Thoughts on personalized loot?

But personalized loot is on the same table as dungeon loot for your class drops, meaning there's RNG and boss loot tables just excludes the others. Token systems are fine however the RNG in half this game has 7 items that can drop per class and 3 other items that cover another 7 which is a wopping 21 items that can drop. Put that in with a weekly raid like T9 and your chances are low (I'm including drk ast and mch weapons since they are classes that have new weapons too). Personalized loot would eliminate some rng to help get the items you want and if you didn't get that item you'd have another roll at additional tomes/ tokens if you didn't get that piece so it's like you didn't miss your loot lockout for nothing.

I agree with it's tougher to tweak the loot system if they did go this way as we only have 4 bosses with over 30 items of loot it'd have to limit it substantially. Meaning that if your personalized loot from 1st boss is gloves and belt you could take it, however with the weekly lockout it's more annoying because you could get a drop just for you from first that you needed or it'll be a drop from last boss.

They could even add an incentive that you do weeping city/alex savage and have chest/loot/roll lockout for extra manifestos/gobtwine/materia V but that'd have to be looked at really carefully. Just trying to think of ways people are rewarded while being able to raid and do weeklys to have more incentive and a better loot system.

Since they aren't putting weapons in dungeons anymore I don't see why they wouldn't keep the 2 loot drop at the end. Every dungeon in HW prior to 3.1 had 2 loot drops, a weapon and a armor piece. I don't see why it can be 2 pieces of armor instead. I've ran the dungeons at least once a day and sometimes 2-3 times if I feel lucky but I have yet to see it drop. It's drop rates like these that make me stop running dungeons all together after I get what I need because I don't want to deal with that type of grind for something I'm going to glamour only.

I would just like to see loot drop based on party composition. sucks doing several runs of something just to never see an item for your job.

See I dont support personalized loot but this is something I would actually like to see. Because your static SHOULD be rewarded by a clear with gear that at least someone in the group can use to help everyone else get ahead.

Ive found games that have "Personalized loot" are more like those korean cash shop games where you buy X items 100 times and 1 of those times it might be what you want. Its just a cheap feel and its much more of a headache than the current system. RNG also seems to feel a lot heavier with personalized loot.

100X this please.

I do not want personalized loot but i would definitely love a system where it prevents dropping of loot for jobs that are not even in the party at all.
