Same GC Ifrit killers gets better reward

[Coombah]

Ok..and that's still what the complaint is. Neizero wants to know what the reward is because I'm sure if it's just extra gil, DM, or just a few more GC Seals, then it's not a big deal. However, if they have a higher chance of getting drops because they are all Ul'dahn, then that is a big problem.

I really does and now it has me rethinking my grand company.. :/

Read before u jump to conclusion dude. if 8 ppl from the same company kill ifirit u get greater reward than if 5 from uldah and 3 from LL join together and kill it. its that simple

I understand exactly how to qualify for the better reward, what I want to know is WHAT IS that better reward, if it's just more gil or Dark matter like has been suggested in this thread, then that means I can choose any GC I want. If however the greater reward means better drop rate for weapons or maybe even exclusive drops, then I am forced to pick the same GC as my team mates.

I always found this very odd, would be a very bad design choice imo, this will split up LS groups who want to get the full rewards ("sorry you're from LL gc so you can't join our Grid Ifrit PT").

Another thing I dislike about the Ifrit battle is that you must first roflstomp the rank 25 one to access the rank 45 one?

Please SE allow us to skip the easymode, some of us realy prefer the challenge, and being forced to kill Ifrit while outleveling the encounter is going to take away the feeling of finaly getting that b**tard down at the proper difficulty.

This late 80s game design fashion coming from developers like Capcom, games such as Ghouls and Ghosts (a design which WoW uses for its raids) just needs to finaly die.
I shouldn't have to beat the game/encounter on easy to get on to the real thing...

I agree some clarification is required BEFORE patch 1.19. I wholeheartedly want to join Gridania GC because of the elemental story and i'm a conjurer (it is my home ). But gear progression is important to me. In the last 2 weeks i've been able to get in 1 Darkhold group and that was it. Imagine dividing that by 3 and trying to get a group now. If the uber loot is attached to GC tag team, I will be forced to join ul'dah or LL depending on what my the majority of my LS or server chooses.

/agree with this post. This serves to perpetuate the whole "everyone head to Ul'Dah!" issue they've had this whole time. Very poor choice SE... very, very poor. Provided the "greater reward" is meaningful. Like stated before, if it comes down to junk items/gil, it'll be fine. If you're required to do this to obtain the weapons shown in the video, then we have a problem.

@ OP. Please revise thread to put [dev1080] for the devs. Might get noticed quicker imo. I think thread titles can be edited.

This is a major issue, I can see many players choosing the GC they don't want just to facilitate grouping for the best rewards. Please find out quickly what exactly is affected with the drops. BEFORE 1.19 hits if possible!

If its just gil and materia I can handle that but gear drops is going to cause major problems in many linkshells.
