How SE is alienating talented players

[Peptaru]

Yet you haven't cleared even the basic dungeon.

You amuse me.

Cuz you know all about the toons I use, don't use and everything else? You know nothing about me, but I just figured out your petty and foolish. Done in this thread. ttyl!~

What is the rush? Even after 1.22 (which it won't be for months) is released it is not like Garuda is going to drop a bunch of armor, it will likely have primal weapons. Are we going to get the Legatus's armor in 1.23? None of those fights will even be in 2.0, but these dungeons will be. What does that tell you?

Face it these two dungeons ARE the itemization until 2.0 most likely, so maybe marathon farming runs aren't exactly necessary unless you are just dying to burn yourself out for no reason.

If they increase drop rates it would just mean everyone would have the gear in a week, and itemization would once again be a non-factor in FFXIV.

Look they know what they're doing. They know the loot system in the game is a time-sink. They don't have a lot of content so the only way they can keep you playing is to make the drop rates stupid. Whats better for SE keeping you and your elite friends in a dungeon for an entire month, or letting you guys get all the gear in 1-2 weeks? "Spoiler" they choose the entire month... then even after that month you guys might still be missing one last part of a set keeping you locked in cc or av hoping to finish a set. SE knows they are screwing you in time.

Don't worry though as soon as they have enough content they will change how drops work and people will get the same armor that took you 1-2months to get in a week. The main thing i want to get across is they already know and are doing this on purpose.

If we wanted things changed we would have to call Yoshi out and be like look its not our fault there isn't enough content in the game stop making us grind the same stuff over and over... hey we love ifrit, moogle,av,cc they're beautiful dungeons but i think after 30wins we should at least have just about everything we need from the place. Anyways just my opinion but i know for a fact they're doing this on purpose and won't be changed unless enough people complain.

Simple solution, add a difficulty option, thus the higher difficulty the higher drop rates. Now, skill will help with getting better drops...

Personally I haven't been a fan of Speed Runs, I'd rather have each battle be tough.
1 Star = 4 Man
2 Star = 8 Man
3 Star = 8 Man (Diff + 1)
4 Star = 8 Man (Diff + 2)
5 Star = 8 Man (Diff + 3)

Just like with leve difficulty. The dungeons could have this option. Now, this is just my opinion. But with the difficulty change, you could remove the time limit, but still design the dungeons to be explored, and completed in about an hour. Increasing the difficulty increases the mob levels, as well as perhaps placement of chests, and throws some other conditions on the party. But again, opens you up to better drop rates.

This +1

Great Idea

it'd be nice for the drops to be easier to get but that would mean everyone else would have it too and i don't like that. i like it the way it is-it's all luck but the hardcore will always come out ahead.

You would think you would have better odds at gear with 5 chests per run with speed run giving you more runs per day.
Maybe a simple solution to this for now would be to make the drop rate slightly higher for people who accomplish speed runs?

I guess I am just not feeling the pinch like some of you, our LS has been pretty lucky it looks like.

alienating your real life doing 25-30 runs in a day and a half. or your full lies

just log off calm down then it will all be good again. just sounds like another post where you want everything 100% drop so you can win the game. great things should not be easily attainable or whats the point after you get it.

Lol these kind of posts are awesome. For the record, I studied 4 hours in the morning for the LSAT. God forbid I don't study on Saturday mornings though o.O. Raided for 8hours or so. Went to a birthday dinner. Went out. Got home at 4am. Slept for 6 hours. Rinse and repeat. You do realize speed runs only take 22-25 mins. 1 every 40 minutes. Lmao, I can send you pictures of the girl I took home last night if you want too.

My RL = your final fantasy.

By far the douchiest post I have ever seen. You sir, are the coolest guy I do not know!

On topic, the game in it's current iteration does not work well for longer lockouts, but I see as something that may be implemented in 2.0. Hopefully they will also introduce a higher drop rate. It's all just pacification of the player base until 2.0. They keep us playing and look for feedback.
