Some people seriously have no shame, and should learn how to communicate without seething hostility and the massive use of hyperbole before learning to play an online game. In the meanwhile, they should be barred from owning a modem. It would sensibly reduce the pollution of the internet.
I agree that personal attacks are unwarranted but the devs need to know how unacceptable this system is... even with great future content this system can grind most of it to a hault if there is no way to realistically distribute items... which is 99% of the reason to do endgame. This is honestly almost as big of an issue as the lack of content is itself.

The looting system is not just bad it is absurd, with absolutely no benefits to it at all and it goes for more then just Ifrit it is all the drops from the new content. makes doing anything as a group a pain, make organized lotting literally impossible. Everything is just a permanent free for all, which simply does not work in any endgame mmo as a guild of more then 3-4ppl.

So while I appreciate the devs for working really hard at fixing the game... who ever designed this loot system needs to have a serious talking to from superiors and spend alot of late nights to redo this before 1.20 hits, this is/will hurting the endgame community of the game and makes organize group unable to reward members.... it is literally the worst system in a mmo to date, even worse then the Ninja lot system prior to this.

They need to go to a single loot pool shared by everyone with multiple options (random, quartermaster, etc). This way guilds can distribute items, they can reward those who put in the most work, they can go to the correct jobs, they can go to people to prevent lootwhoring drops. Atm you can invite a new person to the ls and get the drop over someone who has been a yr long member doing the event for weeks and weeks...and there is simply nothing that can be done.
