    A simple solution is lifting the token system from EX Primals. You run x amount per week, and either purchase the item of your choosing or get lucky beforehand, thus not needing to run as many times the subsequent week.
    Well, to be fair, the reason people are using the class they want to gear up is to an extent caused by the loot system... But the all greed is very much not the solution to people wanting to maximize their chances of getting a certain piece when it does finally drop on the 20th run.

    The best idea I've seen is still the idea that if you run the raid a few times during a week without getting anything from the bosses, it would give a token that counts as your weekly drop and could be turned into one piece of gear from the raid.
    It would cap the amount of times people have to run it weekly to gear up.

    Oh, I agree. My response was more to correct the previous poster blaming complaints about company seal and glamour for why this changed occurred when it's primarily a JP request—a very flawed solution for everyone else, unfortunately.

    As for the idea, I believe I mentioned it myself. Simply take the EX Primal token system and apply it to Alliance. They could either give you a second token each run; allowing them to be exchanged for gear. Or have a single token be rewarded after x amount of runs should you have not received any loot that week. However they went about it, this is far superior to crossing your fingers this third time out of forty runs, you'll roll high and no one else out of seven people wants that Caster coat.
