    As i said in my last post i dont agree that we dont have a general pool for drops, even if we had the drop system of dungeons i would agree with that, but i got 4 of 7 weapons in all those wins and im not counting the drops i got even 3 times more like the ifrit claws, ifrit harpoon, etc in all those runs there were drops, lots of drops weapons and totems but those didnt land on me.

    I dont think the problem here is the drop rate, THE DROP RATE IS FINE the loot system is what is wrong, so i dont want them to dumbdown the drop rate to a higher one, but instead i would love having at least the dungeon drop system so we can handle as adults giving each other what we dont need, i dont even think that we need a need/greed system i think a good thing of this comunity is that at least the ones with who i played are caritative and helpful in many ways.

    I did a run tonight and at the time i joined i hadnt beat AV yet, i got the win and many drops that they didnt need....

    Exactly, drop rate is actually pretty much spot on...we just need to be able to pass/lot stuff. I mean we have /random now... come on SE No todems/nutcharms/etc just let us pass loot if it drops and we don't want need. Problem solved everyone is happy.

    No, I'm sorry, it's not. It's really not.

    Out of 250 fights you got 4 weapons. There are people that have fought Ifrit 120 times and gotten nothing, or at best a couple totems. What you did was got lucky. Would you have those same people fight Ifrit another 120 times just to get the last few totems to get a weapon? That way they can fight him 240 times and get 1 weapon. Brilliant!

    Increase the drop rate slightly for weapons. Increase the drop rate further for totems and keep the totem requirement at 10. The current system does not benefit new players, because once someone has fought Ifrit (or in the future other Primals) hundreds of times, they're not going to want to help someone another hundred times just to get the 1 or 2 weapons they want.
