Crystal Tower Loot System - What needs to be done

[Despite]

Exactly... but people do it because of the reasons above. I personally stick to the end because I enjoy the raid and 50 myth makes me happy, but heaps of people leave the second they win their loot roll... this suggestion is to remedy that problem.

Could always change it to

5000 gil
125 philosophy
75 mythology
random i80 armor

or use my suggestion in the opening post but make it weekly.

I'm still of the opinion that the lockout should only happen when you roll need and win.
If you end up with an item through a greed roll or if everyone leaves the instance and you're the only one left, then you don't get locked out.
With this method it's not a loot pinata, but you're not locked out for dumb reasons.
Greed rolls with RNG, all the other people greeding since it won't lock them out, and all the different jobs.. it would still take quite a while to gear up your alt jobs.

Player does the above recommendation, fails to receive item in first run he or she wanted.. player runs CT again.. receives item he or she didn't get from the first random item daily, player leaves party. Your method would save the first run from a person leaving, but not the second. Gear lockout by class just means that if you are a tank and get your tank piece.. then you re-run and see someone else as the other classes you wanted to gear and they want the same item and say screw it and leave anyway if you don't win the roll against them. Still, both methods will stave off SOME of the leaving. I've been in groups where multiple people would troll every alliance by pulling bosses early over and over into the hallways where people were waiting, just to kill them. A few times of that and before you can successfully vote kick the prick responsible, an alliance will lose half of it's members.

A piece of level 80 gear every day? Why would they go from a piece of level 80 armour every week to every day? That is just absurd. The loot system is fine.

Which is why, if you want to prevent this situation from happening, items should be handed out after the dungeon's completed, not during the dungeon run. Still, I'm not convinced this problem is as widespread as the OP's making it out to be. If it happens as of right now, you should just report the player for griefing. If it IS widespread, SE will either take note of it and change, or make an example out of someone to put the fear of God in the rest of us.

Did you just suggest that SE is God and we should fear them? O_O I don't think this game is coded well enough to allow for loot at the end of a dungeon. At end group opens multiple boxes at once... possible. I am going to think you meant that and not to win said item, but not get it until the run is over.

take off the week lockout then problems are solved.

[ViktorMestrovic]

They're too busy trying to avoid becoming the next SWTOR to take that 1 week lockout off.

Maybe it's just the luck I've had but last 2 runs I did 2 tanks left from the same alliance after first boss and we made it all the way to the bombs without any tanks filling the empty spots and finally everyone else threw in the towel and dropped.

There are only 36 pieces of loot from CT (head, body, arms, waist, legs, feet = 6; tank, healer, caster, mnk, brd, drg = 6 sets). They are also Unique, meaning you won't get the same one drop from reward unless you want to see the same piece (which you can't get because you already have) for the same x times.

Also current cap is only 450 myth, you get 100 from roulette + 50 at the end = 150 myth. You only need to do this roulette 3 times a week to cap it. I disagree entirely with Duty Roulette.

Tbh they could always increase the cap a bit more, like 2 a week or even 1 lock out at each chest instead of the whole level. There are 36 pieces, so at the current pace it takes 36 weeks to get all sets. If they double the cap you still have to spend 18 weeks to get all sets, at which point 2.2 would be released already with more stuff to get, which is fair enough.

And tbh, I've done CT about 6 times and none of the JP leaving pt because they got something...

And the great thing about coding content is that this sort of thing can be changed.
