Don't listen to the people yelling at you for releasing info and then changing the specs. The majority of us would rather know what's going on rather than be held in the dark until it's too late.

Back to the subject at hand, I went 4/5 on weapon drops yesterday in Moogle. 3 of them were dupes. My party hates me ; ;

I don't think anyone is directing angry at the community devs.

I think most are just disappointed that we have been fobbed off with another lame excuse, its understandable why they would take it out on the messenger to some degree. (and to be fair I doubt they have lost sleep over it)

Reposting what I posted a while ago since it seems that some players have a hard time understanding that "being able to pass items to party members" is more or less the same as increasing drop rate in the end and shortening the lifetime of the event.

Why repost? It's not that people fail to understand that point of view. We disagree.

Do you know what else shortens the lifetime of an event? When people get sick of it and stop running it.

Yup but that's effectively not the case here.

How long it has been since the release of this encounter? I still see people shouting for that daily, not to mention Linkshell going straight up there. Add people on this thread with comments like "I did it over 500 times", and well it shows that even if people complain they keep doing it.

It's not about opinions. It's about facts. So you can agree or disagree it won't change anything.

Yea I played FF11 for 5 years before I finally though "well F this for a laugh", at some point people will get fed up.

Every time you do content and walk away empty handed you feel slightly less motivated to do that content, this is what people are getting at.

You either get everything fast and leave because you got it all.
You either get bored of doing the same thing over and over and get nothing for it.
or you find a middle ground which prolongs content but doesn't make it a crap shoot every time.

Team up with friends or LS mates and pool your totems. It will only take a few runs to get a weapon. Then the only challenge is to find people who will stick around after they've got what they want. But that's a different issue all together.

And what if everyone wants a weapon, who takes priority to go first etc ?

Why not just take it out of the players hands and make it so everyone gets a token (non tradeable)

Because people can not get their weapon cause of the SHITTY DROP RATES ppl are not doing this cause ifrit is a fun and challenging fight or w/e. also to your other post when that person gets another 50 class they can go farm ifrit again if they wanna deal with the bullshit.

I like how you make totems/weapons seem as if they drop at a fair rate.. I've done Ifrit far too many times, especially compared to moogles, if I'd have to take a guess on how many times I've done moogle fights.. I'd say easily 20-25 runs by now and I already have 3 weapons + 4 Nut charms vs Ifrit which the count on that is just lulz with only 3 totems and 1 Ifrit weapon.


For the difficulty of Ifrit (more like lag issues not difficult really) and the drop rate of totems and weapons.. it's just not a viable option vs mog fight.

SE should at least give us the capabilities to pass weapons if they don't want to change the drop rate nor halve the amount of totems required for an Ifrit weapon.
