    The grind for Eden card is ridiculous

    20+ mins TANK queue for dead content, 10 mins of raid that's 50% cutscenes, with just 1% drop rate.

    Release OLD, DEAD RAID cards on NPCs or some totem system. This is absolutely ridiculous. It's as if it's designed for you to never get that card mount.

    1.) Consider playing Healer or DPS and check if that has any impact.
    2.) Make sure you have selected all language settings in the Duty Finder to catch every queue
    3.) Consider doing a party finder unsync group "Triple Triad farm" and beat through it in a longer setting.

    Set up a 6-DPS party and run it unsynced. Also, turn off voices.

    While I agree with the OP that older content should have cards moved to NPCs (with quest requirements), if he wants that card in the near-term, run it with an unsync'd party. There ARE other people out there that want that card. I've joined groups for that as well as Memoria Ex. It will eventually drop. I think it took at least 80 runs for my Eden card. It was by far the most time consuming card to get (not counting cards locked behind content like Bozja).

    While they are at it, they should also change 24-man raid cards to be Need for those that don't have it and Greed for everyone else. This mechanic is already partially in the game. If you have a "checkmark" for a unique minion (for example), you can't lot it. SE should consider having that check for Need. If someone literally _NEEDS_ the card, they can use Need. Otherwise, they can Greed it. It is absurd having to lot 2-3 cards against 24 people where most of them will just turn it in for the 1500 MGP.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Party Finder does not get any joins. Card collecting is so niche, you can't even get a party of 6 at peak hour.

    Can confirm. I've been after this card for weeks now and finding help is nigh impossible. No one wants to do E12, only E12S for the mount and that fight is a complete mess when run in PF so 99% chance you won't finish it.

    Savage drops the card as well, so what is your point beside youre too bad at the game to finish eden savage on 90?
    You probably skip half the fight and the hardest mechanics.

    Meanwhile, I'm 40 runs into Misery Memoria and no luck on that card. Yeah, drop rates for Trial cards suck and they need to implement an alternate pity way to get them (tokens/ totems)

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
