Inferno Totem drop rate

[Murugan]

lol.

And I'm shocked to hear about the low drop rate on the totem. I thought it would be a 100% drop, and take maybe 40 of them to trade in or something.

It only takes 10 and multiple totems can drop at once.

The problem remains that while you can pass totems now, you still can't pass weapons. It is a stupid system they only barely addressed the problem, they need to give us the ability to pass weapons. It has always been that way, they should have never changed it.

Give us back a REAL LOOT LIST with messages in the logs, and weapons able to be passed to people.

It is not hard. The old team did it, this team did it in darkhold. Your experiment in "personal loot lists" failed, admit it and give us back control over our loot. This is an absolute staple of MMO's and as you work to get FFXIV "up to snuff" in comparison with other major MMO's on the market this is one area where you took two giant steps backwards.

Well said Murugan. Totally agreed.

Despite me loving most of this Patch 1.20's improvements, your point was my #1 problem that I hope they fix. Original post here:

I really hope they fix this soon.

1/31 on Ifrit Weapons
8/31 on Totems

Oh well. Ifrit is easy as all hell. It should be a low drop rate. ^^

First you people whine that items are too easy to get, and not as "rewarding" as XI, and when they give you the gear grind you want you whine even harder. Is there anything you people won't whine about?

People don't care about a Grind. We just want real loot lists, this personal crap is just that crap.

This is nothing like FFXI was, it is completely backwards to how endgame encounters in MMO's have been designed for over a decade. GROUPS deserve control over their loot, and people need to be able to pass loot to others in the party when they don't need it and especially when they already have it.

Got my 9th cane drop since fighting Ifrit. Who says there isn't a problem?

I agree. I think SE is not thinking about casual players in this situation. They invite people to continue to support the game, telling them that the actual content will only last till the 2.0 version, so we need to do this content now. But for a casual player it will be impossible to get any drop in ifrit or moogle, so it is pointless that they even try these battle. Ifrit and moogle content seem to be made just for hardcore players that are willing to kill ifrit 1000 times even when they might only get 2 or 3 weapons if they are lucky. I think SE should make totems 100% drop rate for every person. It is already difficult to find the perfect party to kill them and when you do, you should get something (and not DM).

I don't think those two fights are for casuals. If they make them more casual what is in the game for the more hardcore among us? I've only tried Moogle fight a couple times and no wins, but as a more casual player (lately anyway) I do not feel cheated out of anything.

That said, we still need more content for players of every type...

I don't think the idea is bad at all- but Would you be playing if it was 100% drop?? after the update?? I mean come on- if it was 100% drop... you'd quit this game 1 week after you get all your ifrit weapons... w T do you want to do after you get all your ifrit weapon? nothing???
