To be fair nobody in this game "needs" and Ifrit weapon. The ilvl 70 ones you can get from the marketboards are really cheap now and are better than Ifrit/Garuda weapons especially melded. So if I've been farming a primal all day for a glamour item then you can bet I'll be needing it when it drops no matter who else is in the party. It took me 24 attempts to get my BLM weapon from Ifrit back in the day, if I'd lost that lot (or passed) then it might have taken me another 24, I know some people have real horror stories about getting their drops from primals. My Garuda weapon was much worse, back then about 50% of the groups I had couldn't even beat it and the queue was 3 times as long as Ifrit.
Just because I have a higher geared character doesn't mean I have to spend an extra couple of days trying to get an item just so a newer player doesn't have to farm for an hour or two, or use some of the money they got from the main quest. That's not being selfish, it the DRG was doing the content just for the drop it's only fair he gets his chace to need it if it drops.

Communication would have helped here as well. OP assumed the other DRG wouldn't need it

Veteran Players are here to help New Players by preventing gear progression.
legit.

I'm sorry, but it might happen. It's better to assume that anyone on your class is going to lot then get your hopes up. If he took to the time to do the battle, then he deserves that chance to lot.
If you don't wanna run that chance, join an FC and ask for primal runs.

If you DF the Primal/Dungeon/Raid/anything don't expect anything from anyone in terms of loot, unless you state your intentions right of the bat. Of course this does not guarantee anything, but at least your not assuming that people are naturally considerate of others, they're not.
Personally, if I'm aching for a armor piece I would go through my FC, and suggest you do to if you can't nab it via DF, FC's tend to be invested in their peeps and will usually lend a hand.
In the end of the day loot is loot and if somebody contributed to the win, regardless of intentions (Vanity or actually need it) they are entitled to roll for it, system permitting.
I've been searching for my BRD boots in CT for weeks and keep on losing them to BRDS struting i90 boots soemtimes. It happens, just carry on.
