All this rng rage....

Clearly none of the ones raging have sacrificed enough to the RNG gods of old.....

It actually is my first and only MMO xD
Just saying, I've not been complaining. Knew what to expect from previous alliance raids. Don't think I ever got the minion from Orbonne for example and I owe the latest event for me getting the dun scaith minion

Rng walls is the lazyiest way to padd content in a MMO imo.
They are just doing it to increase their stats of player playing time.

Actually its not RNG that's the laziest, it's timed content or weekly lockouts. RNG is just RNG. You either got it or you don't.

While this might be true in regards to anything that only or mainly impacts an individual player - aka: anything you can and are most likely to do solo, like those horrible relic-fate-grinds - its less true for content like this, that involves and therefor impacts other people aswell.
If there was no incentive to run this content more than once (a week or at all), people who arent able to unlock it within the first few days or are able to get their weekly drop on tuesday would be pretty sh*t out of luck.
So no, they're not just doing it to increase our playtime, they're also doing this so someone with limited play time still has enough other people queueing for this content on a saturday 2 months after release.

Won this silly outfit with a 99 on my first run through of the place [thought it'd look cooler on my viera than it ends up being], still lost the minion that I actually want with a 3. RNG is RNG. Just means I have to keep running this thing till I get the thing I want, tis how it works and I'm fine with that.

The ONLY problem with this system is that once you get the gear you can still roll on the chest.

You know there will be trolls rolling on the chest even though they don't need it.

This is the only reasonable complaint I can get behind. They locked untradeable minion rolls after you already own it, surely they could do the same if you own the outfit.

[SturmChurro]

Well, I finally won it after about 20-21 runs. Won the outfit in probably the most cursed run ever, probably the worst I had ever been in, guess it was fate. 92 roll win.

Do you have both minions? Even after all my runs, I still only saw the second one once. Or rather one of the two?

Did it took you that long to get your weekly item, or did you simply spam as many runs as you can in two days even though you'll still run it again next week, and the week after, and after... ?

Oh, I don't care about the weekly item, that's just more glam for me. I do plan on running it again though for that glam, just not right now. I got caster butt armor on the 4th-6th run, somewhere in there. Maybe more or less. Can't remember. With the amount of tomes I have right now I could buy half a full set of 460 that can be upgraded, by the time I can get a couple more pieces of that glam gear. PvP is what I would rather farm at this point, grab some more glam from there. My dragoon, bard, white mage, gunbreaker, red mage, could ues another look to add.

There are two minions!? Whelp guess I'm running this thing more than I thought! lol

Yeah, The second one I think is another Pod, but grey (?) don't quote me though. I just know I saw two drops on one of my runs, and haven't seen it since. It looked like a grey version of pod 054 that always drops. Maybe someone here or on YouTube has it, or knows what I am talking about. I lost it with an 86 roll, I remember that.
