Update notes/teasers?

I'd say the drop system is fine just need a way to "pool" a drop you don't want/need.

As it is it is a very earnest attempt to reward every player individually, but falls on its ass when you realize Career-WHM A has gotten 4 Radiant F mails while the WAR/DD hasn't gotten 1. The Ability to pool a drop you don't want/need won't break the damn event

Personally I don't mind it.
It means I have a chance at getting some gear for myself, without having to share it and wait my turn for my own.
If they let us pool drops, I doubt they'll keep the same drop rates for anything good. An LS could take 18 people for 18 chances to get 1 person the item, etc.

I'm not asking to remove the current system, You can still enjoy hoarding your own drops.

I meant that, as it stands, I feel that pooling should be an option regardless... No fun doing an event 20 times for 1 item you never get, when the other guy has tossed 4 of them. It should not be mandatory but how is using a Linkshell to help a linkshell member something that should be considered against?

This is why I suggest a "Token" system, instead of "HERE WHM MAIN WITH ONLY MAGE JOBS, TAKE SOME RADIANT MAIL FOR FUNZIES"

Probably wanted to stop people from selling drops. See:

-atheling mantle
-various coins/stones/cards etc

I do agree it is pretty senseless to force people to not share loot though.
