1% drop rates... a thought expriment.

Nice way to prove my point

uhh ... what?

and tokens for what ? a single mirror ?

Isn't that obvious? 30% drop rate on tokens and you need 30 of them is a better way to handle this than putting a single item on a 1% drop rate. Or adjust for whatever. Even that's too low for my tastes, but it's a better way of handling things if you really want them to take a while and still have some random factor to it.

Hell, I think the weapon drop rates are too random. I'd much prefer if they split it into tank/dps/healer tokens with a 25%/50%/25% drop rate (to reflect group makeup). Especially when they add new jobs. It's going to get worse.

if it's for alts classes you don't *need* the mirror. If it's for your main class, you have faster ways to improve your dps than a glow on a secondary weapon.
Also, yoshida already stated that the players were underestimating the real drop rates. Drama everyday.

... once again it's all but needed. It's a sub-par weapon in 2.2 patch to begin with. There is no need to get it. Ramuh weapons will be rare too. Will you complain again about an additional loot (Ramuh's loot being accessories) ? Because you know, mirrors are additional loots. Devs were never obliged to put them in the game

Yup, all of that is garbage, lazy design that's outdated by 10 years.
