Smart loot

[EmmetOtter]

In games where your character can only be 1 class, smart/class-specific loot drops makes a lot of sense. Unless SE also added a Loot Spec option where you could select which job you wanted to target the drops for, job-specific drops wouldn't always be desirable.

Honestly I would prefer SE ditched the Need/Greed/Pass as the default loot and just go for greed-only with either you getting or not getting loot automatically. One less dialog box to click through repeatedly.

They would though with this system. It would be called, running the dungeon on the job you want loot for.

And, no. Sometimes ppl actually need a piece of gear that drops. I think a lot of us also run content on jobs we want the gear for just to help guarantee we get it. It would be infuriating to farm caster gear on a caster to have the drg get the 6 caster pieces that dropped when you only got the one at the end of the dungeon. This would also be a be burden to ppl leveling or just finishing a patch and needing dungeon gear as temp catch up pieces. A single click for need/greed is the least of the clicking woes this game has. A retainer click overhaul is much more sorely needed, as just a single example.

But we hae that for short while and everyone effin hated it. Or, at osasto enough people hated it. Myself included.

The problem with smart loot is that this game isn't class locked like most other MMOs. In any other game you're guaranteed to be running the dungeon on the class you want loot for, but that's not always the case here. People often run things on one job with the intent of gearing up another. Only being able to get loot for your current job would be a major turn off for a lot of people.

They tried that briefly back in SB but it was so universally hated that they removed it again almost immediately.
