I am infuriated and in tears, about to quit again

[Spoekes]

Should the OP have gone in as Bard: YES
Is the OP exaggregating: YES

Should someone who joined in when the Boss-Gates are already up be able to roll: NO, I don't think so.

This is the underlying problem and if you imagine this same situation with a piece both could have needed for, it really sucks.

I don't know why everyone is being such an ass to the OP. If you were in his shoes and someone who literally did nothing and joined while the boss gate was up, then won what you had been farming for for a long time - you too, would be upset. It's the same as someone who has never cleared an EX primal before joining a farm group, lying about the clear, gets carried then wins the pony. Annoying, right? Upsetting for those that are trying genuinely for the pony and aren't asking for carries, right? It's the same for OP.

Meh it's happened to everyone. Do you see this forum flooded with these posts?

Uh, yeah? We all know. We also don't really care. It happens. Take your lumps and either keep trying or do something else. No point whining about it here.

If you don't care then don't respond and milk the thread.

Not caring doesn't mean we're going to sit around watching a sympathy circle jerk of whiners flood the forums.

(Everyone has been outlotted on something they want, if you are so affected by that that you're ready to quit after it happens once, MMOs might not be for you.)

Okay. Don't watch it then, ignore it. What's your point?

Ignoring something doesn't teach anyone anything.

are you comparing Towers with EX primals? RLY?

I'm comparing the morality of the loot drops, which is the same no matter what you're running; Towers, Coil, EX primals.

If you expect loot drops to be fair, start a PF group. Using Duty Finder and complaining about losing a lot is absolutely pointless and so self-satisfying it's actually worse than the people who lot on items after joining on the last boss.
