The chance of winning the 3 lines reward of Wondrous Tails is ridiculously low

[Genaxx]

This kind of stuff harkens back to the issue a lot of people seem to have with the game currently, if the probability is 1 out of 476, does the reward translate well with the assigned content? If the gear obtained from this is the best gear in patch wouldn't it be logical to think that by using the ops math, that by the end of the patch the gear out of this mini game will likely already be facing EoL?

For a game that renders each patch gear obsolete every 3 months, having a low probability of getting the gear will likely make this content dead on arrival, maybe I'm wrong, but I it just seems like a really bad way to get players craving that gear, especially if it's targeting old content that SE is still trying to make relevant.

I agree, it totally depends on the rewards. If they suck, allagan pieces as a reward? Really? Then its going to be doa. Judging from the screen shots, they're meh. Alot of people could spend the same amount of time, or less, crafting or making the gil to buy the gear from 3 lines.

the low probability of getting 3 lines saddens me as well, but considering the worth of the gear (which you can also sell on the MB) it feels justified

[Yukiko]

To think they can get worse than pure RNG ... SE keeps surprising me!
How the hell they think that system will ever motivate one single person to do those "weeklys"?

This guy gets it.

It's also why I have a big issue with things like the i210 anima step being so arduous to complete at first release. I was not able to finish assembling everything needed until the step was nerfed, and of course by then, i210 weapons are worthless.

With such a limited lifespan that equipment in this game has (glamours aside), they really can't afford to make any of it too tedious to obtain.

There is a high chance that there is not going to be any changes to the max item level till the next expansion. So I wouldn't be worried whether the chances of getting the goods are low. It's the way it ought to be. Besides, it's going to get nerfed anyways.

"Lets put in gear only one person on the server will be able to get (if that) . Geting it or not has nothing to do with skill or player investment. This gear also becomes obsolete in 3.5 months XD"

???

Would have been great to make this a guaranteed reward for clearing all 16 objectives (maybe even make objectives level sync only to get people to experience the old content at intended tuning) and put the whole thing on a 2 week lock out but no. Not on yoshidas watch.

bravo yoshida. bravo

And making it easy or god forbid, guaranteed, effectively destroys the market for crafting Ironworks gear or the new armor. Why buy from crafters when you could faceroll old content and get five guaranteed meld slots on ilvl 250 gear for free?

Would love to see you faceroll titan ex at level sync haha. Market would be fine with a 2 week lock out since progression raiders, oh you know the only people who buy these things in the first place, would still want to gear themselves more and purchase stuff. Now you wanna know what market this actualy will destroy?
The materia V one.
You get 2 mhachi mats for clearing just one line.

At that point SE could just release the gear as some lv 65 craft with with the 4.0 expansion while adding unique minions or even mounts to the reward list for wondrous tales.

most crafted gear will be sold in the first week
