Change Party Settings for maps

[347SPECTRE]

I honestly just set it to global FFA. When I do maps I tend to do a lot of them so everyone usually gets plenty of profit. Never had issues with people doing loot-n-scoot.

Wouldn't maps fall under loot agreements, therefore covered by GM services? If the party has a loot agreement and someone doesn't honor it they can be reported and the item will be removed from them.

That said, yes they should add a loot rule setting, the game already recognizes the map owner as the only person able to interact with the chest, shouldn't be that hard to set it so only they can hit need.

GMs can't do anything about items. I've been told this before by GMs in game.

If someone raids the FC chest and takes everything and leaves the GMs can't do anything about it because 'they were given the chance to'.

If you share a house with someone and they take all the furniture, it's because 'they were given the chance to' and GMs won't cover any of that.

The most that happens is the person who took said things gets in trouble, but items can't be taken away/given back in any scenario that I've personally seen. And with how the rules are, people still 'have a chance' to take loot that they shouldn't have upon a pre-agreed group.

You're talking about a whole different scenario, if you give someone permission to take items from a FC chest then that person has permission to take whatever they want. This is not the same as explicit loot agreements for parties.

Personally I agree with this. The owner of the map should be given automatic chance to roll Need on the loot that drops from both it and the canals while others are set to Greed Only. It'd be a simple enough coding change and it would stop issues like people going after the excessively rare items that they wouldn't even have gotten if not for nicking it from someone else's map basically. For those saying no, why are you opposed exactly to the owner of a map getting dibs? You are all working together sure, but random gil, materia, other items are still a thing. Thief's maps, the rare minions, songs etc should be first served to those who initially brought the map in the first place plus if they don't actually need it, then its up for grabs from there.

Selling me a party slot to do it with them.

But who would ever pay to join a thiefs map?

You can't solo it, you can't trade it, when you're already in a map group you have the ideal opportunity to run it. That person was shooting themselves in the foot. They get blacklisted by a map group, have a wasted map in their bag and lose out all chance of the loot inside out of greed. I'm inclined to assume this was an isolated case of idiocy on their part.
