Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Fendred]

I've posted this elsewhere, but my suggestion would just be to change it into a purely currency based system. Either each fight rewards a fixed amount of special tomestones appropriate for the boss's position in the raid tier, or do that and have one chest. The chest when popped gives 4 random people a bonus tomestone. The objective of the system being to give people the most special tomestones from the clear and the chest being a very minor bonus.

I also like Amh's idea of making future purchases less expensive if someone has already gotten a piece for that slot.
