Primal drop system, still no changes?!

[Fated]

This is one of the few occasions that I am actually not angry at our reps. This sort of thing is not in their hands. The development team is a bunch of n00bs for this, though. To be honest, it should have never been considered to bring the required Totems down to 5 because Ifrit weapons are STILL basically BiS for group play. However, the fact that SE was dumb enough to even make that kind of announcement in the first place without completely considering everything is idiotic.

Don't shoot the messengers folks.

And don't shoot the sheriff either.

The deputy however...

I want to apologize in advance this post gets a little ranty.

I still say they Fubared the token system to start with.

They should have Done one of the following

Yanked the weapon drops all together and made it one token per weapon. With the tokens being as or more rare then the current weapons are.

Made it so weapons just go into the person loot list to be passed around.

Or made duplicate weapons go into said person loot list so it could be handed out via that kind of nifty /random that they put in.

Yea some Dicking over is going to happen. but it will be by the players. Not the game making you feel like an ass because you watched a weapon your friend really wanted hit the floor.

To which ever rep reads and bundles this sentiment up with the rest make this perfectly clear to who you report to.

You guys have let this Primal weapon crap drag on for far to long.
Get this sorted, quit poking the sore spots of what community this game has left. I swear to the flying spaghetti monster its two steps forward one step back most of the time with you guys.

Rare drops are all well and good. The problem starts popping up when there so rare that the related content has to be done so many times that it goes beyond being a chore.

Fun, Entertainment, Excitement You guys know how create this stuff, or at least synthesize something resembling it most of the time. You guys keep throwing hale mary passes you can even catch them most of the time, Then your running back trips over his own feet right at the damned goal line.

Too bad FFXIV community fears a "FFXI-2", I mean I would hate:

It would be horrible if after you defeat a Primal you speak with an NPC for a choice of: Summoning them (if SMN exists), Gil, Item for a quest or the appropriate weapon/armor lol.

That would suck.

It's very simple. Just make the totems 100% , 10, you can exchange for a weapon of choice at Rowena. And. NO FULL DROPS. Is that hard SE? 70 ifrit runs and you get the set. Is that asking too much? To give 70 runs, one would have to farm ifrit for like 2-3 months if you have a job (RL).Putting together, the losses, time to form parties , etc. that's fair and that's how it should have been done.

They'd honestly have to add many more rewards, because there's very little reason to help others after you get your guaranteed drop after x amount of time. Which is why repeating in their other MMO had benefits back in the day, even if it was a quick 60k+ a day down the road, chances are you were helping newer players get their sought after items in the process.

Since honestly so far the only drops on Primals are the weapon and dark matter (in terms of tangible rewards.)
