someone that can post stuff like that cant understand much about need, greed, sell, buy, market needs. Motivated by sole selfishness is your request and kind of well weird. Just because someone rolled a better number the you, doesnt equate to you having more rights then any others just because you want what you want. I need gil, to me a mats is also gils or maybe I plan on getting materials for when I reah 50 with my crafters...and etc...see my point ?

Just becasue you tihnk I shouldnt need it doesnt mean I dont need it or simply want it

Someone that doesn't know the difference between "need" and "greed" probably shouldn't post here.

How is picking need to sell the item on the MB any different than picking need to craft something which will be sold at the MB? That's hypocrisy par excellance.

Everyone needs gil. And I run 2 alts, you say I shouldn't be able to need crafting mats for my 4-star crafting cause I'm running on an alt? Heh, that's cute.

Well, by that logic you should be able to 'Need' on Tank gear when running as a healer because you also have tank levelled.

/Not supporting OP's idea, even though I have full DoH 50.

That's an entirely different matter. Because the tank gear is indeed _needed_ by some people. No one really "needs" crafting gear. It's greed vs. greed, not need vs. greed.

So let's see; I want a certain piece of crafted gear for vanity or something. I won't be bothering getting my crafters high just yet so I'm stuck with buy the overpriced item off of the MB or gather my own mats and find a crafter that is willing to craft for free or for a decent tip. And I saved a decent chunk of gil(or used them for mats I can't be arsed to obtain) and made the crafter some gil as well in the process. We all win.

I will at times collect certain mats for either FC mates that can use or need them, friends, or just to have for whatever reason(we have a running potato joke with someone so I grab any dalamud popotos I can hehe)

I absolutely "need" every time. I give the items to my friend who's an officer in my FC. He then makes items for us, himself, or for Gil. It's not like people that need on them with no crafer laugh and then toss them in corner. I'm sorry you feel entitled to them.

Tank gear is for tank classes. Tanks are in need for it
Crafting mats is for all classes (no class requirement). It is for everyone.

Just say to SE that they should put class requirement on crafting mats and that everyone who is not on the needed DoH class can only greed on it.

asking for crafting materials to be put in treasure chests in dungeons is silly.

you whine because everyone is rolling need on the craft materials, yet you suggest to put them in a treasure chest so it will be given out at a random person without any choice on the matter?

at least with the need/greed system, if someone doesn't give a rat's ass about that craft material, he/she will pass it.
if you put these materials in a chest, next thing it will happen, you'll come to the forum to complain about RNG.

Another option would be to just remove them from the loot tables.

That was perhaps badly phrased on my part. I meant with that to remove them from the dungeons entirely. OP is fixed.
