Will ARR have less spam the same event over and over because of bad RNG drop rates?

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.

Yes..he said "You won't spam events in ARR" meaning you're more than likely handed everything the first time around.

What Elexia said... no need for further posting in this thread, close shop!

Plz read some of the letter's and info which may answer some of your questions.

Haha... 20 hamlets.

Haha... 20 hamlets.

It was a lot of wasted time, makes me think I should stop joining hamlets till ARR.

[Avraym]

20 Hamlets is a lot? I would cry tears of relief if i only had done 20.

[Reika]

I really doubt that will fly lol. Somethings going to end up with abismal drop rates and be spammed.

Might as well. With any luck they'll probably redo the Relic quest, seeing as how so few people do it now.

War on the RNG!

You can easily replace it with exponential drop rate tables or counters - which would focus more on skill and less on luck (completing it successfully with a assured or almost assured rate of achievement). Assured rates would also give reason to make the encounters more challenging even more emphasis on skill (since you know you arent wasting your time on lady luck).

We'll just be spamming different quests over and over instead.

20 hamlets haha. I gave up on my subligar around the 450 mark.
