On average, a player would have to do 100 CT runs to get just an unidentified allagan tombstone? It doesn't seem right. Just like how ridiculous the drop rate for mirrors are considering i100 weapons are almost too common now.
    Your contempt at your own conjecture is amusing.
    Maybe they should just give it to everyone upon entry and we can act like SCoB never existed.
    They add a chance for a high level upgrade and you act like it should be automatic for everyone to receive.

    That's about 50 hours of CT assuming no wipes and each run only takes 30 minutes just for a UAT. I downed T7 after like 5 hours of trying so there's a huge discrepancy in the time spent/reward ratio there.

    But not everyone can down T7, while almost everyone will be able to clear ST.

    This is just an alternative, SCoB remains as the main way to get those special items.

    It does give people a reason to do ST after they get their weekly piece of loot however, which I'm pretty sure is the point of it since the loot restriction does not apply to that chest.
