How can such horrid primal drop rates even exist?

[Juancho]

I dunno whether to say Grats on being LUCKY or to say go and take a long walk off a short pier!

Been doing Ifrit since forever, and same with Moogle, and this is at least 3days a week with just runs on these give or take a few depending on friends/luck of the draw pug's. And all I have to show is 3 Ifrit and 2 Moogle.

Luck isnt a difficulty factor, its an annoyance. And yes this has been brought up many times, and yes for some insane reason its repeatedly ignored EVERY time.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't apply to everyone. I'm glad to hear you got most of your weapons already but the fact you've been playing for 3 months and already have most of your weapons just corroborates my point. You were lucky. People that have been playing for years might be unlucky and have 1 weapon to show compared to your 7.

Just as Addicted said "Anecdotal evidence doesn't apply to everyone", you say im lucky, I would say you are just unlucky. Remember that I also said that the loot in this game is non-rewarding because you dont NEED it and almost everyone has the same stuff? So calling me lucky would be calling lucky most of the players.

I still believe the drop rates are fine, everytime I run Ifrit/Moogle there usually is a weapon drop, its actually rare to see a run were noone in the group gets a single drop. And not only that, but you can do the same boss plenty of times per day. Compared to those bosses that have a 4 days re-spawn and with a 50% chance of dropping nothing (yep, talking about other games).

This is kind of like when the game started, everyone complained about the experience being to low. SE unfortunately decided to listen to its capricious players and now I see too many people complaining about unable to find low level experience parties. The same will happen if the drop rates are increased, since no one will need the items anymore then there wont be any parties for it.

My only suggestion for you is get a group of friends that are willing to go together on all dungeons, and I can assure you that your bad luck will end.
