Raid gear

Hey. I just found out about aglaia. I just started playing ff14 when endwalker came out. After playing aglaia, i found out about the one loot per week rule AFTER I greeded on something i didnt even need. (What?!?! seriously??? why even have a greed option, then?)

I'm sick of spending weeks on here in pain because of rules that i am not used to and no way expected at all. I am used to world of warcraft's need button being on the right and pass on the left. Oh BOY GREAT DAY IF FF14 DOESNT PUT THEIR NEED BUTTON ON THE LEFT. I needed on something I didnt want, ran aglaia again, because I didnt even see the notification that I won a roll on something that I rolled a 20 on - pantheon robe of casting (YOU KNOW, THE ROBE EVERYBODY SEEMS TO WANT BUT I DONT AND I WON IT WITH A 20). I logged on monday after the maintenance thinking that ff14 decided to reset early, because on WoW, when they do maintenance, they do it on the same day of the reset so as not to minimize time. After coming home from work, I logged on and couldnt play because of the maintenance that i didnt even care about. Now it's tuesday and I come home from work and accidentally get something I didnt even need after being insanely angry yesterday that I wasted my time at some point doing an aglaia after maintenance thinking that i was going to get loot and the reset hadn't happened yet. Now the day had come, and I still wasted my time again and now apparently ANOTHER WHOLE WEEK! I ran aglaia after getting that peice of gear not knowing that I even got it, because I missed the notification due to all of the spam that happens because ff14's default window is too small and contains too many spam messages at one time, forcing people more quickly to separate windows in order to see things. (DIDNT EVEN HEAR THE JINGLE THAT COMES WITH RECEIVING A PEICE OF LOOT... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THATS WHTA I WAS LISTENING FOR)

Is there a place i can turn in this peice of gear and just go back and re run it for a chance to get something I actually want and not waste my time today.. I ran aglaia TWICE and now typing all of this when IM JUST ABOUT DONE WITH THIS GAME!

You can only get one drop in the raid each week. Don't roll on things you don't want like everyone else.

When a 24man is new it'll always be one gear piece a week. It even warns you in the loot menu that you can only get one piece.

Take it from someone who also came from WoW... Don't play XIV like it is WoW.

uh...OP?


you alright? Show us where FFXIV hurt you.

Live and learn. Just roll on things you want next time.

Are they spending so much time preventing bad results that they dont consider doing the polar opposite as well (every action, having an equal and opposite) by... you know.. allowing people who dont equip the gear because of a mistake made to turn it back in and in all fairness run this again because IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RESET and now ive got to wait again.... unfairly because somehow people dont know how to be honest in all their dealings and be real and sincere to one another... causing every game in existence to set up rules to prevent people from being horrible to one another.. why not consider those who don't do those things and let us have something from this game? I mean i loved this game and all but here lately im seriously so struggling inside of myself as to what to do right now because stuff like this just sends me over the edge and... i mean you guys dont know my history in games and what all i did on wow. I ... i cant even begin please dont make me have to type it all im just saying there needs to be something. Heck, I even looked this up on google to see if maybe there was a way to upgrade it to make it useful (long shot since i already have a 600 chest peice and won a 590 from the raid) i mean really wowww... thats where i learned its "highly sought after" what a way to rub it in. i dont even want it?!

OP what in the seven hells are you talking about?

reworded : is the development team spending so much time and energy trying to prevent bad results from players (people who keep being toxic, therefore they ban add ons... people who abuse systems... they set up rules... people who ruin the game... so they set up rules for raiding... people who might progress too fast for how the game is suppsoed to be played... so they limit gear) that they dont even consider people who might not be trying to do those things... maybe spend some time thinking about people who arent trying to ruin the game for others. like, "oh, you know what? we have noticed there are some people who are getting items other people wanted due to mistakes... maybe we can allow them to trade unwanted items to others who rolled for it instead of making them run it again for another shot at that loot if they so choose and making the other person LIKE ME have to WAIT ANOTHER WEEK to go and get something they ACTUALLY WANT) are they not thinking of things like that because they are spending so much time preventing bad people from being bad? This isnt fair or right and it prevents progress. Everything in the world and life is so bad because people are bad that everything is literally preventing all progress for humankind on earth.


actually no im not going to keep typing and explaining. open your mind and dont ask for me to further explain

answer the question or dont. this is too much to have to do

there's a question?

it was even separated for you. Can you read?

ohh would you look at there, for those with higher levels of people skills, a discerning person can empathize with the underlying problem that (if there was a solution) could be solved. but let's troll instead, because we are cool

I mean, there doesn't need to be anything to fix your mistake. Things happen. We're only human, after all. As far as some sort of exchange...sure, I could get behind that, but perhaps it could be in the form of a special currency. Trading one piece of gear for another takes away from how the system is designed, and it works just fine for what it is. I've been in your shoes before. It's unfortunate, but life goes on.

I'll be honest, your situation is a first for me since I dont think anybody ever goes into raiding "accidentally" rolling for loot they cant equip.

