End game gearing needs these tweaks...

[Kolsykol]

The books are your personal loot.

I imagine if everyone got gear instead of having a roll, it would be RNG on whether or not you got a piece still.

8 people are not walking out of savage with gear from a single fight.

I never said they should remove the books and I gave my opinion on them too and what I think they should do with them.
It'd still be RNG because the piece you need might not drop but your chances are A LOT higher and even if it doesn't you'll still at least get something for an alt or a temporary piece.

8 people aren't walking out with a piece of gear in the current system and wouldn't necessarily do so in the system I suggested either.
I dunno how many pieces precisely but I think there should still be a limit how many you could '' claim '' hence why I said that you got pass to take the risk on other parts dropping on higher floors.

Personal loot would drastically speed up gearing. Even if it was just a single item from the current pool, it would mean double the amount of loot per run.

I don't exactly see the issue with this especially not in FFXIV, gear some alts, do the fights because they're fun.
They could just remove the books altogether with personal loot.

Like I said I dunno how many gear pieces you should get it's not like I am saying you should be able to get full BiS in a week.
Imo when you can do all of the floors and get zero from it and then have people greeding on stuff they don't even need that you might for alts and win.
It's not a fun system.

Even with my suggested system of personal loot depending on how many pieces you get and your RNG you could actually gear up faster especially if you're being fed by your static with the current way it works.
Personal loot isn't guaranteed to gear you up faster but I think it's guaranteed to make the process feel less shitty for most people.
