The "Greed" Mentality

[Wolfie]

Why should gear for leveling an alt or second class be more important than gaining seals or gil for your main?

Just depends on what your end game is which is why it goes to a greed vote

Not to mention, for people that have multiple or all 50's, how do you determine whether their "need for off class" is any different for "greed for vendor"? What would stop someone from rolling for off class on an item, then turning that item in for seals?

The need/greed/pass system is fine the way it is. OP just got frustrated that he kept losing greed rolls that he thinks he deserves more than others.

Fantastic point, one I did not consider, and the only worthwhile thing I've seen you post here.

Obviously no change to the loot system can address this. The problem actually lies in the fact that rare drops are tradable for minuscule amounts of company seals in the first place.

Ok, so say you can turn in one of these rare drops for 1k seals. Or 10k. Are you going to be any less frustrated? Somehow I doubt it.

Even if they increased seals for turn ins it would be temporary. The items would will rapidly become "worthless" for trade ins, because everyone would be flooded with company seals, rendering rolls on the items pointless.

The solution here is not your suggestion to fix the roll system, or for the community to "fix their mentality". You need to fix your own mentality and stop throwing a tantrum because you didn't win a roll on an item for the class you refused to play with.
