totem drop rates?

[Zanafar]

Was just curious on wether or not they plan to increase the totem drop rate. For ifrit I've gotten 1 totem out of 40 runs. While I understand that you shouldnt just be given a weapon and made very easy to get and take some time to get, I don't see why if they plan to make the game more "casual" that they would have the totem drop rate so low. It would be one thing if it cost 1 or 2 totems to get a weapon but its 10 so most people I've played with have gotten more weapons than totems. It just seems to defeat the purpose of having totems if they are almost as hard to get as the weapon themselves and then have to turn in 10 to get 1 weapon. From my experience I could get 5-10 weapon drops before getting 10 totems. Am hoping the dev's could comment on why such a low drop rate. I'm not complaining just more of a observation and curiosity as to the logic behind the low totem drop rate.

Not likely. People have been complaining about totem rates since they were added, and they haven't done anything to them.

I think the best way to make it fair is to have a drop rate of the totems and the amount required equal the same percent chance of a weapon drop rate. For example if Ifrit drop rate of a weapon is 5% then the drop rate of the totems should be 50%. This would mean that a weapon should drop 1 out of every 20 fights and you would get 10 totems about every 20 fights then they are about equal in order to obtain a weapon. While this of course would never be a 100% scenario in fact you could still end up with more weapons than totems or purely totems it at least would give a balance between the drop rates and the reward associated with the drop rate.

I am 12/42 on totems. It seems to make a big difference if you take the time to

do 6-12 runs in a row. You will have days of nothing but DM still, but will see a ton totems and weapons drop overall.
