I am talking both about Beastman Strongholds and the Ifrit Fight, the fact that Items drop directly into your inventory instead of going into a loot list does not seem right. The items from chests should instead, go directly into your loot list where you can choose to distribute it among your fellow teammates, if you choose to do so.

Today, my Linkshell was farming one of the chests in Natalan, I was lucky enough to get a rare piece of gear, but sadly, it was for a lvl 50 mage job, and was unique and Untradable. I don't ever plan on leveling a mage job, and since we had been farming for a few hours, this was quite disheartening to get something that is ultimately completely useless for me. I would have rather seen one of our mages get it.

A similar thing happened a week ago, where my LS went to kill the Beastman King at Zahar'ak. We were able to get a gold key from the guy, a person who mainly plays mage jobs opens it, and ends up getting Sentinels Pants. Luckily they were in the process of leveling Gladiator, but they really wanted to give it to someone who was playing a Tank all the time.

I know the Ifrit Weapons work in a similar fashion, you open the chest, and get a random weapon directly into your inventory, and can't pass it to someone who might actually need it.

I would much rather have these things drop into a Loot List, that way you are not completely wasting good items that other group members may need.
