Been running Ridorana Lighthouse the whole week and...

[Awha]

We had at least one person already defending their preference for Greed only /because/ they don't feel certain people should have drops because they 'don't deserve them' for whatever reason. That's pretty much the textbook definition of spite.

To be fair I have yet to see many defend greed all in the sense that they would like to stay, or that they agree with the system, sure some have voiced their personal preference, even then most have admired that the system is still flawed. People have defended it in the sense that greed all and need/greed/pass systems both favor certain individuals. If they never made the change more like the conversation never would have been brought it since it was one of those status quo elements to game that most just went along with, but being as the change went through a revert to the old system instead of a rework seems like they would be taking a step backwards, when they have chance to move forward because inherently both systems are not fair and impartial. Is it possible to come up with a system that is fair and impartial I do not know, but would still be an interesting conversation to see if the community can help SE come up with a solution that is better then greed all or need/greed/pass.

Have you considered there might be a reason why it's the status quo more or less since MMOs' inception?

Overall you are right I have had no problem with the status quo, but being as SE made the change simply going back instead of possibly looking into ways to improve the system and find a solution that happens to please both side that have their preference does not seem like a bad thing to me. I mean don't you think it is little odd to dislike one system because it favors certain players, but blindly go back to the previous one that still favored certain players? I mean if it trues out a rework is not possible or simply would take up too much time I have said then go back to the old system since between the two Need/greed/pass fits the status quo. I mean yes it is the way things have been, but SE clearly is open to change so maybe it is time we see if a rework is possible. Even when they mentioned change I did say outside of my personal preference greed all is still a terrible solution when it comes to methods of loot distribution.
