This right here. I would always prefer lockouts over any RNG. Especially playing the first version of FFXIV and other various mmo's. Nothing worse then running something so many times and not seeing anything drop. I'm all for lockouts, but if they make them character wide that would be the one of the more stupid things SE has done. Should be CLASS specific then the system wouldn't be bad at all.

Most long term players in WOW had more max level characters. If you didn't get something using the group finder, you can just log in your alt and try for loot there. FFXIV is built upon you being able to be all classes and jobs so you don't have this luxury which I feel is stupid. People have more than one max level job and should be able to gear those those jobs.
