Raid gear

[b3nzyme]

Hey. I just found out about aglaia. I just started playing ff14 when endwalker came out. After playing aglaia, i found out about the one loot per week rule AFTER I greeded on something i didnt even need. (What?!?! seriously??? why even have a greed option, then?)

I'm sick of spending weeks on here in pain because of rules that i am not used to and no way expected at all. I am used to world of warcraft's need button being on the right and pass on the left. Oh BOY GREAT DAY IF FF14 DOESNT PUT THEIR NEED BUTTON ON THE LEFT. I needed on something I didnt want, ran aglaia again, because I didnt even see the notification that I won a roll on something that I rolled a 20 on - pantheon robe of casting (YOU KNOW, THE ROBE EVERYBODY SEEMS TO WANT BUT I DONT AND I WON IT WITH A 20). I logged on monday after the maintenance thinking that ff14 decided to reset early, because on WoW, when they do maintenance, they do it on the same day of the reset so as not to minimize time. After coming home from work, I logged on and couldnt play because of the maintenance that i didnt even care about. Now it's tuesday and I come home from work and accidentally get something I didnt even need after being insanely angry yesterday that I wasted my time at some point doing an aglaia after maintenance thinking that i was going to get loot and the reset hadn't happened yet. Now the day had come, and I still wasted my time again and now apparently ANOTHER WHOLE WEEK! I ran aglaia after getting that peice of gear not knowing that I even got it, because I missed the notification due to all of the spam that happens because ff14's default window is too small and contains too many spam messages at one time, forcing people more quickly to separate windows in order to see things. (DIDNT EVEN HEAR THE JINGLE THAT COMES WITH RECEIVING A PEICE OF LOOT... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THATS WHTA I WAS LISTENING FOR)

Is there a place i can turn in this peice of gear and just go back and re run it for a chance to get something I actually want and not waste my time today.. I ran aglaia TWICE and now typing all of this when IM JUST ABOUT DONE WITH THIS GAME!

You can only get one drop in the raid each week. Don't roll on things you don't want like everyone else.

[weebtext]

When a 24man is new it'll always be one gear piece a week. It even warns you in the loot menu that you can only get one piece.

[Veranolth]

Take it from someone who also came from WoW... Don't play XIV like it is WoW.

[Atelier-Bagur]

uh...OP?


you alright? Show us where FFXIV hurt you.

[Vahlnir]

Live and learn. Just roll on things you want next time.

Are they spending so much time preventing bad results that they dont consider doing the polar opposite as well (every action, having an equal and opposite) by... you know.. allowing people who dont equip the gear because of a mistake made to turn it back in and in all fairness run this again because IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RESET and now ive got to wait again.... unfairly because somehow people dont know how to be honest in all their dealings and be real and sincere to one another... causing every game in existence to set up rules to prevent people from being horrible to one another.. why not consider those who don't do those things and let us have something from this game? I mean i loved this game and all but here lately im seriously so struggling inside of myself as to what to do right now because stuff like this just sends me over the edge and... i mean you guys dont know my history in games and what all i did on wow. I ... i cant even begin please dont make me have to type it all im just saying there needs to be something. Heck, I even looked this up on google to see if maybe there was a way to upgrade it to make it useful (long shot since i already have a 600 chest peice and won a 590 from the raid) i mean really wowww... thats where i learned its "highly sought after" what a way to rub it in. i dont even want it?!

OP what in the seven hells are you talking about?

[b3nzyme]

reworded : is the development team spending so much time and energy trying to prevent bad results from players (people who keep being toxic, therefore they ban add ons... people who abuse systems... they set up rules... people who ruin the game... so they set up rules for raiding... people who might progress too fast for how the game is suppsoed to be played... so they limit gear) that they dont even consider people who might not be trying to do those things... maybe spend some time thinking about people who arent trying to ruin the game for others. like, "oh, you know what? we have noticed there are some people who are getting items other people wanted due to mistakes... maybe we can allow them to trade unwanted items to others who rolled for it instead of making them run it again for another shot at that loot if they so choose and making the other person LIKE ME have to WAIT ANOTHER WEEK to go and get something they ACTUALLY WANT) are they not thinking of things like that because they are spending so much time preventing bad people from being bad? This isnt fair or right and it prevents progress. Everything in the world and life is so bad because people are bad that everything is literally preventing all progress for humankind on earth.


actually no im not going to keep typing and explaining. open your mind and dont ask for me to further explain

answer the question or dont. this is too much to have to do

I'll be honest, your situation is a first for me since I dont think anybody ever goes into raiding "accidentally" rolling for loot they cant equip.

1. Aglaia is the current alliance raid tier, so the content is padded out to ensure the activity doesnt just completely die out within a month or so. If you were able to bis gear up your character in just a few days by running current raids repeatedly then that invalidates the longevity of the content. This was the case for Pandaemonium Normal gears where the token items you acquire were only limited weekly, but now that new and better gear is out they lifted that restriction.

2. Greed option is there because people can obtain gear for alt jobs. If the raid gated you to being able to only acquire item pieces your current job can only equip then that makes gearing up other classes a hassle, since not everyone wants to feel forced to run content on a job they might not have the required item level to enter.

3. Blaming the devs for not being able to address every single little issue over others is disingenuous. Now I totally understand some of the more popular problems this game have been a thing people were waiting (and still are) for them to fix for a looooong time, and thats perfectly valid. But Its kinda petty and childish on your part to whine about them not fixing your problem over others.

4. Now you know how current raiding gearing works. You almost always only allowed one item upgrade a week till a new tier drops. The best I would suggest if you're being very genuine over your "greed' mistake is to go to a GM and explain the situation. I'm not sure if they'll be able to help you about maybe retrying this week for an item you need but it doesnt hurt to ask as long as you're not...well...basically as long as you dont type it out in the rabid way like you did here with this thread lol.
