This is just wrong

[Selli]

I have all of the WoD sets and it took me a hell of a lot of grinding to get them all. orz They all look so pretty, it was too hard to resist getting them for glamour sake (when they're no longer the highest ilevel I have for my other classes, anyway). D:

The one day I did not go on my BRD and was at that breaking point - let me go on mnk. I said. RNGesus dropped BRD body.
I cried a bit but for my FC's member last pony drop for ramu. It took 3 solid days.
Ramu would not drop a single pony, for him. LOL

The WoD drops whatever is least needed based on the party. That is my theory anyhow. I always get NIN drops when we're full of casters, bards, or dragoons. I always get Dragoon drops when there's a ninja in there but no dragoon. And bard ONLY drops if we're all casters. Tank drops are the rarest from the runs I've done, and until recently, my first run was the only one I saw any DPS caster drops. So again, my guess is that it's secretly the RNG spiting whoever is in the party by dropping what they least need. It knows you're going to keep running it. It KNOWS......

Ran 1 full week of WOD for BLM loot and all it dropped is for MNK. Gave up. Queued as MNK and BLM loot magically appears. I love this game.

I think I gave up on WoD ... sometime in its second week of existence? Or maybe third? Because back then I still went in there quite a few times (that caster skirt was tempting me)... But just no. To this day (and since then I'm running it twice weekly for the quest with both my chars), I don't think I'd need more than my two hands to count how many DoM drops I've even seen. It's mostly NIN gear - one week I saw 4 NIN pieces out of the 8 drops in the two runs. Just yesterday, for the first time, I saw the healer hat drop...would've been a nice upgrade for my i106 WHM legacy, but no, the other healer (donning some Dreadwyrm pieces) had to snatch it up (and then put it on and hide it too).

Just...no. No, thank you. Not going there any more than I have to. Never even mind the loot, I've just grown to hate the whole place, don't feel the atmosphere of it at all, and pretty much hate not only the bosses (them being incredible HP sponges AND the mechanics as well), but for the first time ever the trash mobs as well. Eugh.

Do you know how long it took me to get 3 upgrades in WoD? One run for this bard.

Heh, my bard got completely geared in 2 runs.

My whm.... I gave up after run 40 (no joke) and just bought poetics gear

Murphy's law for MMO: In order to get a drop, you must first prove you don't need it.


In every MMO it is easier to get not wanted rare items than wanted rare items.

I think this is also part of a greater problem, SE made the bosses very stingy with their loot drop. One item for 8 people? I mean really? It should be 2-3 items per party at least.

Pretty much this. The issue is the fact the each boss drops only 1 loot for 8 people. The amount of gear in one chest and giving only 1 is just plain stupid in my opinion and can turn people off from trying to get the loot. As someone said 2 or 3 would be way better.
