I'll probably get shouted at for this but I have a question or rather a suggestion for ROCT.
When you finish the quest, you'll randomly receive one out of a few weapons or a PD. Unfortunately, most of the weapons aren't too useful:
Yasminkov 9000 - The one weapon everyone really wants from this quest
Red Sword - Quite decent for HUs who don't have any of the stronger alternatives.
Yasha - I guess it's nice to be able for people to get it "easily" this way... but you don't see many players using Sange&Yasha
NUG Bazooka - outclassed by Iron Faust and Cannon Rouge (not even mentioning the even stronger RA multitarget weapons), therefore you don't see anyone using this
Samba Maracas - looks nice but base ATP/ATA are 10 only, so even with high hit it is pretty useless, just novelty value
Raikiri - again, looks kinda nice but not very practical. Novelty at best or if you need another option to lower your HP via special.
Valkyrie - Single target weapon for FOs. Decent ATP but that's it. No special. No reason to use.
Earth Wand Brownie - nice ATP and looks like a double saber but isn't one. Special steals HP. No reason to use.
Evil Curst - single target FO weapon with high ATP. But it can't combo and the special is low level Megid. Again, no reason to use.
So, what we've got reflects the class disparity rather well. The most desirable weapon is for RAs, who just happen to be the best overall classes on Ultima, especially with that broken Dark Meteor. The runner-up is the Red Sword, then we got a few other so-so weapon usable by various classes and at the bottom end we have the most useless ones: FO-exclusive.
Since it requires a dedicated team with a bit of knowledge and skill to clear ROCT in a satisfactory way (read: not with 50 deaths and running out of time), it would be nice if the rewards were a bit more evenly balanced towards all classes so everyone can get something they actually will want to use. Most of the time you'll wish you got the Photon Drop instead. I'm nost asking for super powerful and broken weapons, but something that isn't guaranteed to gather dust in your characters' bank. Something along the lines of Vivienne, Last Swan/Master Raven (or even Frozen Shooter, even though that's RA again), for example.
Again, this isn't a rant, just a suggestion.
