Primal drop system, still no changes?!

[Pofo]

People need to stop complaining, the drops are fine as is. The game is dead enough even with the merger, if they up the drop rates then what little content we have would die out, and at least half of the population will cancel their accounts til the next major patch, due to lack of stuff to do. By keeping drop rates low, we're forced to grind for several months, giving them time to work on the next update, and still keep our subscriptions. Yes low drop rates may cause a handful of people to emo rage quit, but that's a small fraction compared to what they'd lose if their content didn't last for months. Remember, Square Enix is a business first and your friend second, they want our money, and low drop rates for longer lasting content is how they accomplish that.

This is dumb because people will get burnt out and quit anyway. With the current drop system they'll leave with a bad impression of the game and are less likely to reactivate at the next patch.

Exactly people aren't running Ifrit anymore after they get the weapon they want. They are burnt out and very likely to quit. You need to give people a sense of accomplishment for doing things and getting players who already have the weapons incentive to keep on coming to help newer players. There have been many great suggestions in this thread how to achieve this.

I am sure that there are people who got the weapon they want an refuse to run Ifrit again but if you said look if you do it another 20 times you will get the remaining weapons you don't have and if a duplicate drops you can turn it in for 250 gc seals Ifrit runs would start going through the roof.

There is nothing wrong with the drop system on prime fight atm, for god sake stop whining aready. The totem and nuts drop help enough aready and not only that alot ppl are aready 7/7 ifrit and moogle atm.
I totally agree with Pofo so he get a cookies.

drop rate would still be better i think. i done ifrit 73 runs and got 1 totem no weapon drop the rate is beyond to low, this is nice if the totem would acully drop.

Yeah I finally realized that I would progress farther in the game at this point if I went back to leveling crafts every evening. As soon as we get a cap increase this stuff won't be worth the months of time investment it seems to take. Yes I know that that's the way MMOs are, and for me having all crafts capped by 2.0 is a better time investment.

People run Ifrit all the time on my server, I don't know how it is on Aegis but on Hyperion in the last hour I've seen 3 individual groups come and fill up. As for incentive for people who already have the weapons to come back, that's probably not going to happen unless A. It's a Linkshell event, or B. You have friends nice enough to spam ifrit for you even when they are 7/7. You want to give people a sense of accomplishment and at the same time ask for easier drops? Where's the accomplishment in getting something that is an easy drop? I busted my ass to get the 6/7 weapons I have now, and within the last 40 runs or so I've seen quite a few duplicate weapons, but when that last weapon drops for me, I'll have a true sense of accomplishment. If you get burnt out easy then maybe MMOs are not for you, you should stick to 1 player games that you can set on easy mode and beat in a single day.

Nice personal attack there really made your point very nicely. Oh wait no you didn't.

[Yumi_Hibiki]

i can only talk for myself but i did him maybe 50 times or so and i am at 5/7 on the weapons and have 8 totems, so 2 more and i can get the last 2 weapons in 1.22

i personally don't think its too bad but i might just be super lucky...
maybe its my gipsy magic again

Some people only know how to say "go play a single player game" which immediately makes me ignore anything else they say. This one was more fun to read cuz they mentioned easy mode.... FFXIV is equivalent to a game on easy mode already. lol
