Greed in 24 raid (rant)

[Lambdafish]

The point is if you're unlucky enough you can be rolling against seven other people for the same piece of gear and it's not even guaranteed to drop every time so you could end up not getting your loot in the lockout.

Last tier I almost didn't get my weekly loot because the piece I needed refused to drop until late monday night. If greed all was in the game back then I might have totally missed out on my weekly loot.

Greed all is little more than an unfair rng multiplier.

You can get unlucky enough to have that happen with N > G too. There is a weekly loot lock, so everyone would have a specific idea of what they want. The BRD in the OPs post obviously wants the MNK piece for a reason, and is just as entitled as the OP.

No, you can't ever run into the scenario in which you're rolling need on gear against up to seven players.

Greed only increases the chance of bad luck quiet dramatically.

Why do people believe that? The chances that every single other person in your party is wanting to spend their weekly lockout on the same piece of gear as you are not very high at all. At best you are rolling against 1 or 2 other people, which DPS were doing anyway in the N > G system.

I've seen gear drop to the floor more often than not, so the idea that 7 people want the same piece of gear as me at all times baffles me.

Why do people believe that?

Because it is possible. It was impossible when we could roll need. The chances of dps rolling against more than three players was very small when we could roll need. Now there's a chance that anyone can end up rolling against up to seven players.

I'm not sure why it baffles you. Everyone has the same priority on loot therefore there is a possibility that everyone wants the same item. Basic math.
