Another night, another disappointment, getting tired

Another long night with no Dancer drops in Dynamis... I've lost track of the last time any Dancer relic actually dropped in Dynamis. I don't know the people waiting for Hachiryu armor in ZNMs stand it... with the even lower drop rate there. I'm about ready to give up on Dynamis (and by extension, most of FFXI) with this stupid low random drop rate system.

22 people, 9 AF drops over 3 hours. That's 9 AF for 66 man-hours of work. At US minimum wage levels, that's 9 AF spread across ($7.25 x 66) = $478.50 of work, or $53.17 per AF piece. I'm fairly certain that most people going to Dynamis are worth more than minimum wage, so double/triple/quadruple that as you see fit.

Anyway, vote on the poll to the right. I'll see if I'm in the mood to do anything on FFXI tonight... might be my first chance to level PLD since last week, but with the game reaching retirement, I'm getting tired again and losing motivation to login.

On a different note... I figure more "off-topic" posts might be less depressing. Any suggestions on what I should talk about?

You pay for the fun! The AF is free ......

But if the fun runs out and the only reason you're doing it for AF, then the AF is no longer free!

I'm holding off on the poll voting. My vote is dependent on if you'll be playing at the same rate as you do now.

Hmm... assume i'll continue my current rate of attending virtually every single Dynamis.

That means about 100 dynamis runs between now and when FFXIV is released.

And... the fun has mostly run out now... kinda why I started asking to be main assist... and hopefully sometime once I finish PLD it'll put *some* interesting things to do back into Dynamis