1. Aglaia is the current alliance raid tier, so the content is padded out to ensure the activity doesnt just completely die out within a month or so. If you were able to bis gear up your character in just a few days by running current raids repeatedly then that invalidates the longevity of the content. This was the case for Pandaemonium Normal gears where the token items you acquire were only limited weekly, but now that new and better gear is out they lifted that restriction.

2. Greed option is there because people can obtain gear for alt jobs. If the raid gated you to being able to only acquire item pieces your current job can only equip then that makes gearing up other classes a hassle, since not everyone wants to feel forced to run content on a job they might not have the required item level to enter.

3. Blaming the devs for not being able to address every single little issue over others is disingenuous. Now I totally understand some of the more popular problems this game have been a thing people were waiting (and still are) for them to fix for a looooong time, and thats perfectly valid. But Its kinda petty and childish on your part to whine about them not fixing your problem over others.

4. Now you know how current raiding gearing works. You almost always only allowed one item upgrade a week till a new tier drops. The best I would suggest if you're being very genuine over your "greed' mistake is to go to a GM and explain the situation. I'm not sure if they'll be able to help you about maybe retrying this week for an item you need but it doesnt hurt to ask as long as you're not...well...basically as long as you dont type it out in the rabid way like you did here with this thread lol.

Why come to the fourms to complain about this? It isn't gonna do anything. You failed to read that it's one piece per week. Learn from it and try again in 7 days.

I mean.. its right there, big yellow letters above the loot window. It sucks, but you rolled on the gear without reading.. The game specifically warns you about it. There's no choice but to just wait till next week.

Live and learn, and my god man, take a breath.

I find "Greed" a very useful option. I really only have time to run Aglaia once a week, and I simultaneously gear up a tank, healer, and RDM - so if a piece drops for one of those other classes besides the one I'm running, I'll Greed it.

now that's a question.

Reset day is Tuesday and usually maintenance is on a Tuesday, but this was an emergency maintenance to fix a bug.

The newest content only gives you gear on a 1-per-week basis. Once that gear is no longer relevant or a new version of that content is released, the loot restrictions get removed.

Need is only available if you are on the class that the gear is for, otherwise you can only Greed. The Greed roll will only happen if the people who can Need choose to Pass.

It doesn't matter because you can just buy 580 crafted gear from the market board and then visit Radz-at-Han to upgrade all of it to 590, the same item level as the loot you get from Aglaia.

The normal raids (released in sets of 4) have a weekly loot restriction on each floor for a few months, but this has since been removed. The savage versions of those only let you have a chance to roll on the loot each week and even if you pass, you can't roll again that week. The weekly cap on the tomestones of 450 lasts for 8 months until a new tomestone releases and this cap effectively limits you to one piece of gear a week.

I mean... yeah. You made a mistake. Now you know better to not blindly roll. It's been this way since long time ago.

Yes, that's it. I also don't like some loot rules, for example that in savage we have only 1 loot chance per clear per week, instead of 1 item per week. But that's another topic. In general we have to read and if we fail on this so we learn. :')

I made the same mistake when I was new.
You live and learn.

theres always next week

Alternatively you could begin clearing asphadelos savage mode for quality raid gear if that suits your fancy

I'm sure it happened to me too as I was new. But man why get so upset? Take a break, the game is fun. WoW does have weekly loot too, at least in mythic content. Ok maybe they changed it, my last WoW experience was 3 years ago.

And work at your wording. We are persons here and not NPCs.

Well, 2 completely different games by different developers. Why would you expect the loot rule and the game play to be the same is beyond me really.

I wish we could trade in the alliance raid coins for gear from that alliance raid. I dont really care about 600 gear on alt jobs but I do care about the fashion.

Rant aside, I do think an option to exchange the gear for one similiar would be good. (Ie ie Chest for chest) but if they added it i think it should be added to the old tier stuff and not the current one.

Meanwhile, I'm over here in the corner trying to read the walls of text complaining, just saying "yikes."

There is or was this assumption in the WoW community that all other MMOs are WoW clones. So most WoW refugees come here and may treat XIV like it is WoW and that's one of the biggest mistakes a WoW player new to XIV can do.

One week or two on a piece of gear won't make or break anything kupo so don't fret and it will come around again <3 kupo

Looks like post "Game is bad cause i read nothing",it clearly writed in discription in duty finder Rewards obtainable:weekly.Why you greeded for something if not wanted that,greed means you get that loot if no one else wants,if you no need press pass.

My first alliance raid was Void Ark back when it was new. I wasnt paying attention, and blindly hit greed for both drops from the first boss. I won a pair of dragoon boots(6 years later, i still havent even UNLOCKED the class - so obviously not something that benefited me), and subsequently realized i could no longer win a piece for my BLM that week. I never made that mistake again. Oh wait, yes i did. In my first run of Raba. And MAYBE my first run of Factory. This was the first expansion that i know for a fact that i didnt accidently roll on a piece i didnt want my first run.
