Should we eliminate the Need/Greed System and just roll for 'antique gear' like items

Why is this thread even a thing?

They said that in every lvl50+ dungeon at the end of the dungeon everyone will get one piece (not already in their inventory) for their job.

Imo that makes it easy enough to obtain wanted gear.

When did they say this? And did they say when it would happen? I did a lot of dungeons this week , so I would have noticed if it was happening.

Its being added friday. Its a way of preventing perma-RNG fails. Not 100% sure on how it works, but you should be able to get at least one usable item per run with the new system.

Awesome! My one complaint gone. Well, except for glam storage.

This actually sounds like a perfect idea for 4.X. Let me explain. They've previously stated that odd numbered patches would only have one dungeon added. That means gear for every role, crammed onto 3 bosses. With tokens you could have belt and gloves on first boss, head and boots on second, chest and legs on third. A full set of gear drops every dungeon, and you've got a 1/4 chance for each piece. The normal method would mean that each boss has nearly 20 possible items on their loot table, and a measly 1/10 chance that the item you'd like would appear. Which would you prefer?

Good point. And if you're a DPS and get paired up with another DPS of the same type (eg. 2 casters) then that screws up your chances even more.

The system is working fine how it is now. People are just picky and want to have an even chance even though they don't want to do runs as that job. If anything people need to realize that if they need gear they should play that role or at least ask for it and see if people can pass. As for the relic gear you trade in, it's old relic gear so they made it that way instead of trading tomes for it which makes sense.

This is my opinion as well. No one's saying someone has to main a job to get gear you want but if there is something you want specifically, pull up your britches and increase the odd in your favor by playing the class/role it drops for.
