U/U gear from Stronghold/Ifrit chests end up in inventory?
Not sure about Ifrit 45 loot (but if I understood well from some posts, yes too), but when you open a coffer in one of the strongholds all the items end up in the player's inventory, not in his loot. This applies, of course, to U/U (R/E) gear too, so if a player gets from the coffer an item he/she doesnt need, he/she cant pass it to another player in his/her party.
That's stupid imho and should be addressed asap. At least U/U items should go in the member (who opens the coffer)'s loot.
