Loot lockouts should be based on Job

[Alhanelem]

Personally, I would have to disagree with you. I do not mind making decisions about my character at all, the problem is that with the current lockout system you really have no incentive to play the content on another job/class...

well, you just contradicted yourself. Why do you need an incentive to play different jobs. Shouldn't you play different jobs because it's fun? Especially when you're playing with a set group of friends, you don't necessarily have to play the job you want loot for and only that job. Plus, there is more than one content in the game that you can play. Use your different jobs on all of them.

Going to coil on my scholar and lotting on black mage gear does not allow me to actually play my black mage for example and unless I find a new static

This is true in every game. That's not a defect of the content, it's a defect of your static group not having the flexibility to let people play different jobs. Personally in the groups i've gone with, I've seen many people switch between a couple jobs on the fly. "You want to play pld? I'll go sch instead"

Like I said in the past, as content in the game expands, this problem will fade away, as different contents will demand different makeups.
