primal drops

[Rydin]

What do you expect the drop rate to be like? If the drop rate was the way you wanted it to be, nobody would have anything to do, because if you had all weapons you are hardly gonna want to do ifrit/moogle any more are you.
Took me a good 150+ runs on both for 7/7. If the drop rate was the way you people keep moaning about the way you want it, i would of had nothing to do untill the next patch was out. The drop rate is fine, leave it be.

I don't know that people want a better drop rate as much as they want the ability to pass duplicate weapons from the loot list for... wait... why are we all still discussing this... how many threads are there on this....

I know why there are so many threads on drop rates though....
This entire argument is a way for people to vent about the lack of content... we know content is coming in 2.0, so we can't directly say "I am pissed because there is no content" because then people would flame you for being an impatient douche... And its true... the PDFs show serious content is coming in 2.0

But the problem for right now is we get 1 or 2 pieces of content every couple months... which really is NOT enough to keep people interested.... so SE makes the drop rates crap.... So you have to do that 1 piece of content for the entire 2 month span until the next content comes out....

And like I said... we've evolved to a point where we can't complain about the lack of content...
So we complain about drops... which is indirectly complaining about a lack of content

how many threads are there on this....

Too many..

They will never up the drop rate due to the fact that it is a solid time sink. If that solid time sink vanished, then there would be even less to do in the game.

Wow, this thread seems familiar.

getting tired of winning these fights and watching everyone else get duplicate weapons while I havent seen a drop yet from ifrit or moogle. WTF SE, Im uowards the 70 win mark now and have shit all to show for it. what the fuck happened to being rewarded for putting the work/effort in?

They care more about you still playing the game than how you feel while you're playing it.

And yet this system is still in and could easily be fixed by undoing the broken crap it is now, make weapons go to loot, that is all that is needed, non of this stupid ass totem crap, non of this stupid lamps, just go in, fight, and item goes to a distributable list, thus dupes can be traded.

But since they're sticking with it and putting more shit on top of the shit that exists, i highly expect this to stick around in 2.0 otherwise it would be gone, there is no pre2.0 reason it still exists.

The one thing I am concerned about and still no answer from community reps about it is this; It takes quite a few people a long time to get 7/7 weapons or even the 1 or 2 weapons they want from each primal. With Garuda coming out soon and maybe one more primal before 2.0 perhaps? I want to know will these primal weapons be obtainable in V2.0? If not, they will need to up the drop rate on them so that we can get the ones we're missing before this content disappears.

Let's face it, some people have more luck on primal fight drops than others through no fault of their own!

Garuda's coming out soon and I know ppl who are still spamming Ifrit, yes Ifrit, to try to get their last weps or even first weps, I've heard some have really bad luck on drops even at this point. I was hoping to be done getting weps on moogle by the time Garuda comes out because I know it will be just like when Moogle came out and I was still working on Ifrit drops, everyone will leave Ifrit/Moogle and move onto Garuda.
I don't mind the time sink, I'm putting the exp on my dol/doh classes so I would continue to do the older content for the exp bonus at the end, but not knowing if this will be around in 2.0 with the current drop rate is what I"m getting from these threads.
I was 5/7 on Ifrit when I started getting dups on all dow weps, got the glad wep 7 times, pug twice, lnc twice, bow twice, axe twice. I'm currently 5/7 on Moogle drops and yup, the dups have started. Just my luck I joke that when I get to 5/7 on Garuda drops the same pattern will repeat itself with dups.

Dear community dev's, could you find out from Yoshi if he plans to keep the loot system intact in 2.0 (ie chests) or whether he plans to change over to the purposed need before greed system upon boss death.

I think it would put some people minds at ease if he spoke about his plans for loot and lotting in 2.0

Many thanks
