Master Loot System

[Chiramu]

Master Loot system would be too confusing to work with the Duty Finder. I most certainly would not like some random in charge of who gets loot. This only works with pre-made groups, and if you are a pre-made then you will be discussing loot regardless.

There is really no other reason to implement this loot feature.

Not necessarily. It could be predetermined what loot you wish to roll for. The groups I have run with all pretty much agree that you either roll on the loot for the role you're currently playing, or a different role you would prefer but didn't play as for that run. However, freedom to roll for multiple roles is usually considered unfair.

So, that should solve the problem you have with the idea.

Actually no, because my point wad that because everyone could use everything, there's more incentive for the loot master to take all the loot and run.

For current 8-man premade groups master loot isnt really needed. Everything can be agreed on via chat/ts/forum. It could be more usefull in serious one-party 24 man raids, where it would be convinient to have a loot master anyway.

This is another issue altogether. I agree that this would be a common occurrence with the the current GM attitude. However, implementing a system like master looter would require SE to completely change their philosophy on player interactions. In essence, there should be a flat-out "don't ninja" policy. For example, loot drops. Player A wins the /random roll, and the loot should go to him. The master looter instead just takes the item and runs. The current GM philosophy is that every player has the right to take any item. But in the case of this example, the correct GM action would be to remove the item from the master looter's inventory, award the item to the player that won the roll, and issue a 7-day ban to the master looter who ninja'd the item. It's not like all the relevant information couldn't be found in the logs. The GMs are currently just too lazy to do something like this.

Lord > Hey Ehayte, i noticed you Greed on Allagan Blank of Blank, do you even have Blank leveled???
Ehayte > Oh Snap, nope sorry, didn't mean to, let me pass RQ before you lot.
Lord > Thanks bruhbruh

Yeah that is something different that what I was talking about. Being able to see others' lots is a great idea, I was just saying you CAN pass after you lot by leaving the zone, as long as not everyone has rolled on the loot, so you have that option already.

Being able to change your main roll to a job other than your current would be a much better option than a loot master.

How often would loot master really be a viable option? You don't trust the other people not to roll on your item, but everyone in the group will be fine with one person choosing who gets a drop?

Matser loot system are great for established static groups as they can hand out loot better/easier, but it are no work for pugs (most game with master loot are disable it and default for need/greed).

The more important loot system we are need currently are ability to TRADE gear for a short time after obtain (and before use), for when mistake are happen.

worst suggestion EU.

Master Loot would be quite handy for Treasure Map groups. Leader uses map, leader gets drops. Player passes leader to next person to use a map. Rinse and repeat.

[Jonjon]

We should be able to see who is lotting and what they number they rolled. Also a Basic Item Loot Queue, Not just items drop and they are randomly placed into a persons inventory. I don't want anymore bone chips damnit!

The game tells you who rolled what on what in the chat log. Simply look at your chat window with the proper options enabled and you will see Player x rolled need 96 on Thing of awesomeness +3.
