Primal drop system, still no changes?!

Hmmm... Awful lot of people doing some ridiculous numbers.. 1/150 etc etc. I HIGHLY doubt the majority of you are even close to 150! Butter up some more why dont you ? I PROMISE you, if you spend time at ifrit you WILL get the drops. The drop rate is kinda shitty, agreed. But for those of you that only have 1 weapon, you don't even understand the real issue with those fights! DUPLICATES! You want to rage about something, rage about duplicates. If you CLEARED 100 runs, and you only got 1 drop 0 totems, go buy a lottery ticket. Seems we have a lot of super lucky people in here....

Doing the same fight over and over again is work. At work, I get paid by the hour. I know I'm going to make a certain amount by the end of the week and that's largely the reason why I do my job. I would not work for a randomly generated amount of money which is inclined to be low or nothing. I feel the same way about repeat boss encounters - I don't feel compelled to even try.

I mean, I did at first. But after about 20 runs and only seeing two totems drop (to other people), my interest quickly waned. SE, this is not a good model if you're just trying to stretch out content. All you're doing is making us just as bored as if there were nothing to do, and the rewards which supposedly keep us interested simply feel unobtainable.

I don't feel these rewards are something I can work towards, which is something people who are on a tight schedule need. If I spend a lot of time on something and make absolutely zero progress, square one, no better off whatsoever, I feel utterly ripped off because my time is neither free nor infinite. Not only that, but I'm actually paying to waste my time.

Until SE goes "oh by the way you have to do an Primal equivalent Fight with the same horrible shit drop system as Ifrit and Moogle."

I swear that crossed my mind.... I just hope that they won't go Garuda crystal drop needed to complete quest for AF weapon...

Btw, 7 drops since its seven weapons...

No, it's not. I know how many tapers I had and how many I have now. I keep track of that, so 100 fights for. 5 totems, which 3 were passed to me! Hear that?! Is pretty accurate sir!

I have killed ifrit about 50 times,

I have not gotten a single drop, and i have 2 totems.

[Green_and_a_Half]

I have killed ifrit 0 times and got 0 drops and have 0 totems.

[Sfarzoso]

Still after Mog Blade. Hundreds of encounter. Not even 7/7. While some lucky bastards got all their weapons and Dark Light in 20ish runs ? Come on Square Enix. . . You can do better this, or we shall take out the torches and forks and chase you all!

Like others mentioned, the problem isn't drops, but the formula. Drops happen all the time, but RANDOM doesn't work. You form a party, organize it, hour later, do the fight, win, dead weights always are around, usually two, three, which is ok, they gotta learn too, goes and get full weapons or totems, and the other 5-6 that carried the fight and the dead weights on their backs gets the middle finger after the fight, makes you not wanting to do it again because of being so mad about wasted time, and Thats not funny!

I have 5 nut charms guess if i wait then ill be half-way to my first moogly weapon, kupo! And it only took me 90 wins to get those 5 charms... yay!

Pfft, only 90 wins more to go then.

Previously we made an announcement mentioning that in patch 1.22 we would adjust the exchange rate for items collected from primal battles. As the development team was making adjustments, after giving thorough consideration for balance and other aspects, they have decided to reduce the number of Kupo Nut Charms to 10; however, the number of Inferno Totems will not be reduced and will remain at the cost of 10 each weapon.

We apologize for the change and appreciate your understanding.
