All Greed on Alliance loot

[Lord_Umbra]

Oh I want that Tank piece.. hops on my DRK, oh want that Caster piece hops on RDM, I want that Sam piece hops on Sa.. for real this is dumbest thing ever if you're not good enough/think you're not good enough on said class you want gear for then you really don't need said gear just so you can afk in city states in said gear on class you don't play in relevant content. Why should I lose my guarantee shot at a gear piece if I'm only one on a class for that gear drop & then also fact that people roll for gear they don't even have the class leveled for will they block people who don't have a 70 of that class of course not.

This is just all around horrible idea.

This change is beyond stupid as far as any change can be in this game.

I made an alt on Gilgamesh a good month and a half ago or so and I used Rabanastre to get it geared up properly once it hit 70. How much harder do you think it would have been to gear up properly if, not only do you have to wait for the actual gear to drop, but ANYONE can simply roll greed on it and deny me it, eh square enix?

And we can forget even trying to collect the sets for glamour now.

This change puzzles me. I can't see the gain in making all loot rolls be greed. This is only going to annoy players. This helps no one.

I hope this gets discarded before patch goes live. This is a fine contender for most awful and unfair idea in the game ever.

It's still not balanced. Tanks have longest queues for alliance raids because there is only 3 spots for them. Now they get to still wait long and have to roll against 7 others.

Why would you assume that there will still be the same amount of tanks queuing in when they could just go in as whatever job has the lower waiting time?
And also, why would you expect that you'll constantly be rolling for the exact same gear as 7 other players? This will almost never happen. At most you'll maybe roll against two or three people if you are unlucky, which is something that can occur already. (Which is also the reason why I suggested to increase the number of drops in each chest.)

Because this isn't the first 24 man we've ever got. When wiping city came out you still had to do void ark for tokens, tank queues were still bad.

When DS came out you still had to do ark and city, tank queues were still bad, all despite you being able to go as any job.

They weren't as bad as the time when the gear was still relevant though.

I don't think it is that important a change, to be honest. But also don't see the utility of it. First I understood it was for the alliance raid roulette. There most people don't care about the gear and pass, I usually greed for the seals or desynth and many times i get the gear. If it is about all alliance raids, I usually go with a job for which I want the drop (not the main job), the change would mean I can go whatever job and hope for luck, I also hope for luck now and many times greed any gear I don't have so that I don't have to repeat the raid for the weekly piece of gear.

So I don't know if it is better or not, it might be better if you don't have a fixation for some special gear. You choose any class you want and cross your fingers for luck, greed in any things you fancy, or greed everything if you want a loot and not repeat the instance for one week. Everybody wants the big pieces like body and legs and leaves the smaller ones, especially the belts, when there is a weekly one piece loot.

[Lydeck]

Absolutely horrible idea. There is NO benefit to this change and all it's going to do is make the 24 man experience even worse.

I don't understand why the dev team fails to understand things like this.

I can say as a healer main if I have to carry as hard in Ridoranna as I did in Rabanastre I am not going to be very forthcoming with heals and raises for a mostly dead person who outrolls me on healer/caster gear but doesn't have one leveled.

I don't play this game to hand other peoole rewards. I get that in group content, especially as a support role, that is a thing that I will wind up doing but if someone plans on rolling for healer stuff and hasn't even gotten them to 70... I hope your Second Wind crits a lot. I will be over here healing people not abusing a broken system.
