    It is fair, because that's exactly what the loot system is: we all depend on luck. If I keep rolling single digits, it's still fair because one day I may roll a 99. The determining factor, in my opinion, shouldn't be whether someone already has it, but whether the need is genuine. In this case, it is genuine, hence loot must be distrubted fairly, i.e. by the dice roll.

    I mean that's exactly what the system is right now. I go into World of Darkness countless times and lose my roll to different people every time, it is still fair. We all contributed to this particular run and that gives us equal legitimacy in NEEDing the gear we are able to equip. Whether or not you've already got 100 of this piece and turned them all in to the Grand Company, has no relevance whatsoever.

    If loot was given first-come-first-serve, then it is fair to let everyone get their piece before anyone can get seconds. But that isn't the case here.

    Taking into account the fact that I already have one, is the same argument as saying people wearing 310 gear should not be able to NEED a 120 piece because they already have something better. I don't agree with that.
