Issues with Coil: Statics v. The Rest of Us

[firepixiedarien]

I think you didn't understand what he meant and I'll explain, because I know that given that opportunity, I'm sure most of my own coil group would be happy to do it.

He's not talking about alt jobs or classes, he's talking about alt character. If the whole group has an alt character of the same main job than his main character, you could basicly do 8 runs of each coil and give all the loots to the person who is on his main at every run.

Even more, after a person has done his turn on his main, he can even continue the rest of the runs on his main, because it will be capped anyways, so basicly, every week, each member could get up to 6 pieces of gear just doing turns 1-4, and for a group that knows the fights, they can really do it in full DL.

Monday night, time to run coil 1-4 for 3 ppl. first run, main tank on his main job, cause you want your guy with big armor to tank the big hits, cause both your healers are in ilvl70 gear. Second run, both tanks, third to 6th runs you bring a DD, and you finish with the healers... because if the healers can get through turns 1-4 with 7/8 in full DL, there is no reason to get them on their mains before the DDs that will speed things up...

I think you don't understand that you're not psychic, and can't possibly know what other groups will do should they implement Loot Lockouts.

I think you don't understand that what my group does is none of your business because our groups are separate.

And most important of all....I don't think you understand that YOU, Drakan, and every other highly skilled group, would never, EVER, use the Loot Lockout system to gear your mains faster as you described (making alts, passin all loot to one person, repeat for next).

Why?

Because Dravan, you and all those other highly skilled groups are in it for the challenge. You guys would never do something to intentionally trivialize that challenge for you (in this case, stock up on ILVL 90 gear by letting each person get 6 drops a week).

It's exactly the same thing as rushing to 50. You don't.

At this point though, turns 1 through 4 have aleready been trivial for a lot of groups, and are done only for the loots (or access T5). The runs are fun, don't get me wrong, there is nothing more fun than coil in the game right now, and I'd do it for nothing myself just for the fun of it, but you can't possibly believe that if people are given the opportunity of gearing their group faster, no one will do it... Leveling 1 alt character to 50 and gearing him in full DL is not hard nor long, 2-3 weeks and it's done for most ppl. For groups that are in for completion and want to get everything in the game, the opportunity of getting 8x more drops is golden.
