"Terrible Idea" does not begin to describe the CT loot system in reality.

[Gardes]

So far I'm fine with the current system. I got my item for this week and I'd go again for my FC if there's enough people around but I'd rather not spam CT too much for more than 1 item a week because I hate people in the alliance that are not in my FC.

Really hate them.

Don't worry, all those CT drops are together in armour heaven.

Lol not armor heaven! That's full of AK/WP gear! Who want's to be with them!

[Ferocious]

Loot lockout is FAR better than instance lockout system. Infinitely better. It's just that SE decided to be cheap and gave us only 1 item limit. Should be 3 items lockout in my opinion, so you gear up in full ilvl80 in a month rather than 3 months.

I planned on gearing alt jobs with CT, but in the end I will get them geared faster and to higher gear levels from just myth grinding in the new higher cap and from continuing to run coil after main jobs are geared.

CT has no purpose with this kind of lockout other than to do a quest. It's disappointing, but luckily a lot of other cool stuff is added in 2.1. I am safely able to ignore CT and Housing and continue to enjoy the game at the moment.

Call me back when CT doesn't have stupid lockout rules.

I just wanted to requote it in that this is probably the best way to deal with it. All these people are waiting on messed up fate timers to run an instance just to pass on most drops.

Letting loot rot is always silly.

Hopefully they'll adjust the number of rolls you get a little and it won't be so bad. It's just probably one of those things they'll let sit awhile rather than hotfixing.

In all seriousness though it's mostly vanity gear at this point I know there are people that need the gear, yes I get it. I think the lock out is as silly as the next guy but still I'm gonna run CT even without the reward. Although someone in my last CT got a piece and just outright left which is why I don't like that system it's kinda dumb...but meh. All in all CT isn't that hard but maybe a less harsh loot lock out would be nice cause by the time you get 2 CT pieces it can be replaced by a myth piece.

Lockout should be for Need only. Seeing items burn is a disgrace. I don't know how Yoshi can play the game and think this is a good idea. This screams to me that he doesn't actually play his own title, cuz if he went through this experience he'd know how stupid it is to watch people burn items they know they'll want next week, just for the hope of something today. It's a gambling system. It's manipulative to the player, and I really hope it's not an intentional design to do this to the community just to extend the carrot-on-a-stick approach. Everything from how the fates seem to keep people from getting into CT seems to malevolent in its intent, because it's all beneficial to SE and not the player.

I passed on a lot of BRD stuff just for the hope of getting the BRD chest. It really pains me to see it drop knowing I'm gonna want it next week...100% Agree with everything you posted +1

That is true, while you are not wrong I just don't see the point in rolling an alt when I can get every class to 50 on one character. I'm not disagreeing with you at all but just bummed WOL armor looks smexy but BRD too I want it all! Q.Q

[LiadansWhisper]

I'm still not sure why they didn't limit it to one chance at loot per boss, just like Coils.
