Ifrit reward system seriously needs tweaking

[Vahzl]

So wait. I'm still slightly confused. One person opens the chest, and EVERYONE gets something, and that something may or may not be a COMPLETELY RANDOM Ifrit weapon. I've got it right, right?

If I heard right, everyone gets something yes. While I do love the idea that no matter what, you get a little token for the fight, the randomness of it is a little silly.

Other alternatives could have been:

- Pick up a token which can be traded to a vendor for a selection of loot from a list
- Drops only crafting materials, which can be used to make your weapon of choice

Hi Vahzl,

Actually the OP confirmed that everyone does *not* get a Weapon for each kill. This makes this system even worse than what we thought.

No, there is no garunteed drop. Kill 34 now and two of the group have only received one item. The drop rate chance is where it should be. At the rate that they're getting items it'll take them over 200 kills before they get the weapon they want. That is ballsfucking stupid.

I hope this fix this.

^ This..they have a couple of different weapons that have to be made by getting NM drops no? Why not just go about it with Ifrit the same way. No offence, but if i WANT the damned 1 handed sword for tanking, why should i go through all that and have a lance drop in my bag?

Can only pray they add some sort of loot roll pop up box like every other MMO out there does.

Come on SE get with the frikkin times this is unacceptable.

Good lord no.

Good lord no.

So you would rather it just gets randomly dumped into someones inventory /sigh

Wow people are seriously against that, is that because WoW does it ? or do you have a valid reason for not wanting it ?

I am against your suggestion to homogenize the game into the same ilk as "all other MMos" - I play FFXIV because it's different, not because it's the same as the ones I have already played to death. If I wanted that, I would continue to play them.

While i really dont like the more mainstream way, It is better this system, but i do like they are trying as well..

I think a token or item trade system is different enough but a huge improvment..
So how about:

A point system, as you where every time you defeat Ifrit you get Flame Wards.
You can use those to Bid on the 1 sure Key item (that is traded to get a weapon for Ifrit), and everyone still gets some lesser token, and there is a 1/32 chance someone gets a Key Item token and can trade it for a weapon.

It keep Random chances, Gives a Def chance at a weapon each time, rewards hardcore players with a lot of time, but still gives casual's a good chance to get the weapon or save up for a weapon./

Lets hope so

I'm against pop up boxes as well because its very annoying, especially if its coming up for a lot of useless rubbish.

Just do an XI system, why need more or less? why complicate things, a Shared PT Loot, that is it. nothing more. nothing less.
