    Crystal Tower Loot Changes Please (Note to SE)

    Dear SE,
    Please change the way CT does loot. While I understand the need for a loot lock-out, the way it is implemented can be improved. Currently once one get a loot for a week (regardless of need/greed/accident), he/she no longer is able to get any more items.

    While this supposedly allows for a more even distribution and helps to stop grind. It also has some noticeable side-effects.

    1. Wasted Loot
    Since people can only get a loot a week, everybody is very careful to pass on loot that is not their primary requirement or must pass if they already have their gear for the week. It is very discouraging to see gear go to waste especially if it is a gear that you want and not one else wants, but you can not accept due to lock out.

    2. People not staying in or helping with CT Party
    With the one loot a week policy, people that have gotten their loot have little reason to stay and seriously many many reasons to leave. Few can be buggers am leave during CT, and that is really wrong.

    But most will leave once CT ended and they got their loot. This makes it difficult and hard to keep on finding members to run CT. Unless they are you FC and are more willing to stay. Even then, most will not really want to, due to long CT time and being trolled when they see loot they want being "unable to be obtained".

    Also in all seriousness, how often does one respond to a CT party help request, when you already got your CT weekly and you know CT is going to take about an hour or even longer. Seriously puts a damper on helping.

    3. Troll &/or BAD parties
    Most of the time, due to the above factors, people will do CT in pugs. And serious (not SE fault) but thanks to the drop in maturity level overall when the internet is concerned and this new more "me me me" age, you have more trolls. Trolls that leave party once they get loot, that join CT to do stupid thing or just need to make other people's life harder to get a kick. Seriously they are m.r.ns but well they are always there....

    Also BAD players otherwise known as super casual or just clueless, etc. No matter how you put it, they are there and they always make your life just that much more interested. Also makes your dungeons longer. For the life of me, I no understand how people can play a class so long and be BAD at it. But then I am hardcore in gameplay, so it is painful to watch and play with.

    Issue Conclusion / Plead for change
    So seriously we need some way to get people (especially our FC and friends) to play CT more...... Thus as so so many proposed. Please change the loot system. As many have proposed, please change it to a 1 NEED a week, or 1 NEED and 1 GREED or 1 NEED and X number of GREEDs a week.

    This way, people that really need the gear will still get it and others can fight for it as and when it is not their primary requirement but will help them. Please please SE please change the system thanks. This is not a Primal that is like 15 minutes or less to farm. In which 1 loot a week is not to painful. This is a 1~2 hour dungeon in a 24 man raid that people will try not to do once they got their loot for a week.

    Thanks and Regards.
