Petition - Bring back the Need button in 24 mans

[Lunaxia]

Now we just need someone proficient in moon runes to post this to the nippon side of the forum to truly let our voices be heard.

A thread about this already exists on the JP side.

It mentions a dev post saying they implemented this so that players wouldn't be locked out of getting gear for alt classes that were too under-geared for the raid, but they'll assess the feedback they get and make a decision of whether to continue it or not. Most responses are unhappy about it (one asks, "did we even ask for this?" lol) and the highest rated responses are along the vein of "please change it back", "this just makes getting drops more difficult" or "it's frustrating watching someone on a different job take loot for a class you're playing."

I don't see them keeping this new rule for long, really.

That's interesting, because a FC mate told me that this was only made because JP players, who are considered more 'polite' than NA players, asked for it. The dev reasoning makes no sense, either. No one is 'locked out' of getting a drop for an alternate class unless someone on that class who needs the gear rolls need on it.

SE has done a lot of things over the years that were complicated but you could find a bit of sense just there at the very bottom, even re-forcing cutscenes back on us in MSQ roulette. There is absolutely nothing about this change that makes any sense at all, especially if JP didn't ask for it, either.

If the JP players are more polite, they don't need this change. Then can politely ask someone to decline to roll for someone else.

Not only that, but I believe that the dev should've just said them to play that job if they want that reward ( which I think thay said that once for some other reason which I don't remember)

I'd heard the same thing, but it doesn't seem to be as popular as the devs think, if true. The OP (which was against it) now has over 100 likes, and the "bring it back" posts average about 40. There is some support for it, but digging through the recent posts, the majority wants rid.

I guess their intent was to improve the chances of getting gear for alts by getting rid of the Need barrier. Unfortunately, it's just made life harder for everyone else.
