Glamour & Need

[Skivvy]

I do not like that idea at all. There are plenty of people who have also been farming the bejeezus out of a certain dungeon/raid trying to get X drop for glamour, so simply because they are a higher iLevel, they should get a penalty? And then there are those who use their dungeon drops to turn in for GC seals (this obviously wouldn't apply to all gear since not everything can be turned in). Who is to say the gearing of your character is more important than whatever use they have for those seals?

Sad to say but this is the truth, you are no more entitled to a drop than anyone else who does the run with you regardless of how many times you have run for it, i do understand though it's very frustrating.

No. Thinking you're more entitled to a drop for whatever reason makes you selfish. You both did the battle, so you both equally deserve it. It's as simple as that.

The fact of the matter is, that healer wouldn't have been doing T2 if there wasn't a drop they wanted. If such a system was implemented then high gear players would either stop doing the instances or purposely wear bad gear to bypass the system. Both would hurt the game.

At this point in the game, the Soldiery gear and High Allagan is much better. Weathered Daystar Sollerets are like 495 Soldiery tomes. I main WHM and now SCH, I've never saw the healing boots drop til after the 2.2
weekly lockout lift in coil. If your not spending your myth on anything, just buy the Argute Boots for your SCH for the time being.

That healer may have been doing endless runs to get them to drop for their glamour too. I think the need system is fine as it is. If you're desperate for the drop you can always PF and arrange so the other healer already has them or agree not to roll. (Though for the latter it must be someone you can trust.)

Edit: I know how you feel though, it's happened to me too. :3

I see where the OP is coming from and it does suck for that to happen.

If I personally do a DG for a glamour item, I tell the party at the start that's why I'm there and that's what I'll be needing on, any problems with that and they can kick me.

That said I don't like the idea of not being able to need based on ilvl.

It's a sad fact in MMO's that people will take items for small benefits to themselves I have seen items taken that were going to be used for that persons retainer and even as a glamour for a persons retainer, you will never know how much that other healer was looking for those boots and they could have been legitimately trying to farm them or they could have been spiteful because that happens too, you just have to hope the RNG is in your favour even though it feels like it never is.

Best of luck in your future drops!

[Ryuukishi]

Everyone is entitled to their fair shot at the roll. It's none of your business what someone else does with the loot afterwards if they win.

If we were playing, say, World of Warcraft... I'd be more inclined to agree with you.

But the artwork of Final Fantasy is just so much better than World of Warcraft's. Making a character with a look you like is just more important in a game where the artwork is better.

It annoys me when it happens to me (for obvious reasons that I will not dispute are extremely petty), but look at it this way... For you, it is a temporary upgrade. For them, it could be an item that they use for a very long time.
