New Loot System for Raids from 4.3 on

[TaiyoShikasu]

I feel sometimes they make up "player suggestions"

And from what I've gathered, they think it came from the non-Japanese playerbase showing no one wanted this change.

I am taking the long way by doing hunts for books to get my 360 to 370. I refuse to step foot in that POS dungeon after doing a couple of bosses. Too much anxiety for me, gettin' old here hehe.

Your loss Besame. Im rather enjoying Ridorana. The fights are decently tough, but each is very recoverable. The bosses have some interesting(and new!) mechanics, but none of them have more then a half dozen moves. Things start to speed up and overlap when the fights go long enough, but it never gets to the level of a soft enrage. I saw a group that was struggling outlast the third boss - it took them more then 20 mins(and 4 or 5 healer LB 3s), but they never wiped(came so close) and eventually put him down. Same group actually did the whole raid with only a single wipe(last boss add phase - too many dead DPS when they spawned).

And im still on the "its a non-issue" side of the loot change. If it goes back, fine. If it stays, fine. I did 4 ridoranas and 4 alliance roulettes last week. Not once did someone complain in group or over alliance about losing an item they wanted. And both times someone asked for an upgrade to be passed to them it was. Could someone have been silently furious that they lost a roll they never asked for a pass on? Unless they say so, i have no way to know. And yes, most of the loot from the new one still hits the ground with no rolls. Lockout plus the fact that itll be 2 patches before any of the stuff can be turned in for seals or used to desyn.

I am wholly against this. This is the second week in a row someone gearing a secondary class has taken a piece I sorely needed to upgrade my main class even after I asked for the piece. It's always only been one other person that greeded on the piece. This new system is ridiculous and disheartening.

Something something bringing best geared job.

After two weeks of losing pieces for my main class, to other players who gleefully bragged about wanting them for glamour, I'm done with this game. We pay for time to play, and this system flat out waste our time. There was nothing wrong with needing for pieces that you need. There were plenty of dungeon sets that were easily obtainable by alternate classes, to gear up to the alliance raid level.

If they change the system I'll come back, until then I refuse to pay to have them waste my time.

This new system has left a very bad taste in my mouth. For personal reasons I had to leave the game for a while, so trying to get gear to catch up on current content is a chore. Make the game more friendly to people catching up in some ways, and screw them over in others.

I wasn't around for much of the last patch, but decided to try to catch up in case I decide to raid next patch. I would also like to do the new extreme primal.

It's frustrating that I can't need on healer gear. I didn't have any problem doing the dungeons and raids on the classes I want to gear up. I've ran this dungeon 3 times and have seen 2+ healer pieces each time and haven't gotten any of them. It's really frustrating. I don't want to run this dungeon more than once a week because it's not worth it if I have to roll against 7 other people instead of 1 other healer plus there's the added chance that a healer item won't even be dropped. I'll run it once a week, get my coin and be done with it.

SE please change it back to Need/Greed/Pass.

I'd like to at least suggest you ask in chat before you roll on something you need, and hope that good manners will help ease the trouble.

On one hand, I don't like trying to get into 24-mans on a class not in demand (Tanks are fairly shafted on the days after patch), so being able to come in as a needed class and roll for something you can't need fairly is good... but I don't think that makes up for the cornucopia of problems it presents.

It has been 4 times I did Rabanastre trying to get Samurai Set, and yes I was doing it with Samurai Job, not that it matters now. I saw several times many pieces of the set, and even before I asking the party that I was in need of these gears, none of then passed or said anything. I don't feel like doing any raid anymore for getting gear for glamour, not until the they change this back as it was. Thanks for making my gameplay experience frustating, now not only I have to deal with rng I need to beg others for the gear. (Clap clap clap)
