And it's the hardest boss in the game, so you have nothing to use the 5% drop secret ultra uber weapon on.

Farming these for the Platinum trophy in FF13 was made even more painful realizing I missed a piece of equipment in chapter 4 and was locked from it anyway

When I played Ragnarok Online pretty much everything essential to your build had a .01% drop rate. That entire game was grinding

there's one way to make this worse.

every time you fight these things, they drop a totem, and 99 of them can be turned in for the thing you want.

No, thats better. If you get a totem each boss thats guaranteed progress. If a drop chance for an item is 5% you will get that drop approx 1 in 20,000 kills

that's exactly what makes it worse.

if there's a finish line, and you can see it, you just might drag yourself over it. otherwise, are you really putting in 100 kills?

I don't remember this at all. There were rock golems you need to grind?

Unless you mean the things in the field. They died pretty fast though.

But, you can only hold 5 totems at a time, and there's no fast travel point close to the exchsnge point or the enemy location

Add a few extra 0s. You clearly never played XCOM of world of Warcraft did you? 5% chance is almost 0% chance

The person is right on their math. You have not taken into account the desire detector penalty a game forces on you for somehow knowing what object you want. You will get the even more ultra rare .01% item twice, before you get the 5% drop item you desire in those 20k battles.

'it's great for ffxiv' is exactly right, and that's the game i had in mind when i said that. something can be good for a game but bad for its players, and to me, that is the example, right there.

like let's say you don't have the 99-totem reward, the totems at all, and you don't include the drop as part of any achievement. you have less people playing that specific content, and stopping after 10 tries, 20 tries, 30 tries. actually giving up and doing something else.

i think a lot of people incorrectly view it as a safety valve. i see it as abusive of completionists. being guaranteed to get something after 99 tries isn't an act of mercy, it's a curse.
