Raid loot is ridiculous

[Lunaxia]

The raid token system has to be the most mind-numbing, tedious, badly put together idea I have ever seen in a game.

Farming the same instance (or two, or three if you're incredibly unlucky) over and over and over and over, watching the dice roll 8, 12, 20, 6, 92! (haha nerd, someone rolled 97), joining the long queues, dragging along the inevitable bad players who get their first time clear after dying six times and walking out with the loot you're after. It's even worse as a healer - running yourself ragged keeping the party together when two or five people inevitably forget about vacuum wave, or don't move during Blizzard, or get turned into frogs everytime, effectively carrying lazy/ terrible players through while you're stuck playing nanny for another few hours. How is it fair that someone can finish their weeklies in an hour or two, and someone else is still playing to reset day? How do people with heavy schedules even manage?

It's not even a question of "this isn't fun", it's "this is soul-destroying." It wouldn't be so bad if there were some kind of guarantee that you'd get something after how ever many runs; at least you know it wasn't entirely in vain, instead of this ridiculous up-for-grabs rubbish that punishes the good and rewards the bad. It was implemented for mounts, which are purely cosmetic, why not raids?

tl;dr grump complains RNG in raid loot is stupid

I don't understand how people have the nerve to complain about the current system, which is allready a huge step into "easy peasy" from the original way raid loot worked.

Form a good farm party with friends and/or players (farm parties from party finder are a joke, always someone jump ship) from your FC, in theory, you only need two clears per turn and everyone will get loot.

I prefer being able to rerun until I get the item I wanted over Blizzard's loot system of deciding for you if the boss will give you any loot this week...and then deciding which piece of loot you get, if any...and then deciding whether or not it's going to roll enough of an increase in item level to be an upgrade for you or not.

RNG may make you take a few tries to get your item (and I remember having to run A9 12 times in one week to get a bolt), but at least if you're persistent you'll get what you wanted.

I see it in PF now and then but its a good idea. If you need stuff from a certain turn, make a PF for those who have cleared and set the expectation to run it 4 times, by that time everyone should have the desired piece needed then you move on to the next one if need be. If it works out well, friend invite and meet up next week to do it again.

Find something else to do, its already so very easy to get everything, complaining as you are only makes it worse and more easy for everyone. Bring back the days of 2 to 5 years of saving up 10,000 items (FFXI relic) just to get a weapon please.

I don't really mind running the same floor several time for my drop, however it's kinda sad you're almost capped tome wise in one day because of that. They really need to stop with the 450 cap.
