Primal drop system, still no changes?!

[StateAlchemist]

Would it really be asking too much to raise the drop rate of the nuts/tokens? It seems pretty silly to fight these guys dozens of times only to get Dark Matter every. single. time.

Careful they might change it from DM to like...Gridanian Chestnuts... /desk

Was somewhat excited about the idea of being able to turn in even less of the items I don't have for a weapon...now I just don't care. I've yet to see a totem/nut/weapon in the runs that I've done. It's quite discouraging.

You can only do so many runs before the fun/challenging primal fight turns into an annoyance that you simply don't want to have to deal with anymore.

I think they won't drop the requirement for ifrit weapons because that's like admitting the moogle ones are better...

but lets face it, they are. SE really screwed the pooch there.

[Cichy]

There's no question totems and nuts should be 100% if they 10 per weapon. Shape up SE, crap like this has to be fixed before 2.0.

tl:dr version of this thread.

Honestly, just make weapons passable via loot list and I'll be satisfied.

at least allow us to trade the item through the loot list just like the dungeons are.

. It's bad enough you can't pass along the item[...]

make it so you can pass it or whatever. .

drop rate is actually pretty much spot on...we just need to be able to pass/lot stuff.

, but we need a lot pass system in XIV that allows people to pass what they don't need to those who do. Its the lack of such a system that makes the drop rate so problematic.

I don't care if they lower the drop rate, just give us the ability to pass.

let us give the items we dont need to others,

LET US PASS THE GOD DAMN ITEMS!

{YES PLEASE}

But still...

This is one of the few occasions that I am actually not angry at our reps. This sort of thing is not in their hands. The development team is a bunch of n00bs for this, though. To be honest, it should have never been considered to bring the required Totems down to 5 because Ifrit weapons are STILL basically BiS for group play. However, the fact that SE was dumb enough to even make that kind of announcement in the first place without completely considering everything is idiotic.

Don't shoot the messengers folks.

And don't shoot the sheriff either.

The deputy however...

I want to apologize in advance this post gets a little ranty.

I still say they Fubared the token system to start with.

They should have Done one of the following

Yanked the weapon drops all together and made it one token per weapon. With the tokens being as or more rare then the current weapons are.

Made it so weapons just go into the person loot list to be passed around.

Or made duplicate weapons go into said person loot list so it could be handed out via that kind of nifty /random that they put in.

Yea some Dicking over is going to happen. but it will be by the players. Not the game making you feel like an ass because you watched a weapon your friend really wanted hit the floor.

To which ever rep reads and bundles this sentiment up with the rest make this perfectly clear to who you report to.

You guys have let this Primal weapon crap drag on for far to long.
Get this sorted, quit poking the sore spots of what community this game has left. I swear to the flying spaghetti monster its two steps forward one step back most of the time with you guys.

Rare drops are all well and good. The problem starts popping up when there so rare that the related content has to be done so many times that it goes beyond being a chore.

Fun, Entertainment, Excitement You guys know how create this stuff, or at least synthesize something resembling it most of the time. You guys keep throwing hale mary passes you can even catch them most of the time, Then your running back trips over his own feet right at the damned goal line.
