    In a straight-to-inventory loot system, it would appear to be even more fair than one with a loot pool. That is because it's impossible to be scammed out of a highly desired item. No one can ninja lot it away from you, or kick from the party so that you're ineligible to receive it. In that light, it's even more "fair" than loot pool because there's no way to "game" the system.

    We could compare the situation to a roll of a die. Let's say you and your three friends play a game where you want to collect all six numbers, so you keep rolling the die until this happens, the last one done is a loser. Invariably, one of your friends will get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 before everyone else, maybe even in the first 6 to 10 rolls. But not you; you keep getting 1s, 2s, and 3s. You're frustrated every time one of the remaining players rolls a 4, 5, or 6 they don't need, and you still keep getting 1s, 2s, and 3s.

    But, it's not unfairness that you're upset about. It's the frustration of being reminded that your number hasn't come up.
    You are correct to put on your flame gear. Your point is absurd. Having it go to your loot directly in case someone steals your precious item is simply GREED.

    Just because you got lucky and got some items. Everyone who was in that party deserves an equal chance or right to that item. In fact thats why DKP was invented etc. Plus how would you be if your best friend or partner was playing and you kept getting drops but they got nothing. Laugh at them and tell them to suck it up and keep doing the battle?

    Just because your number has not come up.. Please?
    I've invested over 100 hours into Ifrit and Moogle. People have stopped doing it after 20 hours because they have all their items. Are you saying I should put in 200, 500. even 1000 hours to get what other people get in 20?

    How about if your boss rolls the dice once a month and says if you get a 6 i'll give you a $50 a month payrise. All your colleagues get a 6 on their first, second, third and fourth month. You keep rolling 3's and 4's. Now their pay is $200 a month more than you.

    Guess what Your Number Ain't Up.. Suck it up and deal with it!

    EDIT: Oh~ BTW there is only 6 months where your boss will be offering this bonus payrise so no matter what you do you can never get the same amount as everyone else.


    Why 6 months only because 2.0 will come in and these fights will be gone.
