Custom Loot Rules

[Clavaat]

In my group we just discuss what piece will give the group best chance to beat the next turn. The person that the group decided would be best to have the gear will be the sole roller on the gear. If the main job already has it, people with that job at 50 greed off.

Simple enough, but for our purposes this seems to be exclusively with intent of progressing as one job. That may work great for your group, but for us, we have a lot of members with the same roles. We weren't exactly built to be a team focused on one goal (this goes way back), so when we started doing bigger events, by default some of us had to play jobs we needed as opposed to really wanted to play. As people level alts, it gets easier and we might try to change to something more akin to what you've got here.

True enough. I myself, the PLD and the 2nd BLM started out as MNK but then we changed to tanks and BLM to progress. We only got gears to invest on the job our group needed so once that job is geared out, we started branching back to the job we loved initially. My group was built with trust between FC members that have played since launch and loot isn't such a big deal for us.

That's awesome! Our group has seen plenty of bumps from RL, so week to week we sometimes have to pick up new people from PF or a new person in LS. The goal is to keep it fair for old and new people just joining us. Generally, the rule works out that most people who join pick the job they are currently on anyway. You never really know how some people will feel when they enter with a new team.
