[Suggestion] an alternattive to the 2b coffer

[TwiibieTwuu]

So Finished the raid a few hours ago. loved it! except...

An outfit people have been asking (even making using similar looking pieces) for since HW
is Locked to a single coffer you have to fight 24 other people for...

I get the whole argument "It's so people keep playing the raid" but at the same time, that's also how you put people OFF from doing content. it's why most Blues haven't even finished their spell books. repetitive grinding for an item you have an extremely low chance of even earning is something that can quickly burn people out.

And the next raids will also no doubt have more glamour coffers (like weapons).

So a solution. the Tokens you usually get from completing a certain raid. maybe make the coffer available to purchase from a vendor inside the mine. 10-15 tokens seems fair.

As fun as the raid is, I don't think people want to play it all day every day.

That's a discussion about being annoyed at how the costume was implemented.

This is a suggestion on an alternate way of obtaining the coffer. still have to do the raid a few times. but makes it possible to obtain it.

My apologies. I sometimes forget that people seem to think they need a variety of threads that talk about an issue. Regardless, you're offering a suggestion on a system that has been in place since the crystal tower days. If people have been okay with fighting over a minion against 23 other people for about 7 years now, I'm sure they're okay fighting over 3 coffers unless there is some kind of justification for needing this particular outfit week one of the raid.

All I suggested was an alternative way to get an item, one that doesn't require luck and needless grind. people have hated the current system of luck based loot for years.
But I sometimes forget that people don't care about players burning themselves out trying to obtain an item where RNG dictates the winner and not effort.

Welcome to mmorpgs I guess. Be greatful that you can get a chance at it as much as you want until you actually get it? Not a chance once per week or something archiac as the old days of mmorpgs. There's always something 'more' people can find that can be done to 'improve' something. I mean, they could've just threw it in the Mog Station without giving us a chance at it all....pick your battles is all I can say.

I may be biased because I got the coffer already, but I don't think there's a problem with this system. Or at least it's too early to say for sure. It's only the first day, for all we know the coffers could drop to the floor in five weeks. Next week you probably won't be up against 23 people, but 3 coffers will still drop.

[Bacent]

They won't do it. It's why they won't make TT cards individual drops again, to force people to run more in hopes they can outroll 23 or so people.

This sounds like something they could/should consider with 5.3 and the second NieR-raid the earliest, aka: when the content begins to die down a little.

Its not that I dont get that people want this outfit and have waited for it since HW - but isnt everyone going to run it at least once a week to get those weekly drops anyways? Yeah, you might not get it on day one, but you've got plenty of options to roll on it during runs you'd gone for anyways.

I like the token-exchange idea, but: remember that you get one token per week. So 15 tokens would be 15 weeks or almost 4 months aswell - still a good idea, but also on that can be implemented at a later time, for example once the weekly limit on the tokens is lifted.

If you don't like grinding for it, wait a few months, run it again and get it. It's no different than the minion drops or anything else. You'll get it eventually. If you want to "increase" your chances for it, then wait until more people already have it. If you want to get it faster, then grind for it. Everyone else has to make the same decision.

Also, complaining about not winning the coffer on literally the first day the content is out is a bit asinine. You might run it tomorrow and win it.
