Been running Ridorana Lighthouse the whole week and...

[Awha]

It's the first thing you said in a while that made sense - it's just very selfish and short sighted. Just say you don't want strangers in pugs to be able to keep you from rolling on gear you want, at least then we would know where you are coming form.
I don't see how you think it's self centered for a healer to get their drop on the very first chest and equipping it immediately so they perform better for the rest of the run. It's direct contribution to the party you're in at the time. But hey, you want to take that away from them, having fun with that min ilvl healer I guess.

I should have said in most cases, since if I am being honest at times I feel the same way within my static at times. It is not that i do not want strangers to roll on gear that I want per-se. More so without an objective measure how can we as the group determine the worth or contributions of a player that gives each player within the group equal consideration? If as a group we cannot objectively measure that the piece of gear is going to the person that can make the most use of it in a group setting why not just let everyone have a equal shot at what has dropped? Does that make sense? The base requirement behind role based system does your current class meet the role / job requirement. If you meet those markers then you are free to roll on the item. Meaning it still has the potential to go a player that did not do much of anything. Though FFXIV and personal accountable touchy subjects.

Honest question cause I do not know the answer. Would the upgrade from the item they just won on the first chest really make the current run all that much smoother? I will not deny that their effectiveness will go up, but can we objectively measure if that boost is enough to warrant priority. Personally I do not think so, but I could be wrong.
