A proper looting system?

[Wynn]

I wish everyone would stop worrying about what other people get for loot. Is this a manifestation of horrible jealousy and entitlement? If someone gets the random drop, who is anyone else to demand that item? It isn't like people can't switch jobs on the fly, you know. Does it matter if that glad got a con body? How do you know they can't or won't use it now or in the future? How are you more entitled to it then they are? I mean, if people are willing to say "here, have my item" great, but it shouldn't be expected nor should SE change the game to accommodate that kind of mindset. I really don't get it.

XIV should do it the way DDO does it. Loot drops in the chest for everyone in the party.

This is not how guilds functions.

The purpose of an endgame guild to come together as a group and become stronger over time, letting it be trully random is the most counter productive thing that can happen. I can almost 100% guarantee any serious endgame guild can agree to this... if they don't I question if they will last more then a few drops, will be internal drama like mad.

If you are in an endgame situation and you take an item that you are not up for it is theft regardless if SE's random thing gives it to you.

My ls we instantly kick you from the LS if you intentional take something that is not going to you (Includes afking after it drops), and plaster your name on many different sites to try to make sure we completely ruin your game experience on the server.. fairly standard policy as well I think. Sounds harse but then again need to make sure that person doesn't screw over another LS doing the same thing.

Good for you. Your LS seems super organized and runs with set rules which people agreed to in order to join. You certainly don't need the game to run your loot system nor does everyone else need to follow your LS's rules.
