Dev team, please realize that players are people, too. And that they are paying money to enjoy your game. If it's not fun (and, as OP states, terribad drop rate is not fun), then people just aren't going to play your game. Which means they won't pay money for your game. Which means no money, and no game. You're lucky there are so many of us who care so much, and believe so much, that we keep pleading with you on topics like this. It's in your best interest to make this game as awesome as it can be, not just ours. Let's work together toward that dream, please.
Totally totally agree here, these are my feelings. I am ONLY spamming these dungeons because its our ls event and if I loose a ls its SO hard to find a new one at this point. But I am OVER the darklight gear and could care less about getting any. In fact when I see someone running around in a full set of darklight I am not impressed, quite the opposite. All I can think is "Wow that person has absolutely no life"

I took a short break from the game and am on kind of a forced one atm (video card died so Im waiting on my new one). But really this 'content' is making me look at other mmo's. Im so hopeful cause I see alot of potential in this game and I really am hoping it becomes something wonderful. But right now its a pain to play. When I log in to do an event I just /sigh.

I like the idea of lock-outs with higher drop rates. I wouldnt mind logging in for events if I knew we could only run CC or AV once and its would take longer, be more challenging, and give a realistic drop rate. But knowing I have to log in to run a dungeon 8 times 3 times a week for events and then 8 times every time I log in, just cause.

I just hope they NEVER take a look at ffxi in its current state and think "wow trial of magians is a great idea" and implement that hot mess. I would immediately cancel my membership, no joke lol
