soiled promissory note?

Don't forget that in XI's Dynamis it benefited EVERYONE helping out.

Some people were there for Relic gear, some people were there for currency, others for clears.

Hamlet defense sounds like it will benefit only 1 person at a time with current drop rates and conditions. Not to mention all those people in your LS not included in the super group of 8 who will undoubtedly get geared first, and then quickly lose interest in helping others with the same enthusiasm.

Can't wait to see yet another DoM weapon that sucks yet has some ridiculously hard requirement to get.

So many good comments here, I've forgotten where I wanted to begin, so I'll just sum up all my thoughts:

FIX
YOUR
LOOT
SYSTEM

Yes, it is broken. Badly!

[UmJammerSully]

I've still yet to see any proof that all this beastmen seal stuff has anything to do with AF weapons...

[Tango]

as far as the AF weapons and the seal drop rates go we should hold our tongue till we see the stats. For all we know the stats could be absolute game changing over the top like relic's in FFXI. The only reason ppl never complained about relics in FFXI was because they were well worth the efforts involved and they allowed a shell to reward its most dedicated members with a large scale effort. I'm happy knowing in my shell a few will probably get the AF weapons first then we'll work to knock out the rest of the members over time hopefully before 2.0

seals are tradable right? (before they hit inventory)

[Zozma]

Or make points earned like a currency. Buy a seal for a given price, thats a couple of runs just for one...No luck based crap, just simply more skill = more points. That will prevent someone going 20 runs without a single seal or any form of progress, compared to one lucky fuck who gets on first match.

[Velhart]

The luck based system really...."really"....needs to go. I can't believe the only response we have gotten out of the developers is "It is fine, because the gear is good.". They don't understand the mentality of it's own community. Clearly the mass majority agrees that it's loot system is horrid, yet we get no response. I want them to come out and explain why they believe this system is good. The problem is I don't believe they are capable of that because there isn't a good reason to have it, unless you get a thrill out of not getting rewarded for your efforts.

I really want a Dev response to this, a proper one.

[ArkNova]

Please for the love of God tell us if the RNG is gonna stay in 2.0 or if there will be a drop system even remotely like XI's so I know if I need to drop my subscription now or keep it. I can picture it now all the Cloud Strife fans raising hell they gotta spam Ultima Weapon 300+ times to get their wanna look like Cloud sword.

I think, Req, that the secret mechanic that we don't know about is getting Rank 3+ Hamlet. From what I get the hamlet level is a multiplier to your points, and it seems like you already get a pretty good drop rate with 50k acquired at rank 2, imagine what 100k+ would net you at rank 5?

Of course, all the hamlet suppliers want is making it top 20 and not increasing hamlet level, so eh.

when rank 3 is added people will go out of there way to see what its like and we will probly go from there

your right though, some people just dont want to donate without a guarentee of getting top 20, which is a bit rediculous when half of them only do so cuz they dont understand what top 20 even means(such as people claiming you get no drop sunless your in top 20 regardless of the situation)
