How can such horrid primal drop rates even exist?

[Blaize]

The problem is, none of you understand how to complain correctly. This game is almost exactly what people asked for, basically no cooldowns for dungeons, you want to do what you want, when you want, no questions asked. Thing is, that means bad drop rates, it just does, SE cannot and will not ever produce content fast enough to let you forever spam the same content and get 100% drops or even close to it.

Your compaint should be that events like they were in 11 were not here. The majority of all events 11 gave you something, reguardless of what it was, something would drop.

Example: Limbus

Given, you dont just go and poof your decked out, but after you gathered a pop and kill ultima/omega you got 2-3 drops 100%

Example: Ein

Same crap, get all 9 rooms cleared, 3 days later do Odin and boom, you got something 100%.

Example: Salvage

You win a zone, boss 100% drops stuff (also, given, it was only the 25 pieces and you actually had to work to get the 35's which i know is like... a sin or something to most of you).

Example: ZNM/Garrison/sky/sea (im sure im forgetting some)

Basically, the final bosses and sometimes the bosses leading up the final fights, gave 100% of SOMETHING, but again, this is what the forum trolls have asked for. The content is easy, you can spam it, congratulations and enjoy your self-made hell and may you expect nothing better from 2.0 because your all doing it again.

Amazingly all of those FFXI events you listed are the ones I enjoyed doing the most and had most fun doing, even if I got nothing out of it, the enjoyment was because someone out of the (Insert number) people you had with you eventually got something. Rewarded for putting in a bit of time for something is enjoyable and fun, and hell dunno about you but it was awesome seeing that THF's reaction when they got Corazza!

EDIT:: Bah posted to early lol.
The only thing is due to the whole debacle that was FF14 1.XX-around 1.18 there wasnt enough time to put in the content with similar systems to this, so the camparison is slightly like comparing chocolate and cheese :/
