Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Yeastyloins]

At least with PF, I think the largest issue comes from the fact that there is nothing to stop individuals from rolling need on gear they do not "need". Nothing prevents a person from joining a PF in full bis and just swiping gear left and right from others who need something which makes every piece of loot outside of actual weapon drops from the final turn a 1/8 chance to win which in a way permanently difficult to get gear consistently outside of books. However I don't think there is a solution to this though without causing more issues and making it nigh impossible to gear alt jobs. The only thing I can think of is maybe making it so you are able to win two piece of gear from each floor, so for example you win the twine from P7s but lose the roll for the legs, then you could jump right back into P7s and clear it again for another chance on the legs. But I would be reluctant to the idea since it seems super strenuous on the player to have to double clear in the best case scenario every single floor, even worse should you not get your pieces within 1 to 2 clears per floor.

The issues with gearing is difficult to say what the optimal solution is since there are clear issues but the path forward is unclear.
