One of the issues I have with the 1.X version of FFXIV is the horrible RNG. The drop rates on items are bad.

I been trying to get started on my relic quest. So I started joining a lot of pick up groups for hamelts in an attempt to get started. I have done about 20 hamlets so far in pick up groups usually get around 64-65k points. I seen seals drop maybe 50% of the time even then its only a 1/8 chance that you get one. All and all the RNG gods have not been in my favor and still have yet to get a seal. It's about a 6% chance for me to get a seal in any given run.

The thing is hamlets are like a 25 min snooze fest, I done whm, pld/war, doh. Slightly different but it's not really fun its just pretty easy and boring.

Will ARR do away with this kind of stuff? I rather do a lot if different content where I can see some progression being made and not be at the mercy of the RNG gods.

Seems like there is so little content in the game they use bad drop rates to artificially extend it? Will this trend continue or will be seeing a lot more varied content without the spam X event with a low drop rate hope you get lucky.
