It is a 30% drop rate. Nothing to fix, it was meant to be a grind to get all the weapons. I got them all in a week and my neice is working on her 10th and she only does it a few hours a day.

I mean I can see why some people will express their unhappiness. Not everyone has the ability to invest "few hours a day", especially if they work long hours. Aside from that there are things to cap, beast tribe to do,etc. While I'm neutral about this I can also see why people get burnt out by RNG & the monotony.
Yeah, this event is made even more of a pain in the butt if you don't have a group of friends to do it with. Every time I party up with folks on party finder they either get done with that area much much earlier before I do or the group just slowly dies out.
That's the position I'm in for sure and it's why I made the thread =\ Like I wish there was something to be done to make it just a bit less of a pain in the butt. There's obviously options to make this event less of a pain and there's obviously an issue to a good bit of players I'm sure(Not necessarily something "broken" just badly designed imho).I mean I can see why some people will express their unhappiness.

um... how many hours you play in that week? sure doesn't feel like 30% drop rate after doing 20 fates and got nothing.
I am going to unsub this BS game if the weapons and mount go up for sales after the event is over.




I've gotten all the weapons. There were times I'd slog through no drops but on the end, 30% sounds fairly accurate.

You must be really unlucky, or do something wrong - I have done few fates without the minion... can't summon during the battle Q_Q
I agree with the 30%. Still it should have been better imho. It seems like they couldn't decide if drop chance or increased prices are better and so used both. Unfortunately the dev responsible for setting up NPC for the regular medals that could habe been used to buy the legendary ones must have been on their vacation or something.
But I hope they do not touch it. After this BS it would be a really evil thing to do to all the players who suffered through this painful event. They might need to increase the duration tho - as it takes a lot of hours to complete.
The main reason why the Party Finder is not working for the harder content and so many groups disband after few wipes is caused by the players who ignore the comments.
Getting to the phase XYZ once does not mean you are ready to join parties to do XYZ.
Parties should spend most of the time doing the phase that is written in the comment not trying to get there.
Took me 720 fates to get all the weapons. There is another thread were people are posting and it is an average of 800 fates to get all the weapons.
There's so much they could do to make this event even a little bit less of a pain. I don't get why you'd wish others to have to deal with it as is though =\You must be really unlucky, or do something wrong - I have done few fates without the minion... can't summon during the battle Q_Q

See my thread about equalizing the heights for men and women of each race! http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/253435-A-suggestion-regarding-height.



The rules were set certain way - you need to do about xx fates to finish the event - and so it should not be changed during the middle of it. That's fair.
Imagine that they would have said: 1) The drop rare will be 33% during the start of the event, 66% during the mid and 100% during the end of the event.
Many players would have ignored it until the last stage, because they just want to complete it.
Tbh. Were this event without the time limit I would have not touched it at all. The main reason I am doing it is because once it's gone it's gone. But as I said the duration is too short in comparison to the required hours of grind, so they should just make it last till the Christmas or something.
