    I need and greed on every single piece of gear in a dungeon because half of the time, that gear "hits the floor" and gets wasted. Instead of wasting it, I can get desynth materials or GC seals for stuff.
    If someone wants a piece for glamour or they need a piece for stats, they can ask for it and I'll gladly pass on that piece if it appears. Usually people run the content on the job they want the gear on, so 9 times out of 10 they can just Need it and get it anyway. The times that it's a job that you have someone else there that's the same type, JUST ASK!

    The person who really needs the item has to ask for it, not the person who wants it for desynth or selling it. Makes sense.

    I mean this in a kind way.

    No one is entitled to gear from a dng. If you want gear and such. Its okay to ask. No one can read minds nor is everyone checking your gear.

    I had to spam lapis for gear for dsr as a caster. Know what i did when another caster was there? I asked politely and they were more than receptive.

    Just communicate. Gear is on a timer. Theres time to ask.

    Desynth and GC seals are legitimate needs.
    If you need something, play that class so you can hit the Need button.

    Desynth and turning in for GC seals are also legitimate uses. It's rare that anyone "needs" a dungeon drop for an actual gear upgrade because they're usually already using better gear.

    So yes, ask for it if there are others with the ability to Need on the item in the party. I've gone back several times and changed my Greed to a Pass for someone who wanted the item for one of their other jobs and not the job they were using in the dungeon.

    A little polite conversation can have positive results. You'll get the occasional sour puss but most are happy to help out.

    Feels like too much effort to ask every time? Then it must not be that much of an upgrade after all.
