    Enough will stay, this game isn't going to die that easily, and I would be happy if everyone that comes on the forums to whine about things like loot lockouts, speed runs, and emote censoring went ahead and left, don't even play through the end of your subscription, I hear they are doing some amazing things on Candy Crush now, you should be happy there.

    Being a per boss lockout would make the system enjoyable. I don't mind having to wait a few weeks to complete the slots with level 80 - but I do mind having to wait ten weeks to complete the Warrior of Light and the healer set. Two months and a half for gear that isn't BiS (as in, will get replaced as soon as I get the Coil/Myth piece) is just too much.

    I think it's more likely that we will only get one piece of loot per week. That'll make the process of gearing up a little slower.

    Or it might be the case that RNG prevents us from getting 4 pieces a week, since we're looking at 50 or 60 something pieces of gear for all classes.

    Doesn't matter the system will have to change soon because SE doesn't think ahead. Ok you get 1 loot per week or 1 loot per boss per week. There is 6 tanks 6 healers 12 dps when all these tanks and healers get done getting their loot twice as fast as the dps(less competition) who are the rest of the dps going to group with? You think dps queues are bad now just wait till the end of the weekly reset in CT with this loot lockout.

    Do not have any numbers but ill guarantee you there is 4-5 times more dps queuing then tanks/healers at least. And this is just full pugs depending on the fights in there some groups might take 1 tank or 1 healer and more dps.

    Is there a source on that? Because that would be such a new system that it should stir up the community quite a lot.

    I interpret the loot lockout as "you will only see each boss drop loot once per week", so if it drops something you don't want, that still counts as you having seen the boss drop loot. And that would be common practice today.

    So please could you provide a source on that?

    Thanks for the source!

    Looks like a very, very lenient loot system to me. With enough patience (and time) we could get 4 items per week (but also never more than 4), so it's possible to gear one job to iLv80 in 3 weeks. Very nice!

    People with time on their hands will be farming the heck out of that place, which means each time the boss doesn't drop something they want, they've just helped the other 23 people out. Clever.

    Uh, no. That means you only get 1 item per week from CT, period.

    How's there less competition? We have two tanks, which share the same gear, and two healers, which share the same gear. On the other hand, we have two melee DPS, which both have unique gear, one ranged DPS, which has unique gear, and two casters which share the same gear. Sounds like there's more competition on the tank/healer side than the DPS side.

    Furthermore, you're rolling between 8 members of a party, not all 24 members of the alliance. That was stated almost a month ago.

    Hmmm...now I understand why all the sudden threads about CT lockouts.

    Funny though there isn't any one single thread on this in the JP forums. I wonder why.
