This is just wrong

[Natsuki]

i've been farming for the WOD tank chest since WOD came out and it finaly dropped last week ! well i've seen it drop before but those were the times i was sick of tanking it and then it drops the tank chest ! and ofcourse the tank needs it lol, and dont get me started on the T9 tank body... that one is lie

I have two classes farming for gear in WoD. The dragoon has the pants, belt and boots, the bard has hat, gloves, and boots. This is in FOUR months of running the bloody place 10 times a day, that is 1200 runs. Most of the time the stuff for the opposite class drops and I get out-greeded.

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.

[FoxyAreku]

It's funny because I know several bards who took like 20 or more runs to get the bard chest when it first came out.

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.

To this day I've yet to see MNK chest, but I got all of my BLM stuff in 2-3 runs a week. Happens.

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.

This has already been discussed through and through. Some people may do the content for weeks, while another may get his drops in a single run. It rewards nothing at all. It's just random.

We're supposed to be getting a new raid and primal loot system. I hope we're gonna see a token+loot system for raids.
