Reroll for things falling to the floor?

[Cherie]

I was discussing this with some friends tonight. This seems like it would be a great quality of life update:

How many times has something dropped that you wanted to allow someone else to have? Say, for instance, like the healer robe drops on turn 7 and you are a healer but your best friend you heal with really wants it. You pass it so they can have it and Opps! they left the zone before everyone could pass and they didn't get it in their excitement. And now it fell on the floor because you passed it too so no one got it.

I'm not suggesting that the person that left the zone should be able to get it somehow. I know that would be hard to program. All I suggest is that is instead of it saying "Item could not be obtained" and being gone forever, how about it just stays in the box? That way you could open the box a second time and reroll on it. Because in the healer robe example, well not only did you just pass on it, but your friend didn't get it either... So it really sucks for both of you because when it drops again, now there is some drama if you are going to pass it a second time for them or not.

The robe is just a example really. Just how many times do we see stuff go to the floor? It's just pixels and it doesn't matter but I think it would just be a quality of life thing. It would avoid drama in free companies and random pug groups! :P Some of us put in a rather large amount of time for pixels sometimes (novus anyone?) just to see it fall to floor is a downer, that's all. It could easily be fixed i think to allow those people in the room a second chance to roll.

Had a Friend loose an atma because it auto hits the ground on full inventory, if there was a temporary loot pool that is the second chance to stop loot from hitting the floor it should include items hitting the floor due to full inv.

I think you should post this on the feedback and suggestions section of the forums.
General discussion is... to general for something like this.

Ah, good point. I didn't realize we had one of those categories here. I did what you said. I can't move this thread so I reposted it there:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-life-thing%29

I suppose we could turn this thread into a thread over if people support this idea or not kind of thing though. From looking at the mods/english language team posts, it seems they post in this category most of all. So maybe if it gets enough support they might take a look at it.

That forum section is for website (for example forums or lodestone features), not in game suggestions.

This is one reason I tend to always Greed everything in level 50 dungeons, unless someone speaks up about wanting something. Half the time I'm the only one who even rolls. Better one of us get some seals than no one get anything. It would be nice if there were some kind of warning or a re-do on failed rolls.

This whole situation can be avoided by telling everyone not roll anything, not even pass before you actually discuss who gets what.

We lost a tonberry minion once. Sad day

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.

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.
