Primal Drop System, Totem/Nut Charm and Taper/Keystone: Infos about it?

[Enma]

Hello everyone,
With the upcoming Patch 1.21 a lot of new features will be implemented and, since there is no Official Patch Notes yet, I'd like to ask to Dev Team if there will be some updates for Primal Drop System.
It's been said that the Dev Team was thinking about changing it, making a 100% Drop for Totem/Nut Charm but less in number or something like that. But since then, no news have been released, and now with 1.21 imminent I'm curious to know infos about this.

On the other hand I'd like to mark the uselessness of Tapers/Keystones.
- If you win the fight you have to wait 15 mins
- In this time you can easily collect 10 Tapers/Keystones
Well, I can understand that this can be a method to spend time between a fight and the next one, but it's a loss of time. From my point of view there are three possible solutions:

1. Wait 15 mins without the need of Tapers/Keystones (To collect all 7 weapons you have to win over 100+ times = 1000+ Keystones!)
2. Remove 15 mins wait, and keep the Tapers/Keystones system. In this way people that have for example 20 Keystones can immediatly re-enter the BC
3. Adjust drop rate/drop system. (No duplicates, Key Items instead of Weapons to trade with Rowena, ecc.)

There is no improvement do to. All your totems are belong to me.

I would like them to fix it as well these drop rates make me sic after 100+ wins no ifrit claws just 5 thm weps and a bow.... and my arc isn't no where near 50 lol.

Also the drop system Yoshi was talking about doing was just as bad as the current one.

Which one the 100% drop rate on totems/nuts ?

That sounds pretty good to me.

I disapprove of making totems/nuts tradeable that is just asking for trouble both with RMT and greedy players in general. (In this case anyone could PL to 50 go buy some gil and then buy the Ifrit weapon without ever fighting Ifrit)

Personally I would remove all weapons/armor from Primals and Dungeons, incorporate a 100% drop rate on tokens and sell gear/weapons via an NPC. (both WoW and FFXI have this kind of system for some of its loot)

You could have the vendors upstairs in the grand company.

No the one about having only 1 totem per group is kinda dumb when you gotta use your tapers for entry to fight

Wow yea that's dumb, people would be falling out on who deserves it.

[Volsung]

by the time I had 9 totems and was waiting on my last one to be done forever, I got the last weapon to drop to me. I lost track of how many times I did the fight, I was sad I couldnt have given those totems to someone else lol

I dont get why it just doesnt go to loot and can be dished out, so silly, boggles my mind.

I agree i just want my claws and this shit is taking forever about time i get them the fight will be not important anymore.

Because when Ifrit battle was patched into the game, there was precious little to keep people busy. They have been successful in keeping a lot of people busy by making them spam ifrit, using the system they use now (albeit with the addition of totems, which also drop slower than a virgins underwear).
I'm an unbearable cynic lol.
