Primal drop system, still no changes?!

I don't get why they can't make it that weapons drop to loot list, and anyone in the party who doesn't already have the weapon but DID enter with key items could be traded the item. I would much rather pass the axe to someone who needs it than have it clog my inventory. The totems,charms are just inventory cloggers and an un-needed step. Let us PASS weapons to who needs/wants. Let us decide how our group handles things....

Because that would be too easy, everyone would be 7/7 in 2 weeks.

If SE allowed this they would make the drop rates even lower anyway which kind of defeats the purpose.

That's the beauty of a token system you can get 1 token every time and still walk away with something.

You mean like everyone is 7/7 on Dungeon gears? There is still only a chance for items to drop. I mean I've done several evenings of Ifrit/Moogle runs where no one got anything... not a weapon or even a charm. Keep weapon drop rate low, just let us pass them when they do drop.

Primals only drop 7 items though, Dungeons have multiple items, its completely difference.

Yea lets throw ourselves at content for hours, days and weeks and get nowhere fast... no thanks.

So how many fights then should one have to do to get the ONE weapon they want? Not 7/7 just one.


Just so you know in ALL the Primal fights I've done so far this is roughly my rewards:

1 Ifrit's Bow (Archer was rank 26 at the time)
3 Kupo Nut Charms (Technically I had 4 but i passed one to a friend who needed it to be 7/7 on moogle)
6.5 Stacks of DM


Now, the friends I helped do the fights 3 of them are 7/7 on both primals. I have One weapon...never got a duplicate.

There are 2 sides to this crappy drop rate. (One person in my ls got the weapon he wanted on first win) But, since I can't solo Ifrit or Moogle, the reward shouldn't be a 'solo' reward. The group should decide who gets it, not the game. This is why I think the todem system needs to go. We're adults, we can handle sorting out who deserves what.

I don't mind having to work at a battle or fight to learn it. I don't even mind having to do it over and over to get drops/get people what they need and want. But pushing over 100+ battles against one Primal and still having players on your team who have nothing to show for it is absurd.

This is probably the most agreed-upon statement in forum history... I'm just wondering, as much as people have asked for it, has there ever been a dev response about it?

*Edit:* Not trying to hate on the devs, I just really don't know. >.>
