[Suggestion] an alternattive to the 2b coffer

[reivaxe]

As it is now it's actually a really well designed system if you come at it with that big brain dev juice.
It's all designed to keep you coming back. And not even in some evil way.

24mens are loooong and tiring, if people were just given a guaranteed token to buy ilvl 460 gear of their choice there would be no incentive for most to repeat between the weeks. Repeat players come with more experience and faster clears, which also in-turn helps newer people throught context and following patterns seen in the group. So it's in their best interest to convince people to come back through out the week, tis why we get random gear drops.

As for 2B it's kinda really interesting. They have guaranteed that 3 will be given out at the end of the fight ... which, barring lots of people winning 2 or all 3, it would seem likely that the number of people who do these raids and already have 2B will increase week to week as they return for their gear drop. And AFAIK there's no reselling it or giving it away so if you did get 2B and you're back on your 2nd week for gear, you'd have zero reason to roll on it. You could legit have a raid where most people there already have it in 2 weeks and they're only there for the gear drops. You can also have people like myself who are ok with rerunning the raid after getting both Gear Top and 2B because it would help their friend out to to have a person on the team they know wont roll need on things because they simply can't.

The only issue with the coffers is the fact that someone who has won and opened it already, can then just continue to run the raid, and roll/win a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc etc as there is no 'cap' on how many coffers you can win as long as you don't have one in your inventory. So someone could win, open, put the outfit on a retainer. rerun the raid.. win another.. do the same.. etc. etc there is potential for griefing that square really should of anticipated. Do I expect it it to be rampant? not at all.. but we all know there are players out their that just really would do it to be.. well jerks.

At least the theory of it is sound. my boyfriend one a coffer on his first run. We ran 3 more runs afterwards and he was able to roll on a coffer on the following run (though he would then pass on his roll to not screw someone else over).

I heard about the outfit dropping from a chest and I raised my eyebrow. When I did the raid myself, I got surprised when I saw it dropped 3 chests. So, there are plenty of chances to get them, which will only increase overtime. I doubt that many people can be malicious enough to loot on a chest with glam gear they don't need anymore. While there may be cases, I doubt it will be a noticeable amount.
