Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[SendohJin]

Welp, I'm not posting in this thread any more. I should have listened earlier TeaTimeBear.

you're not posting any more because you don't understand that 5% drop rate on any single FATE is basically the same as 100% reward after 20 FATEs?

This claim is a classic case of Gambler's Fallacy.

I did more than 100. Where are my drops?

I vowed to never complain on the forums, but here we go.

I am usually a very patient person. Heck, when I was on Leviathan before 2.1 I grinded fates all day to level my second class. My main issue is the drop rate. I did this for hours without a single drop. Another FC mate did it for the entire day without a single drop.

What I may be okay with is if we could do a lower level class and still get the drops. this way, I can level and do something semi-productive while farming these fates for the drops. Instead, you have a bunch of glowy level 50s going crazy and cringing each time they level sync down to 7 and not get anything but 20 gil and more frustration.

Or.. raise the drop rate like they raised the spawn rate for CT fates. I am glad that it is semi challenging, but almost impossible isn't very much fun.

On the bright side, at least the REALM was reborned once; it can happen again!

Also, .01% is too casual.. should be -.01% to make it a real challenge.

The fact s that there are many things to do, so you waste your time grinding fates instead of farming dungeons for your weekly CAP, or instead of doing the new coil, and the other contents. Why? For Boring fates ? There si nothing fun, its just a Matter of luck. So you risk to be blocked for weeks in the quest even if you do fates everyday for hours.

At the risk of invoking he-who-shall-not-be-named, I think the posters in this thread need a little balance.

After a single, solitary day, everyone and their grandmother are complaining about how utterly impossible, time-consuming, and punishing the relic quest is. o_O Goodness people, you act as though you all have somewhere to be, while posting on an MMO forum.

It was meant to be a grind. Some players wanted grinds for a continually upgradeable, perpetually useful weapon, and they got it. Quit complaining, and set to work on something else if it doesn't suit your fancy.

I mean, really, at a certain point, the bellyaching must come to an end.
