Why make Priority weapons when the system already does a lot?

[Nuru]

PUG = Pick Up Group
PGL = Pugilist (It's not abbreviated as PUG thats just what ppl use cause they can remember it easier.)

Oh okay, I do remember PUG used to be the abbrev for Pugilist. That's what got me confused. Anyways, even when in a PUG, those rules should still apply to any party leader that has common sense.

Pugs? Unless you mean Pugilist, or that fish mob from FFXI, I don't understand what you mean by that.

Pick Up Groups.

Loot system is definitely rigged. It tends to drop to the same person more often than it should, your own words kind of prove that. However, the loot system in general is stupid.

What does priority here means? certain person gets before others or you pick which weapon you wants before a run?

Before you do the run everyone in the party says what weapon they want so if that weapon drops it doesn't matter who it drops to they pass it to the person that called that weapon.

That is the way most pick up group does things because while the system does the randomized system itself, it doesn't know what jobs you want to gear up. Does the system knows you want WHM cane? i dont think so.

If there is no clear loot rules, you might not even get WHM cane at all because someone else that doesnt even want them might keep getting'em and decide to just sell it after.

Don't join parties when you can't agree to what they want to do.

Frankly, if a weapon drops to me that I need, I'm not usually going to surrender it. I'm perfectly content to let the system handle it and keep it objectively random.

I agree if I would of joined and no one wanted to set priorities, I would of still needed the WHM cane but the BLM would of gotten it and he would of kept it and i wouldnt be mad at all cause its his.

The reason im kinda mad is because we didnt do that our leader wanted to do that stupid priority rule so i was just like ok ill call it that i want the cane, he wanted the axe. So I shoulda got it cause i called it. If i didnt call it i woulda been perfectly ok cause thats just the way the system woulda distributed it out

Dude...don't. trust. pick up groups. Random ppl are famous for basically not playing by whatever rules the party establishes. The more guild members you run with, the higher chance you have of the item you want going to someone that will pass it to you.

How about, because it really is more fair that the person who needs the weapon the most, gets it. Why should someone who already has or doesn't need the weapon, get it just because it dropped on him, when someone who does need it also helped in the fight?
