Primal drop system, still no changes?!

I get it, you have envy. I get it, you're frustrated because you have a goal and you can't get to it when you want to get to it. I get it, you want to have the best stuff possible. These are all natural feelings. But anyone with a modicum of reality also knows that you are not entitled to any of that, and getting any of that is really a bonus. So with that said, go do your thing and leave Ifrit alone for a bit.

Reality is I go and do difficult or tedious tasks for money. I don't do them for free because my time is not free by any definition. When someone puts effort in in real life, reality, they're entitled to the payoffs, whatever they may be. Give me a good reason why I should not be entitled to something in game if I work my ass off for it. Because it's not the rules? I know the established MMO rules of luck based drops, and there's a major difference here. You can't pass these drops over to the people that need them, despite working as a group on this stuff.

I did all of the NMs with horrendous drop rates in FFXI and I never felt ripped off when the item didn't drop because when the item did eventually drop I knew it would go to someone who needed it. This chest business in FFXIV is a completely different animal. We watch repeat weapons burn while others are left with nothing. That's just rubbing it in our faces.

If we can't pass loot, then at least let us make consistent, discernible progress like with relic weapons. They were a nightmare to obtain but you at least knew where you were and that all of your efforts weren't in vain.

I had a double melded gaxe and lance that came nowhere near the ifrits parse.... sooooooooooooooo ya. stopped reading your post right there.

And this +1
