I'm sorry but I just had to come back to these forums in hope that Square Enix can see how painful this grind is. I have done close to 50 runs of the Dalriada now and I think i'm just going to quit. I dont care if Square Enix thinks it is working as intended but this is downright sadist. First of all, the raid is not always 30 mins as you can have people not using essences and lots of new people that can make it close to an hour. Diablo takes a huge chunk of time sometimes and most players like myself are just there for the field notes. I have 10 stacks of Valor now and I haven't seen even ONE NOTE drop. I have collected 48 out of 50 notes and the remaining ones are only from Dalriada or duels. I have over 150 platinum coins and as a huge FFXII fan that just wants the mount I think Square Enix is finally getting me to stop grinding. This is not fun at all. If you thought waiting for Dalriada to pop and hopping various instances when people are already rank 25 and have nothing to do but grind for resistance honours and the last 2 field notes was fun then you need to seriously rethink your game design. This is DOWNRIGHT CRUEL. You waste HOURS UPON HOURS just waiting for various Dalriada to pop and you dont get the notes because the drop rate is a joke and probably 0.1%. I'm not even joking right now with how pissed I am about this. Everyone is pissed except the lucky people in every instance. Everyone in my instances think the field note drop rates are far too low and yes I KNOW I CAN DO THE DUELS but getting in one is another story. I have never been in a Zadnor duel despite qualifying for various CE because my notoriety is only at 2 and even then the system is complete rubbish. Picking random people from the instance for one duel that you have to wait ages for to spawn is incredibly stupid. I'm at my wits end with this content. This is worse than any other relic grind and even Atma books. This is a complete waste of time so please I implore you to give us the option to buy the remaining two notes with platinum coins. The time commitment is insane and I just can't do it anymore with endwalker still incredibly far away. I want the mount and this is the only thing I do everyday. And I know someone that has done 108 runs without a single note. I'm sorry but 200 runs for potentially 1 note that drop from the same chest is too much. Either increase the drop rate or increase the chances of getting into duels or better yet make Dalriada Q ABLE.

Thanks for listening.
