SE, Please increase primal drops or add Token System

[Tribunus]

Im kinda ok with the current system, however you need to update the loot system so that when items drop SOMEONE in the group can use it.

There is nothing more annoying then not only not seeing your weapon/item drop but then seeing a weapon/item drop that NOBODY can use.

in 1.0.

Apples and oranges.

I would agree - put a token system in place for these Primals. There's no legitimate reason not to. Even if it takes quite a few tokens to exchange for a primal weapon, that's fine. At least folks are receiving something tangible and feel that there is an end to the entire process. Giving no bottom to a bottomless pit known as the Primals in 2.0 is demoralizing and an unnecessary frustration for players. I know you guys want to prolong game play - do it in an enjoyable manner, with just a little frustration and disappointment. No enjoyment and endless amounts of frustration and disappointment is not okay.

Before any of you think I am asking SE to hand the primal weapons over on a silver platter - I am not. These weapons require time commitment and that's great. As I repeat myself, make the time sink less a void. =)

You can find 7 other like minded people and farm weapons its not rocket science. I have every garuda weapon cause i have been in 3 garuda wep farming parties. and i never spent more than 2 hrs in either of them.

Would it possible to implement a system where say, I take whm to a primal (lolqueues?), beat it, the purdy whm weapon I want doesn't drop however lets say for example... the axe drops. I'm leveling war next, already started gearing it for endgame, there's no other wars in the pt... can we stop random person greeding it who currently doesn't even have war unlocked, or level 50? This is what pees me off in doody finder. It's fine if you're in a group of friends, but mine aren't always online 100% of the time. This is what duty finder is for.

I would like to add my experiences with the system in game.

I've been trying to obtain the Ifrit's bow since 1.xx. I ran Ifrit so many times I was able to get three tapers a cane and fists. I've ran ifrit so many times in 2.0 I've gotten dozens of people their weapons. All in all I've ran Ifrit an estimated 70-100 times. I know that's a wide margin, but I've purposely kept a loose count, because in all my runs I've seen the bow drop once and lost, which is depressing to say the least.

In regards to necessary content (weapons needed to progress to relic)I find this purely random system archaic and totally unfair. My skills as a player are not being tested. I know the fight, I'm forced to do the fight dozens upon dozens of times with literally zero personal reward. The is not fun and there needs to be plans to fix this.

If you've got Titan on farm that you've done it this many times, why on earth do you not have your relic weapon? Titan is literally the only part of that entire chain that is even remotely a roadblock. Hell, even if you didn't take a single money reward from questing while leveling you still hit 50 with far more than enough Gil to get everything needed for your relic.

Nope, they specifically went with this system because people wanted it from other MMOs, instead of doing their own systems they used in XI and 1.0.

So, you want to be the only person that can roll on an item for a class you aren't even playing at the moment? Everyone may level WAR eventually, so everyone should be allowed to greed (unless they already have 1 copy, in which case they can only pass on it.)

Her point is why should someone who may level it eventually even get a chance at it compared to someone who does have it leveled?
