Sometimes I get really upset by some ppl in FFxiv...

Long story short me and my friends were trying to get me some P4S weapon chests, we only got 7 people, so we stated our need in party finder, we will pay 1m gil for passing those chests.
And then a reaper join in, that reaper was super chatty, post toolbox link when one of us made a mistake, explaining mechanics, etc, so we thought okay this is a friendly person and willing to cooperate.
SO I DID NOT TURN ON LOOTMASTER. Omg this was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life.
After the raid all my friends passed on the chests and that reaper cast bigger numbers and got both the chests.
Having trust issues now.

Good. You've just learned a lesson and become an adult welcome to the club and never take people at their word.

You are the one at fault here but that doesn't mean he is less guilty for being a dick.

Innocence is beautiful.

Should take just one time to learn the lesson. Sigh.

I had this problem with static. I needed to recruit outside my friends circles. And the SAM we met was good.
And he stayed till the end, like till we disbanded the static in high spirits and shockingly adult manner because the schedules changed and expectations had grown, but also unfortunately to contradict themselves.

I ran very stupid, trusting loot distribution principle we had ran before the SAM joining us. The same my former statics had used without problem.
"DPS > tanks/healers. Need if it is your BiS. Greed if it is stuff you want for alts, funsies or whatever."

As SAM he was entitled to pick stuff first. But it didn't stop when he had his BiS together. Extra chests, finally tank/healer upgrades, suspiciously "oops" accidental needs even after he was told "don't, please" more than once.

Naturally lootmaster fixed that. Till this day... don't really know if he was disingenuous or just dense.

I don't think lootmaster should be seen as attestation of unreasonable distrust. Just insurance that stuff goes as it should go.
