Been running Ridorana Lighthouse the whole week and...

Do I hope they're reading this right now.



We do have an objective measure - the job they're on. It's the only measurement that's objective. Will they desynth it? Will they sell it for seals? Do they want it for glamour only? We don't know. We can't know. But we do know that WHM has a higher chance of using it over that DRG who has no healers at all.
You think they didn't contribute enough to roll on items? Hopefully the rest of your party agrees and you'll kick them before they can roll on items. But you have no right to tell other players who is and isn't deserving of items, least of all when you can't say for certain you're more deserving than they are.
Suggestion - stop trying to justify your approach, you're only coming off as entitled. Selfish I can understand, it's how you're trying to justify your approach that really does it.

So a players effectiveness does not matter, just role. That seems entitled to me, this is my role so I deserve priority. Does that not seem entitled, maybe I am just misunderstanding your point. Also when I was speaking about objectively measure more so was talking about their contribution to the party and the kill at hand. I do not think role in itself is enough to give a player priority, could be a factor but I do not think it should be the end all be all. That is my point I do not know if my deserving, and I will not say that I am. It seems basing everything off of role and ignoring all the factors that we cannot measure why not just look at it in a vacuum. Everyone in the party took part in the kill, so everyone should get equal shot.
