I joined a Sophia Extreme farm group today in Party Finder, the comment in the Party Finder said that weapons will be distributed through lootmaster and the bird mount would be greed roll meaning anyone can roll on it. Unfortunately, a weird situation happened. As soon as we killed the boss, our White Mage disconnected from the game. When we opened the loot chest, a Sophic Lanner Whistle dropped. Everyone else but four people (the disconnected WHM was still in the party) left the instance because they weren't interested in the bird or already have it.
Our Scholar was the lootmaster and party leader, he put the bird as greed roll and we rolled on the Sophic Lanner Whistle. However, since the WHM disconnected the loot didn't go to anyone. It seems like we had to wait for the disconnected WHM to reconnect for the loot roll to go through.

Unfortunately, the disconnected WHM never came back. I asked what the SCH rolled and he said he rolled a 93. I don't know if he actually rolled a 93 since the game never told us his actual roll number, all it said was he rolled on the item and that's it. I myself rolled a 63. The other player rolled too but I have no idea what was his actual number. As time passed waiting for the WHM to come back, there was a message from the game saying that the instance would expire in about 5 minutes. There is also no loot timer when under master looter. We didn't know what would happen if the instance expired. We assumed that the instance would end and no one gets the loot. So, I asked the SCH lootmaster for us to do /random to see how much we roll and whoever gets the highest number wins the bird, but he declined. After another minute passed, the SCH stuck with his claim that he rolled a 93 suddenly gave the bird to himself and left the instance.

There was no message indicating that he rolled a 93 or what the other player or myself rolled in the chat log since the WHM never reconnected so the greed roll never passed, the lootmaster basically gave the bird to himself. This whole incident would have never occurred if the game told us what number the player rolled as soon as they hit the greed option instead of after the item is won. Please consider implementing this change as it doesn't seem too difficult to add and it would solve future incidents like this.

I never, ever join lootmaster rules in pf. Need> Greed is much more fair imo than trusting someone you may not know to handle the loot properly

Even if you had seen the numbers, nothing would have stopped the lootmaster from giving it to themself if they wanted to.

10-07-2016, 10:40 PMNiwashiIf the party was set under lootmaster rules, this should have been the pattern from the beginning for anything you were going to roll on. (And in a case like this with a missing member, someone could have done an extra /random roll on behalf of your missing WHM.) I'm not sure why you would have used the game's Greed options when loot distribution wasn't set to use that anyway.Quote:

Bit late but could even have done a /random.
