Eleven Fajin boots!

I love your sense of art and style and emphasis in the OP. That alone would have netted you a "Like". But yeah, this is just stupid. Not surprising though. I'm hard pressed to remember the last smart thing they did.

Lets see... Me and a fellow blue mage getting bodies we actually wanted, needed, can use in voidwatch goes into the catagory of 1% of the time. People getting multiples and people getting something they cant use goes into the catagory of 99% of the time. Something wrong with this picture? I think so. My guess that this happens is because its just too complicated to write code for boxes to check every individual to make it so that multiple R/EX items don't appear in chest. So please Square Enix I and perhaps others that agree with me ask you to impliment a simple remedy to this disheartening and infuriating situation. This remedy is one you've done with Abyssea that was very very smart. Its called "Add spoils to pool".

SE allready has this sort of code implemented - remember Shinryu.

What about Shinryu? He has nothing to do with boxes <_<

Shinryu and a lot of abyssea mobs for that matter won't drop loot if everyone in the party already has it. I assume this was to stop people from shout selling stuff on a whim. Either way the server performs a check on what items everyone has at some point and prevents it from entering the pool. I'm sure that code could be copy/pasted to chests easily enough. Not that it would fix anything. The loot system would still be terrible. Now if it performed the check and instead of making an item just not pop in your chest it made it pop in someone else's if you already had it, that would be a different story.

That's something that has been in the game for damn near forever, as it applies to all rare/ex items that drop everywhere.

Shinryu and every single mob in the game for that matter won't drop loot if everyone in the party already has it.

Fixed that for you. You can't get a Rare drop in the pool if everyone in the party/alliance already has it. This is completely different from Treasure Boxes.

Seriously, its so insulting when you see a piece of R/EX you already got in your chest...such a waste. but i ll quote our good friend camate "its working as intended and a silver ore is your credit for winning!"

I've gotten 5 Ganesha's Masks. I didn't want any of them. The VW drop system is the worst drop system ever imagined. That is not an exaggeration. It is actually the worst drop system, in any game, ever.
