Forcing the Loot Timer Down: Is This Harassment?

[Chihaya]

Press NEED and go to the kitchen/restroom or something >_> no one else can NEED that but you.

[Coatl]

Uhm I'm just going to mention did because no one else did but, if you DID disconnect the item wouldnt have automatically gone to him.

Did a hullbreak with my friend not too many moons ago. He dced and we killed the last boss, and everyone left the instance. A sherry droppes, and to my surprise even though it was me and my disconnected friend in the party, the item was not going to me. The loot timer was still clocking down as the server waited for my dced friend to roll on it.

Now if you dc for more than the loot timer stays active for, them thats another story.

Should of let the healer have it for being super patient. Instead you DC a lot, wasting his time, then have the nerve to come to the forums to complain he waited out a loot timer. Kinda makes OP sound like the real prick. Lol

A healer don't need tank gear. It would be no upgrade for him.
And if the healer would have a tank and ilevel 80 would be an upgrade for the healer's tank, but never mentioned it, then it was the healer's fault.

Because there's no chance that this healer also has a tank that they're trying to gear up?

Rolling greed on an item that I would make practical use of on a different class only to lose it to someone else's need roll so they can use it for glamour is equally as annoying as what happened to the OP. If an item is a lower ilvl than what you currently have equipped, rolling need on it is greedy. Therefore, the loot system needs to be changed to reflect that (i.e. prevent people from rolling need on a piece of gear that is lower ilvl than what they are wearing...just make sure people can't get around it by quickly swapping to a gear set full of ilvl 1 stuff before the chest is opened).

who's to say the healer also wanted it for glamour. i mean its an ilvl80 chest most of us are gonna use it for glamour. its not really a good uograde when you can get ilvl 100 chest with sol, Cyrcus Tower new coil(110) and i90 chests in older coil or with myth. i would mention hunts but we all know people use those marks for sands of time.


If the healer wanted to leave they can asked to be dismissed, if the group refuses they just refuse to heal, i would

To be honest with you OP, people intentionally forcing others to wait by letting the loot timer run out with no apparent reason, are jerks.
But still reporting them for doing this is stupid and useless.


I also want to add that given the context of your story, it was a smart move from that guy.
If i was him, knowing you could potentially get disconnected again, that you only wanted it for glamour and that i needed the piece as an upgrade for my PLD, i would have done the same.
Increasing chances to get the piece, its all what it was.

It was for glamour, so you should have rolled greed on it. You don't NEED to glamour stuff, you WANT to glamour stuff. I hate when people who clearly don't need gear roll need on it anyway.

You know what I hate? I hate it when entitled people come in as a certain role, let's just say a healer, expecting everyone else to bow to them so they can get all the tank gear they want. If you want your tank gear, tank the dungeon. It's as simple as that.
