Alexander loot systems sucks :/

[Cirgellon]

Did I say do only 10 runs and you're maxed ilvl190? Nope didn't think so. I said 4-8 tokens per piece of gear. That's 44-88 runs, not 10..... And my MMO history is FFXI for 10 years, where they did stuff right 90% of the time, unlike XIV where they get it right 40% of the time.

You didn't just say 4 tokens per piece...

So you play a video game that you think is bad 60% of the time? lol... That must be some life.

First, the 40% that they did get right, is what keeps me playing this game. Second what are you on about? "You didn't just say 4 tokens per piece..." I said

Then if you don't receive gear, you get a consolation prize A TOKEN!, then you get like 4-8 tokens to redeem for a piece of gear.

4-8 tokens for a piece of gear? Accessories like 4 tokens, head/hands/feet like 6 tokens, chest/legs like 8 tokens. It should have been we get gear or a token and locked out from loot, but still able to participate. Not hard to get, that's 4 tokens a week or 4 pieces of gear (if you got time and luck).

Like the OP pretty much said, If you got a static you're solid and shouldn't have anything to worry about. But those of us who don't have time for statics are left to use DF/PF. The new loot system sucks plain and simple.

New loot system is garbage! Should have been, Two chest pop after defeating a boss with two pieces of whole gear. Then if you don't receive gear you get a consolation prize A TOKEN!, then you get like 4-8 tokens to redeem for a piece of gear.

This new token system does indeed suck. It rewards statics more than people who use DF/PF. Also I just beat F1 in DF, It ain't so bad. Cause you know the people in PF, once they get theirs, they're going to leave.

If you run it in DF, you 100% know the drop is going to go to a random person you'll never see again, and you start over with all 8 of you fighting over the one drop the next time you queue. If you go into a PF party, you at least have a chance that some people will stick around and make it easier for you to get your token for the week. There's a chance you'll get lucky and find a party willing to stick together till everyone has one. *shrug* If it's easy enough to be beaten in DF within hours of implementation, clears shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of people. They basically just put you on a loot treadmill instead of handing you a loot piñata.

The new system is way better than WoD had.

So basically instead of slowly earning currency (tomestone gear) or a potential at instant gratification (actual loot drop), what they've done as far as the Alexander loot system goes is a potential at slowly earning currency.....

Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!!

[Hakuohsama]

Just run 4 times with your static / raid and everyone has a token.

I like it.

[Kazrah]

You still get gear for tomes...

-Lesser- gear for tomes, at least for the next two weeks.

You mean it's exactly how it was at the previous cap?

Not as big a gap as then. I think the claim was that esoteric gear would be i200 and Alexander savage gear being i205, which was the same gap between upgraded poetics and dreadwyrm gear (I think).
