Thread: Hope raid loot rules are changed for 4.0

EDIT: Nope, Haelse's right. This could indeed be abused by use of alts.

I would personally rather see this approach the opposite extreme. As long as weekly loot is capped per character, the "all in one" aspect of FFXIV actually hurts itself. Any raider would be better off using a separate alt, allowing themselves more weekly loot and currency. I'd rather FFXIV actually made a system that works with their advertised unique "all in one" idea.
