    How is this "new" system flawed looks like the same system they have always had.

    The loot from chests are now random. Theoretically you could get a scouting belt x2 from every boss now, at least that's how it seems to work.

    they are not random, the belt comes from 2 of the 4 bosses. every item can drop from 2 of the bosses. the only problem is when the same item drops more than once in the same run, it's possible that one item can drop 4x in one run.

    I think the idea behind the system is fine but there might be some issues with the algorithm for choosing items from the pool.

    double drops seems way too common to be normal

    I thought I was the only one.. but Ive done the new dungeons a few times, and VA twice now.. and I kid you not but the exact SAME items dropped for each run.. and that was all NIN/BRD stuff too... and not a single NIN/BRD was in the group for the dungeons. -_-.

    I Lol'd when 2 tank chest pieces dropped. Otherwise, I like how the new system is

    The run I had where 3 MNK pants dropped, with no MNKs in the party...

    Still, far better than the previous system. Would be nice if a piece had less chance of coming up if it had already dropped though.

    Ah my bad, had a Dragoon chest piece drop from different bosses so I assumed. Still, this is a poor solution. The better one would have been for either all the chests to appear at the end of the raid, or for them to implement a token based loot system similar to that of Alexander (or Bismarck/Ravana/ThordanEX but they're never that good to us).
