A proper looting system?

[Baelari]

I hate the loot system right now. It's not that I'm not getting my fair share (it seems like 75% of the drops go to me for some reason), it's more that it's annoying to ask who wants the piece, list all the stats, try to pass to that person, then usually the person is out of range, I track down the person, but person's loot list is full and cannot receive the piece, and then I wait for them to clear a spot to give it to them. Just... not a very elegant solution to loot distribution.

I don't like and don't understand the entitlement issues some people have, where if someone gets an item fairly through the current system they feel that the person who got it doesn't deserve it..
But.. I do think it would be helpful if there was a party treasure pool and lotting system like XI, so if people DON'T want the item, they can pass it for others.
I believe everyone should have a fair chance at the items earned by the party, regardless of rank/level and class/job.
Someone with higher levels doesn't deserve it more than someone who worked just as hard for it.

remember ffxiv is " im playing solo" partying is optional. so who needs a loot system is what SE thought.

i dont like thread bumps, but i'd really like for the Dev.Team to evolve this mechanic further.

Using FFXI as refrence (once again) it was more or less adequate & properly working,
what we have now is... not even fair.

Some people dont even check their loot list and forgets that they
actually recieved loot they dont need etc...

Next patch i want to see a proper loot distribution table
where players have the option to /roll for loot.

Maybe it rolls automatically already but you just can't see it? I don't know. Even if it does do that I want rolling implemented because when one person already has gear they just picked up, he will give it to someone he wants. Or when someone can't decide who to give gear.

Wow, Have some very forgetful or unaware posters in this thread.

It has already been stated that a better means of loot distribution is in the pipes. And while i know this does not make the "aww 10 seconds but i want it now" crowd happy. We just have to make do with what we have until then.

Then maybe you should put in some effort by showing us this actual information, that says we are getting a proper loot /roll system?
Because "You know this" isnt good enough for anyone.

Besides, the hell would sit and read these forums when all the threads are mor or less a bout the same crap over 'n over again?
