Reroll for things falling to the floor?

[Taika]

I think they should split "Greed" into two levels. No actual game requirements like Need, just a way to split people who want it but can't roll Need and those who would rather have it than have it drop to the ground. Allow people to courteously bow out without loot disappearing.

You can simply not pass the loot and it'll go to you if no one has needed / greeded. This is why in our group others never pass before the members with loot right have said they've looted. And no one leaves the instance before the loot has dropped.

I can kind of understand where this is coming from, but was a bit shocked at the example given. Maybe a crafting mat from a dungeon, or something from a map. But people throwing away High Allagan? That's just stupid and if you couldn't take 2 seconds to say "you need?" Then you deserve to have it hit the floor.

Well, I made up that particular example but... it's based on something that actually happened.

The whole "you need?" thing happened of course. HA gear isn't magical to prevent accidents from happening! Maybe I didn't clarify...but gosh didn't I write enough already for that to be obviously asked.... Why would someone pass loot anyway without asking the other person if they wanted it (maybe you guys don't use voice chat...different strokes I guess).

I really didn't expect any opposition to such a update to the game that wouldn't hurt anyone and would make others lives a lot easier... But I suppose having a negative opinion is a higher desire to post than a supportive one... :P I.E - Writing a negative product review is much more likely than someone writing up a good one.

...It would avoid drama in free companies and random pug groups! ....

TBH, I think it will not happen in a random pug group.... ^^;

Nice idea!!!

[Niqote]

I think this is a great idea.

I've also seen High Allagan fall to the ground because the same people just happened to sacrifice for the other.

Not sure why you're being so snarky about it as this just makes your story evens stupider. If you're on voice chat you don't even have the whole no keyboard/took too long to type argument. You just all passed the gear and ran away, now you're whining about it.

? I'm drawing a blank here

To clarify... I lost no loot ok? It wasn't even about me at all. I don't even play a healer in raids... You can look me up if want:

I don't look like a healer do I? There was no healer body in question.

I'm sorry we are misunderstanding each other though...

My entire thing was about a fictional person wanting to help a friend out and that friend accidentally leaving in excitement of thinking they were thought of. (Because, wow, a friend would pass loot, so nice!)

It's funny though, you are getting like I'm upset about some imaginary occurrence though... I even did say "Say, for instance," when I opened the example.

Sorry if I came off snarky, but I didn't feel like you read the opening post... since you didn't catch the part about it being *an example*.

I'd like to see a ffxi type of loot window where you can see everyone's roll or whether or not they've passed. I've sat in primals for a few minutes waiting for people to roll because they are hoping the others will leave.

I don't think we need a safety measure to avoid loot dropping to the ground. It's easy enough to not leave an instance until the item is distributed. People need to stop thinking their stupidity needs to be alleviated by an outside source instead of changing the way they themselves do things.

They should show rolling status of all members. It is very easy to modify loot window.

Honestly, if they want it to be secret until everybody roll, they should only show who get the loot or not show at all
(only say "xxx has been placed to one pt member's inventory" or something).

Since vote kick system already doesn't work while loot window poping up,
I see no point to do as current loot announcement system.

How about showing on your chatbox who rolled (and how much they rolled) and who passed. Every game has this on loot system and it's a good improvement to help your whole party notice.
