Ifrit Weapon Drop Rates Make Children Weep

[Ventus]

This has been discussed many times and is OLD news, but it's relevant to my current frustrations so I'm posting about it.

10 totems = 1 weapon of choice. Totems never(hyperbole) drop.

Weapons never(hyperbole) drop.

Killing Ifrit is bitter sweet.

Least I got a ton of dark matter

Based on the number of likes the very expected post below me is getting I just want to say I'm aware this is beating a dead horse but oh well =P

This:

As many times as I've read one of these "Drop Rate" threads, I can't help but wonder how they've escaped the attention of the mods and devs. I don't think anyone is really and truly ok with the idea of running the same fight 300+ times to get the 1 item you want. People can say that talking about it is childish or w/e else they want to but it really is an issue and last I checked bringing issues to the table isn't childish. Having your head shoved up your ass doesn't help. Just because you've already done [content] 500+ times and got everything from it doesn't make it not a problem, it just means you've already spent the time. Why are so many people so focused on themselves that they don't want to see better things for the ones that come behind them? Or am I mistaken in thinking that the point of "community" discussions is to make things better for the community? Should the goal here be more of a "keep things shitty cause it was for me and no one should get better stuff than I did" type thing, or is it already?

Well as long as you have stuff like people going 0/250 on the goddamn bow, these threads will keep popping up.

(Also, I freaking love that lala emote. For the raised eyebrow alone I am totally leveling a lala once 2.0 comes out.)

If no one else will say it i will "there to stupid to do something so smart concidering how many times we have asked, begged & threatened them"

ya but to easier of drop rates also makes it people get what they want and then no one does ifrit anymore.

Yes that is all good and fun, but I suppose the rational argument against a drop rate this low is that it is clearly this low just to waste our time and draw out content because (guess what?) there's barely any!

dont worry i agree the drop rate blows i wish they ,made it you could trade weapons for weapons i have a staff and a bow i never use rather trade them for Lance and Claws.

And could have sworn there was a person on masamune whose 300+ fight 0 weapons and 2 totems?

I'm picking on this post because it was the first of its kind in this particular thread.

Are you serious?

Can you think of a particularly good reason why people shouldn't stop doing it? Do you think we should just keep fighting Ifrit every day until the end of time, and it's a good thing that SE has tried to make exactly that happen? I just don't know how people in FF11 got along, barely killing avatars more than a dozen times over the span of several years. We should have forced them to fight them every day for the rest of their lives.

Trolls and apologists will destroy this game, and the official forums will be the juggernaut they ride us all straight to the jaws of defeat in.

People do content. People get what they want. People stop doing content. That is... normal. Expected. It's all part of the plan. And, if you have to do it sparingly enough to get what you want, while keeping it fresh and fun, folks might even help the next generation through it, which is what keeps folks doing content. Not punishing drop rates that make no one want to do it to begin with, and makes them swear off ever doing it again once they have what they want, which means the next generation better help the next generation out, because the previous generation is done with that content for the duration of the game. Period.

That, and it needs to be said again and again so I'll probably re-quote it later too.
