Suggestion: Tweak to loot rules for collection-type items

[PirateCat]

Currently, players can't roll on untradeable items like mounts or minions if they have already obtained them. This makes a lot of sense, because the item would be useless to them and it could prevent a different player who needs it from getting it.

I would like to see something similar for items that do have a secondary use but which still have a clear "collected" flag attached to them, i.e. Triple Triad cards and tradeable minions and orchestrion rolls. Specifically, it would be nice if the game prevented a player from rolling Need on such items if they have already collected them. This would strike a good balance between giving players who don't have the item a good chance to get it while still allowing a possibility that someone who would sell the item or trade a card for MGP could still get it otherwise.

This would be especially useful for loot from 24-player raids. I know that I've Need rolled on cards and orchestrion rolls because I couldn't remember whether I had them or not, and the process of checking that would take long enough that I don't want to hold everyone up for it, only to have it turn out that I already had the item that I then won the roll on. I'm sure that a decent number of other people have done the same.

I don't see it nessary on tradeable minions and rolls for the sheer fact if you aren't lucky enough you can just go and buy it on the Market Board. The TT cards, on the other hand, I do agree with.

Some people would MGP all the ★★★★★ cards without ever adding them to their collection so they can always roll Need on them.

I mean, sure, it would be possible to circumvent the system, but if you're deliberately gimping your collection in order to farm 24 man raids for three 10-20 way rolls on the prospect of like 500 MGP per shot, you're just flat out doing it wrong.

aggree with the idea, sounds good.
the problem may be the same why they'll never add an information to let us know if we already have the triple triad card or the orchestrion roll. as soon as i remember its because of the constant data flow that would be required for such a thing all the time. The data needed is practically the same, so that may prevent that idea from happening
