    Ifrit Drops - Why you do this?

    So people have defeated Ifrit by now. We all know how the loot drops work. My question is WHY did SE think this was a good idea?

    For those of you not in the know, Ifrit drops are like other stronghold drops in that the loot goes directly into your inventory instead of into your Loot List. The drops are Unique and Untradeable, so it's a true gamble on whether you'll get something you want or can even use.

    I don't understand why a system like this is even in place. I've seen threads where a primary mage has gotten two DoW drops that he can't even use. R18 Glad, R30ish MRD and he got those drops instead of a Con or Thm drop. The Con drop went to someone who isn't a primary mage class.

    I hope this gets changed soon, because it discourages a lot of people from even wanting to try Ifrit knowing they probably won't get the loot they want or can use.

    Since I know SE doesn't want people selling the Ifrit drops, they won't change the Untradeable aspect. My suggestion is to please make the drops go into a player's loot list so they can trade the drops to someone who wants it/can use it first.

    MMORPGs aren't about the drops. They're about grinding exp.

    Who cares about Ifrit loot? They should just be thankful SE gave them a reason to experience the joy of leveling those classes.

    Drop system needs to be fixed, it's just horrible in every sense of the word and shows little to no care on SE's part for even doing something so ridiculous.

    I thought you would have the ability to roll for them or something. Kinda funny how it just goes to a random person. Actually, that's kinda crazy.

    Agreed, and I was being sarcastic.

    It just makes no sense. Especially for how hard the average player has to work to even beat Ifrit. "Congratulations, young Marauder. For all your time and effort invested in besting the god of flames, we reward you with a stick. I hear thaumaturges can make use if it /guyfawkes."
