All Greed on Alliance loot

[Alleo]

I did a google translate on a thread that is on the JP about this. they seem to be against greedy only mostly.

Well then it seems that mostly SE wanted this change and just used the JP as their reason if even quite some JP players on the forum are against it..so they make a lot of their western playerbase angry and still not even have all JP players on their side for that..perfect.

I've read a few responses highlighting the benefit of this change, but I'm afraid I don't really understand any benefit to this change.

I have a crazy idea...

Ok lets have All greed in Alliance Loot... BUT... hear me out... BUT!!! if you go as the class the loot its for you can click this little button... lets call it NEED, so you have priority in it.

I dont know maybe its too crazy to actually implement it.

I did a google translate on a thread that is on the JP about this. they seem to be against greedy only mostly. There's also mention of tokens. Someone saying it will take 64 runs to get an item. That this change is only being done to get you to play more. Someone said that its recommended to do Alliance raids to when you come back for a break, but after this change, they won't be able to recommend that anymore. Some just saying they are surprised that SE just considers Alliance raids for secondary jobs. There was also this odd translation that was put in quotes I kept seeing. I didn't get it at first but I think they are saying if you want the item, you go as the job that can use it.

If that is the case, then the devs are simply listening to the lowest common denominator who want things for glamour or get mad they can't need on something despite not even having the job unlocked.

Are you surprised? Lol

I really hope they don't follow through with this, I'd like to run this on MCH for both the gear and practice. Since I main WAR for raiding I don't get a lot of extra time on my MCH. I'm damn sure not taking my War in hopes of leaching some ranged gear >.<

Truly makes no sense.

Not even in the slightest. That seems to be the Stormblood motto, sadly.

I also feel the same but with non-melee DPS jobs yet why am I going to put up with longer queue times on a tank when I can run DPS and roll on anything I want? Granted, I'll only run this with friends so we can control loot. Afterwards? Once a week outside of for the shits and giggles. All this accomplishes is assuring I'll avoid queuing solo far more often, thus not helping the queue move.

With that said, we will be reading over community feedback when deciding if we will continue this approach or not in the future.

Please don't change alliance loot as greed-only. The system isn't broken so please don't 'fix' it.

[AkashiXI]

Unfortunately I doubt it going by the fact that the said they'd be taking in feedback only to decide if they should continue this trend in future Alliance Raids. That sounds suspiciously like they plan to push it through no matter how people feel and /then/ see about not doing it in the future. Best we can likely do is make it very obvious that it isn't an acceptable change and doesn't solve the problem they claim it does.

Square has always been a “break first, fix later” company, and this bleeds into FFXIV as well. I have no doubt that they’ll let this run far too long and fix it after the damage has been done.

Well thankfully the gear all looks absolutely hideous so far, so no need to run it more than once per week for me.

so... did Yoshida remove this idea yet or are we really gonna go ahead with this?
