Matsui: "Don't Throw Away Your R/M/E Weapons Yet"

Looks like people got what they wanted......absolutely zero incentive to do new content. Well and extra 2 double attack on earrings. Guess that's awesome.

No need to fix. Just will make the HMP's and cinders skyrocket and content doable for years. In reality you will only need six people to do Uptala. With how strong the new weapons are. You will spam VW but not build lights anymore.

which is why imo if you have emp 85-90 you should have the choice of just unlocking the ws for another weapon or carry on your path and pray you get the plates.

Or up the drop rate on pouches... or add them into more fights or... something to make it feasible for all the player base.

Personally I will probably try pursuing the plates i needed for my ukon again now my friends harp is almost finished, but I still think I should have the choice considering I have put in the equivalent effort to a jp WoE hoarder.
They have to fix the plate issue.. The vw shouts were dying down before new expansion. Like people have stated woe weapons will be better than empys because they are easy to 99.

So the lights effecting the drop rate is a total myth are they?

Granted on gear we knew they were like 1% at best with maxed light so just zerging them not capping is helping you how exactly?

Also if your having to buy dust to pop (like I would be because stones SUCK at the current replenish rate) your essentially wasting even more gil by not having a pouch drop. There is too much wrong with it imo and needs looking at.

Before you say "gil lol gil" you still have to make it and I don't happen to be sitting on 100mil like some might be to go toss a load of it on VW stones.

All I would be looking for is better drop rates to accompany the god awful stone repop time. I haven't done VW in I dunno weeks and i'm only back up to 52 stones.. which I could literally now go use in a few hrs and maybe get 1 pouch? if i'm lucky... but I've waited over 100hrs just to get those stones...

The "balance" isn't there... haha......

Stuff

Perhaps your right on dust, but you forget. Many people are doing SOA or other activities daily and no VW. Hence their stone reserves are going up quite high. I don't think many people will be having to use dust to get stones. Especially if REMC update is not for another month or two. That be two to three months of stones being built up including this past month.

you get 2 stones replenished per day................ so 2 months you say? (you maybe right with that guesstimate)

so... 120 stones, is that gona get you 1500 plates? nope.... no where near. If you got 750 with that many you deserve a medal.

Considering how fast you can blow those stones in next to no time.. I still find this incredible.... I've been doing VW since it first came about, that is why my stones are so low and not at 1k like a mules that have sat not doing it since day 1.

Now that this is taken care of I can turn my official forum bitching to things that actually matter http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/33451-Regarding-Supernal-Chapuli?p=432008#post432008

I never said the stones would cover all 1500 plates. You should be making gil and buy plates or pouches that drop in some way or form. I don't know anyone who has got all 1500 plates and sixty x2 item without having to buy some from people during runs.

Sell the new potions, or rocks for plazma 100k a pop, do dynamics or craft. But don't rely on 1500 plates just dropping to you.

Because weapons are the only piece of gear you can upgrade.

Instead of having the stupid WoE weapon unlocking the ws lv90 empyreans should hell its more of a trial to get the abyssea items needed than it is to get the WoE items.

So...about this content level thing, if the next 3 Naakuals are going to be content level 16 or whatever, doesn't that mean that whatever Delve they end up making to correspond to those 3 Naakuals will be like content level 25 or something and we'll just be back to making another 100-page bitchfest about it?

And what about whatever comes after Delve? Are they just going to keep adjusting REMs so they correspond to the current content level? It's just weird.

I'm alright with naakual weapons having the highest damage. They are unique at least!
