Agreed OP. I do not much like the direction this game is going in. If this is what FFXIV is going to be about...spamming crap with a chance at something that rewards luck not skill...then I don't think I will continue with it. I am waiting of course until 2.0 and have hopes that it will turn itself around. If not...bb heh.

I have a good feeling though they will turn it around with 2.0

If Legendary weapons are rewards from getting lucky with drops instead of skill...hell to the no. I really enjoy using skill to obtain stuff in the games I play instead of getting lucky by doing something easy yet extremely tedious and boring. I refuse to do Hamlet Defense (It is stupid, sorry..more instanced stuff..not interested ><) and spamming CC and AV...it gets old..FAST.
