there are more than one way to get gear. most people gear their alts with alliance raids. in the end, though, it doesn't matter. no one rolls for the gear to be greedy. they roll because they need it in some way. i think this makes everyone equal with rolling, instead of people who just roll stuff to get the gear they don't even need. a.k.a selling them for gc seals, get materia etc. etc. i have seen many times a lv70 tank rolls need on something on lv60 raids. maybe someone needs that gear to gear their lv60 tanks? did you think of that i wonder.

in the end, everyone loots what they need for. it is weekly locked so not everyone is getting all the gears. it is fine as it is now imo.
They would lot if they want that specific piece, for whatever reason, either glamour or just to have it to level into or whatever. If anything drops that you want, it's best for you to lot on it lockout or not, because you never know when it'll drop again. And sometimes people lot just to get ANYTHING, because they've run it a bunch and don't want their lockout to go to waste. Also people don't typically keep running after they get their item, so pretty much everybody in the run isn't going to be locked out at the start of every run.

If someone wants level 60 tank gear from a 24 man it's solely for glamour. That would be a terrible way to gear a job and if someone is running old content to get substandard gear that's going to be outdated and worthless once they get to level 61 then it's probably for the best if somebody stops them by needing it.
