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

[Rau]

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

Pick Up Groups.

[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.

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.

To be honest, it isn't dickery at all. You are subjecting the already-established looting and are questioning why people loot on it again after that.

The way my LS does it, or any pick-up group for that matter, is that before we go in, we decide on who gets what drop. if 3 people want an axe, and the axe drops, then those 3 people roll for it. Whoever wins gets the axe, rinse and repeat. That way, everyone only picks one item and if that item drops, its easier and more efficient for them to get what they want instead of some douchebag claiming all items. You don't need to hand them out like Santa Claus, but for god sakes, don't complain here if your item dropped and you decided to give it away to someone else. You should have kept it for yourself and then if the item dropped again, someone else would get it.

um, maybe i didnt explain it good the first time? For the sake of time lets just say me (the WHM) and the BLM did skirmish we went in I said i wanted The Cane, the BLM said he wanted the Axe. The cane droped to the BLM so what your saying is the way your LS does it that means that he woulda passed the Cane to me. But he just warped out. So either you just mis understood me before or no thats not a dick move at all.

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

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.

I'm talking about if you had the Cane yourself and if you were to keep that cane, then it wouldn't be a dick move. lol

As far as Mr. Jerkface BLM goes, yeah he's a dick and deserves to be on your blacklist. Make it known to your LS and FFXIV fansites who he is and what he has done to you. Its the best way to red flag people for content and make it well-known for their douchebaggery.

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?
