Indeed. The irony is that the Adventurer in Need fluctuates to tank sometimes for Alliance Roulette. In a few cases, more that I thought it would.

I also believe All Greed is bad. RNGesus is bad enough but now if I'm on BLM and Need the caster body i have to compete with a Tank for it? Really? Having to compete with other casters in Need is meh enough. The process to acquire the pieces you want is now going to be even slower, plus we STILL have a weekly loot lockout...what in Altena's name were they thinking?
This is a terrible change that will only make it harder to get gear and cause more animosity between players. Unless there is more we don't know, like if every chest is going to drop 8 items per party at once from now on. Although even then it'd probably somehow just be 8 belts half the time...
Super bad idea. For many reasons, already stated by other users. I hope SE don't implement this crap.
lol This is a stupid idea.
If they indeed implement this change I won't be ever running 24-man raids more than once a week for the coin on reset day.
I am sure a lot of other people will do that as well, and since leveling players queueing for alliance roulette will never end up in SB raids queues can possibly get very nasty if you wait too long to do it after the weekly reset.
I’m very opposed to this. If you want a piece of gear, you should roll the job the piece of gear is for. Why make it harder for people that main a certain job and are actually seeking to gear it up (for those who don’t do Savage) for Jimmy that wants tank gear...but doesn’t want to actually play his tanks?
Another bad idea. Greed only, no. Just NO.
It's probably because they think they're giving it longevity, since it'll be 10x harder to be sure you get your piece every week. How hard is it for them to realise that forcing people into repeating the same thing ad nauseam is the surest way to burn them out even faster than it already does? Especially given how resentful we'll be after we've lost a piece we need 5-10 times to somebody who "just likes how it looks" or "wants it for when their [class] gets to 70".
I don't resent when other folks of my class get my item (even if they didn't need it.) I will resent this.
Just chiming in to say this is dumb. Doesn't solve any issue with loot dropping to the ground because of the weekly cap. And makes the already tedious glam farm just not even worth it.
