Dynamis: way too much junk.

[Yinnyth]

How can we pool and distribute if it force-autosorts anyways? For that matter, how do you break a hundo in Jeuno/Xarc/Beauc/CoP runs? Just bank it until the bank has 100 singles?

Edit: I also have a -enmity set for WF in VW. Just incase you wanted more material for something to ridicule me about, Nynja.

pool currency...random for 100(s), split rest of currency to remaining people....DERP

last I checked it's 2012 and dynamis still requires 40+ ppl to do??? from the way you make it sounds like you really need these 40 ppl to make these successful runs but yet you cannot get these same people that you somehow not able to be successful without to NOT learned how to pass?

I'm sorry I just are still stuck at the fact that you're an experienced ls but can't get ppl to learn how to pass.

Removing the crafting materials from the more difficult monsters wouldn't be a bad idea, even though I think removing anything beyond that would be pretty extreme.

If items should be removed just because people find them annoying, then over half the equipment in FFXI should be removed because dumb and/or confused people annoy others by wearing it.

So it's lol to let currency fall, but it's derp if you don't /random for hundos? Yeah... /random is the same as letting currency fall, and hundos are the most hotly contested type of currency which drops from Dynamis. You also have yet to answer how the hell I'm supposed to lot the currency when there's 9 pieces of AF in the pool.

Just curious, but can you juggle 1 ball? Ok, now juggle 60. It's a matter of magnitude. YES IT'S EASY TO PASS ONE ITEM, BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO PASSING 1 PIECE OF AF ON 2 CHARS EVERY 50 SECONDS. They'd have to use LL to do that without diminishing their ability to pay attention to what's going on, and at least one of them plays on PS2, and yet another refuses to use LL because he thinks it's cheating.

Edit: It's obvious now that you're only reading the parts you want to read. My LS --USED-- to have 40+ people in it, but now has far fewer. I don't know where you saw me saying we currently have a group of more than 2 alliances for 2012 current-day Dynamis, but the truth is, we don't have that many people.

Are you fkn stupid or just trolling? You pool all the currency at the end of the run. If you got any 100s, you have your 18 zergs random for it, and then whatever extra is split amongst the remaining 17.

Is that really that complicated?

Again, where the hell did I say I have 18 people? We're lucky to have 6 on a run. And if a person lets hundos go random, why not just let it all go auto? That means less work for me, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE BY ASKING FOR THE LOOT POOL TO CHILL SO I CAN PASS COINS ON MY SECOND CHAR AND LOT FORGS TO SORT TO OUR MEMBERS AT THE END OF THE RUN. I hate pooling stuff at the end, it takes time. That's one of the major reasons I started this thread in the first place.

With 6 people theres no way you're getting that much of a drop rate on AF-1 that currency is being forced out before you can pass lol. I'm aware of where we are posting, but since you're 2boxing, I think its safe to presume you're on a pc...it shouldnt be that hard for you to pass currency on your alt (I refuse to say anything more).

NQ AF is the biggest problem for us, thus my revised OP. Yes, -1 stuff is annoying, but it's not nearly as common as nq. The pop items are also annoying because they're rare, so they can also stack up and push out currency, but not half the annoyance that AF is. Tonight's turnout was 5 people, and I let our heavy DD come blu for fun. During the farmtime, we averaged around 6 pieces of ra/ex stuff in the pool, 8 was our highest point that I noticed. I don't think a casually-formed party of players with no heavy DDs should be capable of filling the loot pool with 8 ra/ex items in Dynamis unless they come from an exceedingly hard boss which merits taking the time to stop and sort them out.

Perhaps another solution would be to simply expand the loot pool to 20 spaces and only allow ra/ex stuff to take up the first 10 slots. Would this be more to your liking than changing the distribution and drop rates of Dynamis? I fear it would take more programming time on SE's part, but I'd be all for anything which gets this problem off my back.
