I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning more toward leave the drop rate as a tough thing. As was previously said, maybe not everyone is meant to have everything. Maybe not everyone is meant to have everything "right now". I'll never have half the stuff I want in this game and that's just the way it is, despite my best efforts.

That being said...

You know I really liked the Assault and Nyzul Isle system in FFXI.

Assault you save up points and buy what you want. No random tokens taking up inventory space. No terrible drop rates. Just do a run, save your points, and buy your cool stuff.

Nyzul still had to deal with the drop rates, but at least you were working on multiple things at once. (Flooring up, Getting drops off bosses, looking for your mystic weapons off NMs, and the off-chance that a ??? drop off an NM would turn into something cool.)

We need more of this kind of content. Where you can do multiple things at once in the same dungeon or you just get points to buy stuff from the companies for special currency obtainable thru content.
