Hopefully the Need/Greed/Pass system is better refined, since at present implementation in MMOs all it does is guarantee those who can't even use the item will be passed over automatically, but it doesn't guarantee who needs it will actually get it, because everyone could "need" it just to get it. Just dumping it into a loot pool like FFXI or other XIV fights does the same thing honestly.

There is no difference in FFXI's loot system, everyone can cast lot. It's the same thing.

edit :Lol totally read that wrong sorry, but yeah i hope they can refine in a way to can priority loots maybe before the fights even begin.

Lol totally read that wrong sorry, but yeah i hope they can refine in a way you can prioritize loots maybe before the fights even begin. So players can choose what looots they want before the entering instances, and doing NEED will prioritize people that alraedy PRIORITIZE it first.

It's why I do hope it's been modified a bit and not just slapped in since a lot of MMOs' NGP systems are done at the kill of the boss/clear of dungeon and it still can go to a random person.

What is /random?

What is /random?

In FFXI you typed /random and it would roll a dice for you in the sense:

Player 1 randoms a 728
Player 2 randoms a 882
Player 3 randoms a 242
Player 4 randoms a 10 (we all been there lol)
Player 5 randoms a 993
player 6 randoms a 998 (always one >.>)

So if you set the rules that highest random/lot wins, you'll give it to player 6. It's a numerical display for dice rolling, much like casting lots. That's just in terms of Square's previous FF MMO. Some MMOs does it differently.

What is /random?

One of the most annoying features in XI.

Glad they're redoing the drop system for Ifrit. Nearing 70 kills and all I got are 3 bows, 3 swords, 2 claws, 2 canes, and 1 cudgul when all I wanted was the Lance/Axe >.>

[Chinook]

What is /random?

Text command that generates a random number on screen. Often used in FFXI when a drop could be used by multiple people to determine who gets it.

[Holy_Dragoon]

From your translation it sounds as if a Weapon may drop, plus a chance at a special item drop for trade. Am I reading that correctly?
