Stop Giving the "Need" Command for Drop Gear in Dungeons to Higher Geared Players!

[Cordie]

Nothing is under-geared if you can get in.

Check the recent threads about that, the ones asking for stricter criteria etc, as well as those justifying vote-kicks for this exact reason.

Anyone mentioned statistics?

The probability of getting an item after rolling Need in a light party after lv50, with any possible party composition and a 50% chance to roll more than the other dps if it comes to that:



The "Need" option is designed to cater to specific roles/jobs.
So much for the "fairness" of resorting to RNG.

This is actually is a legitimate issue caused more by the game's loot system that would be best fixed by either implementing personal loot drops, or the other option YoshiP and his team was considering, which was to limit drops to only the classes running that particular instance (Ideally with a flat 25% chance to roll a particular class in 4-man dungeons, with same-class parties combining their drop chances to compensate for the roll competition).

The Need/Greed system isn't really at fault for that, though.
