I seriously hate the loot system for Crystal Tower.

[Vhailor]

One item per week is stupid for a multitude of reasons.

2. People don't roll need on items they genuinely need because they're looking for a specific slot, perhaps to cure their case of clown disease.
3. People accidentally roll greed because the game allows this everywhere else without any penalty and end up with items they didn't actually need but can't loot anything else for the week.

Let's not forget the huge silver lining, though - you can actually aim for loot outside your class, and have a realistic hope in hell of getting a set. You can also almost surely acquire a piece once per week without too much spamming, as once people have theirs, your competition lessens.

In short, I find #2 and #3 to be huge bonuses. Forcing people to prioritize what gear they want gives everyone a reasonable shot at items, rather than just the people who spam the dungeon a dozen times or more a week. And I hate the random Greed rolls people toss off everywhere. That this effectively prevents them is a godsend. Sure, there's issues with it, but overall I think it's a reasonable compromise. Better than Bahamut's lockout method, anyway.

I've dropped a full set of gear on the floor my Bard could have used. It seems like such a waste to let items go like that when you could have just simply greeded them if nobody really wanted it.

The good thing about CT lockout is that people won't abandon the content after they got all their armor after a few weeks.

And even with lockout is fun content that gives a decent amount of Phy and Myth stones.

But I guess ppl prefer to burn this content in 2 weeks and keep doing their boring SR WP speed runs over and over.

You are right but.. now they abandon the content after they get there drop and that hurts more than after they farmed everything they wanted.

How does that make any difference? Players get locked to 1 item a week and then never do labyrinth again when they're done. Players dont get locked to 1 item a week and they shower themselves with gear and then gear up all their combat classes with i80 and i90s within a couple weeks and then never do labyrinth again. So where is the difference other than consumption rate? Players dont do the content if they dont get rewarded, just like how they avoid certain content because another content that is easier provides the same type of reward.

Obviously no one every heard of ACGTPTAOPPIOTCFASDC

Even though Doctor Mog quoted it , we may need an acronym that is more catchy.

last i checked people in lv90 gear was doing CT for the lv80 gear. now you have 8 jobs 5 pieces of gear a piece means it will take you 40 weeks to get all 8 jobs geared up. its SE trying to make you sub and have content on monday then nothing tuesday-sunday. they couldnt care if you got anything as long as that sub money is rolling in. the game does not have any form of structure its instant gratifaction BS there own fault making everything tooooo easy. kill a easy boss get gear.

people just have to get tomestones to gear up and dont have to do anything after that either.

1. People don't roll greed, so items get wasted.

I don't understand when people say this. You realise these aren't real items, don't you? There aren't hundreds of pairs of Royal Shoes or Crimson Vests all rotting in Yoshi-P's basement.

I am pretty annoyed with the loot system. I was in Crystal Tower the other night, and I got a random 90k disconnect. I had that error where you can't get back into the game for an eternity, and when I finally logged back in, my disconnected character had obtained a piece of gear from Crystal Tower that I did not want or need, because I was not in the game to press pass. I was very annoyed, and decided not to do crystal tower again for a really long time. I had completed that tower 20+ times without seeing a single piece of my gear drop, and didn't roll on anything, and now I have to wait a week to get a new piece.... Plus the fact crystal tower seems to be a high drama troll fest most of the time... I don't really want to start lvling a new class anymore... I may stick to one Job and lvl crafting classes. :/

It's long, but I think it's catchy!
