Raid loot is ridiculous

[Tristann]

You're just being punished for being lazy to socialize and RNGesus doesn't like lazy people. That is all. We never had to run any Omega Normal more than 8 times.

dont worry everyone has been there with lucky moments of RNG that screw your day

I remember when video games were about having fun with the game itself.

You don't need that gear to do anything, by the time it could actually be useful there will already be new sets of even better gear.
I've always looked at raid gear as a nice bonus for raiders rather than what you're actually raiding for.
Yes we all want the best gear but if that's the only reason you're raiding then honestly I think you're doing it for the wrong reason.

I've ran Omega 3 fight today for 10 times already, and still haven't been able to obtain item from there.. and who knows how many more I need to before I get it..

This system is horrible and needs some changes.

So they made something that lasted a day then? kinda weird since it takes 4 weeks to get a body.

I don't bother doing it over and over anymore the gear itself is boring, if I get a piece great if not oh well not worth it me to keep repeating. /Shrugs

I wonder how many really understand that. I doono, i just think dangling a reward based on rng is basically admitting you can't give quality content.

A harsh way to put it, but definitely a true one.

One might say they did do a good try with the 24-man raids, AKA taking-longer-to-finish and lasting-longer-in-general, content! (Until the drops get worthless because of short new savage runs that is.)

It almost seems like they are afraid of making longer raids for 'savage' runs (be it 4/8/24 people). It's always this run-in / run-out thing, might be a thing most savage raiders need? Really weird.

Tldr: get a static, OP.

I don't have any problem with Omega normal's loot system, although I would like for legs/chest pieces to cost 2 items instead of 4. That said, I'm not up in arms about it since verity gear is enough to get me into the majority of non-Omega Savage farming groups. Verity gear is also the only way to quickly gear up multiple jobs/roles, and since I don't have a single main job, I just "Need" everything and take what I can get.

The only gripes I have about this game's Omega/capped creation tomestone loot system is that everything is designed so that you can fully gear up ONLY one main job/role and one main. If you play all combat roles equally like I do, you're going to be stuck with either splitting gear amongst your preferred classes or having to pick one to focus gearing up. This one of the reasons why I don't do Savage. I upgrade my gear very slowly since my usage of the Omega Normal items is split between DRK, RDM/BLM and AST. Besides, even the best gear will be obsolete sooner rather than later.
