Crystal Tower loot problems

[JillyBean]

People are in CT for many reasons. They are entitled to roll "need" no matter how geared they are. Be glad you can't turn in CT gear for seals. Kicking someone for something that you think isn't "cool", but that they are perfectly entitled to do, is probably not a smart idea. If you want to guarantee some drops, make a group of 8 friends and queue up together.

Or people could not be selfish and let lower levels get their gear as well. If you want to vanity something, make sure another person doesn't need that item. I don't care if I wanted this item for vanity and I've been chasing it for a long time. If someone needs it, i'm passing it.

Thats you, but that may not be me.

we both pay to play this game and our reasons playing are most certainly not the same. who is in the wrong now?

You for trying to kick someone that fairly participated in your fight and won the roll.

Or me being a transmog collector who constantly spends their day running unneeded content over and over again to use a feature square added to the game, and which many many many people enjoy.

Did I say anything about kicking the person? No, I did not. Sometimes it's nice to put others before yourself. Especially if it's something that a person actually needs as compared to you just wanting it for looks. I've ran dungeons a lot of times for one item. I finally seen it appear, but I gave it up because someone actually needed it. I'm sorry if I'm not a selfish person unlike many others.

Honesltly, I hope you're not insinuating that I'm selfish.

Once in Levi EX, I greeded the bard bow (the only Levi weapon I have is the scholar book). One other person (the person who had formed the party as a FARMING party) also greeded the bard bow. Everyone else passed.

They started crying that they really needed the bow because that was the very last Levi weapon they needed. Being a nice person, I left the instance so they could win it. Turns out as soon as they won it, they left their own farming party immediately (after one run).

So, again, who exactly are you calling selfish? Because, unfortunatly, that quickly taught me being nice to people gets you nowhere sometime.

I'm talking to any of y'all that think your reason for wanting something in a game is better then someone else's reasoning. You can be nice and pass if you want that is your prerogative but if someone try's to make someone else feel bad over a video game item for their own gain then they are just as bad as there person they are accusing.

LVL50 and need gear?

Craft it yourself.
Buy it off the AH.
Join a respectable FC that provides their members.
Make your own CT group in Party finder and make your own loot terms.
Or roll the dice along with the other 7 people in your randomly selected duty finder raid.

I wasn't referring to you (if your latest post was directed at me), I was speaking to Seoulstar.

It seem to me that gear usually drop for class that perform best in group. Not sure what happen if there are multiple players of same class, maybe it is random number for need but maybe based on damage dealt etc.
Basically if you do your job good your chances are better to get the gear you need.
So my evil advice would be to get good (or better) at what you do. I know I still find new ways how to perform better on my jobs even 6 months after I started to play ff xiv and I couldn't get gear drops by using just 1 combo as lancer for example.
