G>N lock-in system

[Zumi]

They do have this system in WoW called master loot I believe. However people can still screw you over with it. Like not give you their loot, give it too their friends, take it for themselves. So pretty much any loot distro system has its problem, which is the same thing as people greeding or needing your stuff in a greed over need party.

The group complaining about something like this doesn't really have a leg to stand on as far as the rules of the game are concerned. Not sure there is much, if anything, that could be done here.

Bring this in ASAP, some items are rarely seen and when they drop its not fair that someone else takes it.

Uhhhh, no, actually it sounds entirely fair. For every single person in the group.

Uhhh no, it's not fair at all to join a greed party and then roll need. It's also not fair to lot on items other than those you picked. It's pretty simple - if you don't wanna follow the rules set out by the party leader, don't join the party.

We could have a gil-bidding system where person with the highest bis gets the item, and the gil is then distributed to the whole party.

This way people can secure their items while other people will then have the gil to bid on things they need.

It would greatly favour crafters and spiritbond people though, essentially making the game all about earning gil rather than running dungeons.

Sure, let people who roll in gil have even greater power in an all out bidding war. RMT would make a killing.

People appear incredibly underinformed about the rules, seeing as they think you can agree to whatever then break the lotting rules of the party because lol. Glad someone posted Camate's post that makes it painfully obvious that isn't true.

No changes need to be made to the system. If you're getting screwed, you need to start placing GM calls, because player-made rules agreements are more than sufficient for PF action.

They need to revamp the system - you should be able to switch your Need roll to a Greed roll or pass after rolling if you feel the need to. They also should add a loot master option...

Would solve a problem but add new ones. No thank you!
