don't see me telling someone that their post is useless. I for one don't want SE to slap something together considering the fact they took their design direction towards instanced content. The closest thing to open world is FATEs and I am fine with this until they can figure out how to do open world in FFXIV without shining a duece. While 1.0 had this vast empty space, 2.0 feels slightly claustrophobic.

In general I agree with you, but it is easy to thwart RMT having a monopoly on NMs with rare drops. Just make them unique/untradeable.

Other than that, well said.

Again you fail to realize the OP used a tremendous exaggeration to impose her opinion, her post is useless for "cheating" not because her opinions differs with mines.

Regarding the lockouts and drop rates, it's the same thing, if the drop rates and the spawns are well balanced it will take the same time getting something from an instance or in open world, those percentages are just numbers, a 5% can be a bit scary but when you say 1 week of work instead of a 5% drop rate, then you'll realize it's exactly the same time you'll be farming tomes on instances.

I would make a thread with my own ideas to make open world work, but there are enough awesome ideas in the forum already, but of course, when a person like the OP see a thread with the label "open world" instead of reading it to see if it's good, they get in to bash the thread with negativity or poor excuses or just make another thread to expose the opposite point.

Not me.

If they keep doing dungeon only its gonna make a lot of people sick of it I already feel tired of them that direction hopefully not what they are taking with the game.

Cause after a while people are gonna think that's all this game is a dungeon exploration MMO, I have been waiting for some open world content where people can do stuff outside of dungeons hopefully it happens.

If they keep Re Hashing Dungeons it could get monotonous; the game is only 6 months old and we already have Extreme Mode Primal Fights. Will they still be considered "extreme" in 1 Year? 2? or 10?
