I am infuriated and in tears, about to quit again

[SovereignAegis]

I have returned from over a year long hiatus and I am trying to bum rush decent gear for my characters. One of them will be a machinist.

So I have been mercilessly farming WOD trying to get gear.

However I just had a match where I solo healed through most of the dungeon and then someone joined when the boss was at 10% health and they greed rolled me for it and they got it over me. The chest piece I've been farming nonstop for.

They didn't even put ina single heal.

I am so frustrated, if it was someone that contributed or even killed the trash mobs I'd be oaky but this... I am just so fucking sad about it.

Idk what to do. I want to get good gear for my machinist.

To top it off and ass insult to injury he also rolled for another main piece after the final boss. Yes really.


EDIT: ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY BECAUSE PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE MISREAD

I don't care about RNG, I grinded ATMA fates when it was just released and so don't tell me I don't know RNG or grinding.

My issue is the fact that someone who did NOTHING AT ALL WHATSOEVER to help defeat a boss stole from the entire group a very very precious item. That is not acceptable. 23 other people worked to achieve something and someone waltzes in at the very end and runs off with the reward.

There should be a solid mechanic hard coded into the game that prevents such horrific abuse/problems. Because this is a problem, despite the many incredibly toxic posts (Came from League of legends?) personally attacking my person.

It isn't fair or right that someone who did nothing to help gets to walk away with the valuable loot obtained from the hard work of 23 other people. It isn't fair and it isn't right and no amount of insults you hurl at me will make it right. We don't work for free where I live.

[WHS]

Don't mean to scare you away but from what I gather it just tough luck. No offense I been there myself. Don't really matter how much effort you put into this game it's all down to rng and luck. Trust me I am not making this up. It has been said time and time again on the forum so I guess it must be true.

Yeah I haven't done anything in the game since it came out, but I want good stuff now before the expansion (within in the next 20 minutes cause I need now), or I am going to quit.
All those people who spent months farming things are losers anyway.

[Musashidon]

you didn't deserve the gear more then them.

I disagree with this statement, if you really paid attention to what he wrote the person came in when the boss was at 10% so therefore they did not contribute at all. I for one NEVER roll if I enter in a situation like this as I have done nothing to earn that loot drop.

Edit: It's common courtesy really, something I know most in this game lack.

i did, and guess what the loot system has nothing in place saying hey you didn't participate so you can't roll.

opinions have 0 matter how who and who cannot roll except for when a premade is made and a loot rule is agreed upon.

Edit: It's common courtesy really, something I know most in this game lack.

it's also common courtesy to wait for a replacement. people should not be dropped out of loot roll just because they got unlucky when they joined.

Not to be rude or anything but if a game is making you so pissed and you are in literal tears.
You should really take a breather again or begin to use Poetic's for the MCH and save until then.

You won't be able to use existing WoD gear on a Machinist anyway unless SE decides that they will share gear with a current job, because all DPS WoD gear (with the exception of casting stuff) is job-specific.

SE can change it how they changed MNK gear pre 2.4 and add Machinist to Bard gear pre 3.0

They might, or they might not. We have no idea how it's going to work yet, so there's no point in driving yourself crazy trying to get gear that isn't even guaranteed to be usable by the job you want.

Just wait and see what they're going to do with it first.
