[dev1007] Voidwatch: Obtaining Spoils

Honestly, for things like Fafnir it should really be "if you want it and you popped it, it's yours." Same deal for Nidhogg.

There's no reason to force people to share drops from low mannable monsters that you choose to do with a linkshell. The story always ends with a small number of people who farm pops in the linkshell and a large number of people who leech.

Thanks for thinking I'd be a good fit though guys. I'm honored. I just don't really feel like regularly dealing with an alliance worth of people anymore though. hermit@<3

Normally, I would agree with you, but then the question is...what ISN'T low-mannable in this game anymore, except VW and certain Arch-Dynamis bosses? That is why we have a rule for popped mobs in LS, that if you pop it in shell you choose one drop after you see the loot pool (or in Abyssea one type of drop, i.e., you can lot all trinkets or Magian items of the same type). This way we give at least some incentive for dragging the entire LS out to do a lowmannable mob during event time.

This actually works for Fafnir or Nidhogg too, because odds are only ONE thing of value will drop from it anyway, and that will be yours because you get your first pick of the pool. I have never heard a single testimonial of a Ridill and Sweet Tea dropping off the same Fafnir, but if it were to do so, the person popping Faf would have to choose between one or the other. I think that is fair. If the person wants all drops to himself, they could just kill Faf with 2-3 people outside LS event time.
