Heavy RNG-based loot system must be changed.

[keroo]

No matter how effort you grind for your desired loot. If you're not blessed with good RNG, you'll end up frustrated eventually. Imagine grinding T13 with "pug" parties who clear 2/7 then the loot you wanted isn't showing up.

I suggest there must be a number of "coins" or "tokens" system that can be traded with your desired loot. Some people going up empty-handed most of the time because of this hefty RNG-based system.

Some working people doesn't tend to "grind" hours of doing it.

Please hear my suggestion Square-Enix Team. I would be glad if you do so. This is a customer's suggestion.

I could be wrong, but i think i've heard the new raid content for 3.0 is going to be said token system.

Sadly only the new "Trials" will, not the "Raids".

90+ farm runs of T10 and the lock-out runs prior to it and no aiming sash. GG. Meanwhile I have all the Dreadwyrm gear for my secondary class, NIN. RNG is a bitch.

So hooray for 3 months or so not getting any gear at all

Good Luck with that, every MMO or roleplaying game in general, from loot drops to auto attack, is based off of RNG. e.g whether a hit lands or misses is a RNG, modified by your accuracy stat, hence why there are "soft caps" of accuracy where your modifier negates the low end of the RNG, making it impossible to miss. D&D, Everquest, Warcraft, FFXI, and now FFXIV all follow this formula, hell even the pen and paper rpgs did. Though I agree it's not perfect, it's like they say about democracy; it's the best system we have so far.

They are changing things because of enough whining. You can have it now instead of work for it. You will then have nothing to do and will whine about the lack of content then leave. Seriously where is the sense of achievement in dungeons that drop no loot? Granted the ones that do now should be dropping much more but a token system is so boring.

I guess this ffxivs version of ffxi complaints. At least at don't need to camp HNM for the current Bis gear. Afk during windows, oh I do miss those dragon aery spike flail MPK days. Lol

Is this supposed to be a joke? Literally the only purpose of dungeon drops is desynth and glamour, and who is talking about dungeons anyway? If you read the OP you'll notice he's speaking of raids.
Nobody needs a token system for worthless dungeon loot, but for the raids, where everyone is supposed to pull their weight and, with the current system, only few are rewarded, chosen by nothing but random luck, a token system would be a lot better and fairer. Just like Shiva Extreme's upgrade pieces, 1 guaranteed per kill.
Too often have I seen the worst people of the group walk away with the drops, leaving those who actually dragged them through the content entirely unrewarded. A token system would fix that.
