Thoughts on the Loot System

[Valmar]

I would like to get everyones thoughts on the Loot system, and how you would feel about a system like this;

SE should go the route of Gear tokens.

Gear Tokens just like the ones in Snowcloak, Sastasha and Sunken Temple, except mod them a tad.

The gear tokens will share a few classes like;

PLD/WAR/DRK
SCH/WHM/AST
BLM/SNM/BRD/MCH
MNK/DRG/NIN

Now these are just examples of the Job Groups, but this way loot will not be wasted as much, and it will still have the RNG factor if say your Healers alrdy have the Helm, and the healer Helm token keeps dropping.

So now no more Drg stuff dropping when no1 is a Drg Main.

Where as nothing will be wasted, and it's on the group to decide the path to gear everyone up.

*Edit*
Well Like some of you have stated what I have proposed is basically the same as it is know, but I am looking Forward to the future of FFXIV. but at the same time worried when more classes get released and we still have the same system we have now.

Imagine this.


WAR Warrior
SAM Samurai
RDM Red Mage

NIN Ninja
DRG Dragoon
MNK Monk
BST Beast Master

WHM White Mage
BLM Black Mage
SMN Summoner

SCH Scholar
AST Astrologian
PLD Paladin

BRD Bard
MCH Machinist
RNG Ranger
DRK Dark Knight

All these Classes Have been released and now you are raiding; for 5 weeks in a row you have been getting nothing but Rdm, Mch, Sam, Ast, and Drg gear. All the while no one in the raid is any of those classes.

Once more and more classes release they will need to Implement some kind of Token System.

Now what I mean by Token System is this.
You will notice I have grouped the classes into 3s or 4s.

When you kill a Boss in the raid say he drops an item called "Ancient Striker's Garb" *Chest Piece Token*, and it says Ninja, Dragoon, Monk, Beast Master. Those also being the only classes that can roll Need on the item.
You then take it to the Vendor and Turn the item in for either Nin, Drg, Mnk, or Bst Chest Piece. it would reduce the number of wasted loot drops, but at the same time keep that RNG Factor and slowed rate of gearing out your raid group.
