Huh uh. Doesn't work like that.
^To true.

What made FFXI great unlike most MMO's was you had to earn your crap, it may of took time, but when you got it, it was awesome. For this they appeased casual players by making things easier to get, like a lot of people said casual =/= easier. To a majority of casual players to my knowledge is they just want to have the ability to get the same stuff, which is fair and should be the case. However, lowering drop rates, making things easier is not the way. There are other methods SE can take up.
