Eleven Fajin boots!

In that case, I'd take the super low drop rate (not that the drop rate isn't pretty damn bad already) any day. So at least when the item drops, it'll go to someone who wants it and can equip it.

I'd honestly rather have more of the item produced. It's not like someone who can't use it yet can't save it for later.

Think about it. if the overall chance of you personally getting the item is the same by either method (Unless you go with people who will let you have the drop no questions asked), wouldn't it be better to see more of that item go around and have it be less rare overall?

Obviously I'd rather have both good drop rates and be able to choose who gets it. But as far as SE is concerned, you tend not to be able to have your cake and eat it too.
