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.)

That's easily fixed, if you can exchange the totems you got for something else, like company seals. In case you have 7-7 weapons. That would keep players killing it and whoever newbie needs the weapons.

Not something many people want to hear, but Content Finder will help alleviate this. They'll also be adding a hard mode to ifrit & new items anyway.

I've been 7/7 for a long time & I've already gotten a few crafts from 45~ to 50 just from helping alone. Just another small reason to help people.

Instead of more drops, it might be better to add some kind of reputation/points to content so people can farm them (esp. if they're linked to Free Company's in some way).

You don't need any reason to help others than to help, that's why its called help.

I have gotten 2 ifrit weapons, 3 totems 1 mog weapon and a nut charm. and I have done Ifrit 10 times, and Mog 4 times. With a good group the fights last 10min and 15min respectively. I understand the frustration but I have a hard time believing that people have gone a 100 fights and seen nothing... Now duplicates is annoying. As I type this I am going into my 11th ifrit run and the last fight someone got another ifrit claw. But maybe my groups just lucky. Out of 5 runs we have done now there have been a total of 4 weapons dropped to different people.

Yea the internet is full of such stories where people don't understand because "it didn't happen to them", congratulations on your lucky streak, hopefully it will run out soon so you can appreciate what the rest of us are saying.

Is FFXIV your first MMO? Is interacting with humans not your forte? Playing MMOs people like incentives for helping others, you can't deny this. It was a serious question by the way, as I can guarantee you don't go out of your way to help people shouting for these fights ^^
