So no, It is not me (or 'most of us") that's missing the point of my own thread.

If we were all so cynical as to look at it your way, none of us would do endgame content at all.

No. Let me try to explain it to you more simply, and I am sorry if I appear to be patronising.
So called endgame in FFXIV today involves killing mob X and obtaining item X so we can Kill mob X in order to obtain item X (that we now already have, so why are we even bothering..) faster/better. This endgame is not a real endgame at all but a waiting room for people who have nothing else to do till 2.0.
Nothing else to do yet, nothing harder to use gear for yet, nothing greater to strive for yet = we don't need better drop rates yet. Disagree all you like but it is quite clear that the dev team thinks the same thing. I just hope they don't capitulate to all the crybabying because the end result will be even more peole leaving because they are even more bored.
