Inferno Totem drop rate

[OMEGA_HACK]

So then would we rather prefer a system where you get 1 weapon 100% with a 50% chance to drop a 2nd weapon that each person could lot on (mind you the weapons would be randomized on what would drop)

or

keep the current personal loot?

Because those would be our options, more than likely.

You realize that there isn't even close to a 100% drop for the entire party right now right?

We have gone dozens of Ifrit's and Moogle fights without anyone receiving a weapon.

But yes I wouldn't care if they severely nerfed the drop rate, they need to give us back a real loot system.

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?

Yes I won't whine when I have to spend weeks to figure out a fight that is close to impossible to beat (there is no such content at the moment) and when I finally do my effort is rewarded, not "maybe" rewarded.

Nerfing drop rates is just an excuse for not delivering challenging content. They can't make it harder to beat, so they make you do it more times. It gets boring fast.

I would though, if they nerf the drop rate anymore there is no point in doing these things, there barely is now.

Maybe it's time SE updated that notice before you select your character to better reflect the current FFXIV? Here's a suggestion.

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.

Getting same gear over n over n over n over n over again and you cant pass to someone else need it is really piss off.

this whole drop rate problem is nothing new, XI fighting tiamat for 6-8 hours only to get a fire crystal. took 30 people to take it down. oh yeah sooooo rewarding.

[AdvancedWind]

Wow.

I always say I'm against fruitless long timesinks, but you want a 70-100% drop rate for totems, plus a chance to grab the weapon? Really?

Heck, Ifrit might as well not bother attacking and give you all the weapons if you /bow to him.

Sure, go ahead and ramp up the drop rate a bit, but anything over 20% is overkill.

Also, protip: Totems are best used by giving all of them to a single party member needing a specific weapon.

yeah but the gaiters weren't a rare ex item that only randomly dropped directly into your inventory. also 6-8 hours, 30 people? you were doing it wrong.

Just out of curiosity, how many hours would you estimate you have spent fighting Ifrit? I don't know about you, but somewhere around 200 hours I began wondering if there weren't better things I could do with my life.
