"Terrible Idea" does not begin to describe the CT loot system in reality.

[waca]

Loot lockout is just fine, whether need or greed.

But I don't like the idea of running through an intermediate level dungeon and see 3/4 of the loots getting wasted (this happened to my first run... dropped PUG/DRG gears but we're 3 BLMs and 1 BRD - and we all waiting for our class gears).

How about unwanted gears go to alliance/alliances before being disposed?

It'd be really nice to get a developer response to the issue of loot rot.

Please look forward to making important choices for your character's development in regards to gear in Crystal Tower. --SE

I have been watching this thread and all I can say is... wow.

Have any of you played like... a hard MMO? Or a really grinds one? In fact, any MMO at all before wow?

Wah wah qq I want all my loot now. Seriously, the people whining here have no idea of actually earning anything. They all expect things to be handed to them. How about camping a HNM on a bi weekly spawn with over 200 other players camping just to get your BiS primary? My god people, the game isn't designed for you to be completely geared out in 6 days. It's not even designed for your ALTERNATE(key word here alternate, as opposed to main) to be geared in 3 days.

Aslso to the people asking "why should I run CT after my drop". Ummm because it's new content? You can run the new shit or hey have fun running the same 2 dungeons again and start bitching about lack of content, again.

So many people cry over nothing. Learn to deal with it you gear slobs, cause it's not changing.

The thing is; with Coil you have a chance to get a lot more than one item per week (assuming you can beat the whole thing) and that's higher level content, with CT it's 1 item and that's it. Personally I haven't run CT and don't really plan to as I'll soon be full ilvl 90 but for people that do want to gear up in it I think 1 item per day is a much fairer deal. If anything 1 item per week should be on the hardest content with the best gear, not on lower level content.

I'm not seeing what's wrong with this, you clearly have a priority on things you want, so just lot on it and move onto next week? do you want everything handed to you in a single run?

yes, some people do, myself not included.

I am ok with this... I don't have a problem with this... I don't think that this was the best decision they could have made though.

with you 100% on this. Like I said in my last post I'm not 100% in lockstep with how SE implemented this but still, Im ok with it.

Either they lock you out with a hard lock or make the loot percentages insanely low... or make you grind out currency for gear... most games designed to make you addicted like crack do this to you... deal with it.

I don't have the time to camp hnms like I used to. Getting a guaranteed drop from a coffer every week is pretty manageable... less QQ, please deal with it.

Low loot percentages style is probably the most addictive yet frustrating way to do it. People don't have a clue how good they have it nowadays.

Btw, as a clarification, if you greed the loot in CT does that take up your 1 per week quota as well? I guess it does right since everyone would just greed instead of need?

You're considerably lucky if you get more than one in a week, and considering how the loot lock out works such a player should feel very lucky on those weeks. This makes complete sense since you have to be lucky. However in CT considering how little loot drops I could potentially run it every day until I get the item I need for that day. In one week I could gear out an alt in full CT gear. This is a blatantly unacceptable pace and will never ever happen in an MMO for big gear like this. Ever.

I find it funny everyone wanted this type of loot lock out on the coil so you could run it with friends more often. As soon as they add content with that type of lockout everyone is suddenly up in arms about it. You literally can not please anyone around here.
