    Void Ark Loot System

    So, SE, why would you do this?? Here I am, running Void Ark as a Pally, fending legs that I need drop, and Maiming Helm that I don't, having not even unlocked Dragoon.. So I pass on the helm and need the pants and what do you do? Force me to take the helm as my weekly drop? Why? Why would you think this is a good idea?

    Please explain to me how the above is supposed to be a positive feature of this game. We only get one drop a week, that's fine, but explain to me how randomly forcing loot no-one wants onto someone to eat up their one per week drop makes anyone happy. This is a game... it is supposed to be challenging... but most importantly FUN... How does this make it more fun? Is there ANYONE who has enjoyed this feature yet?

    Anyone from SE feel like commenting?

    It wouldn't force the helmet on you at all, something tells me you hit Greed instead of Pass. if everyone votes pass it'll just say "unable to obtain (item name here)". It will never force it on anyone unless people haven't voted in which case the people that have voted pass are excluded and the people that haven't hit need, greed, or pass at all will just get the drop randomly.

    that makes no sense, but write a bug report if it makes you happier

    Yeah it makes no sense. You clearly didn't hit pass.
    To have gotten the item you would have had to hit greed or just not rolled at all

    I ended up with Dragoon gauntlets last week, thinking I'd clicked Pass. I guess I must've accidentally Greed rolled.

    *shrug* It's level 50 right now but I'll level it up eventually so it's kinda w/e.
