Rolling for loot!

Back to the topic, i think what people, mostly linkshell leader want is more tool for the loot part. I would hate to see a guy getting a loot that he can't equip (well have no use to it) that the linkshell work hard to get.

I'd like more player options for loot. My husband and I duo alot of play with another friend, we all know who needs what. As the system is atm. we need to stop and give the loot to one or the other, or trade. Trading is slow and tedious, inventory room is sparse. I much raher have a screen pop up on screen where we can pass or roll accordingly to our situation.

For normal partying with strangers or whatever, i agree, the current system is pretty nice and leads least to grieving.

My vote: give us a choice.

i vote for manual lotting with the current system u guys are saying ppl can play keep the item even though you requested in advance. and it can happen anywhere with anyone . LS included plus what about bound items that may get added. that and i love to gamble im irish.

I want a global loot pool and for people to "loot" oh wait a minute, just like XI.

The current system in XIV makes it too easy for people to steal items, and people DO because this is the interwebs.

manual rolling is the same thing we have now(its done automaticaly so we dont have to push an extra button)
nothing will stop people from rolling on something they cant use so you still end up witht he same complaint people have now about it.

the only thing manual rolling does is add 1 more thing in the way of getting group loot, that makes you stop what you are doing to do it

Maybe not a random loot but, they can implement the /random command, for these items that more than 1 people may want.

The ones that don't want it, just pass the item, and the ones who want it /random and the higher number takes it. Just need to pray the ones that lost pass the item : /

You don't have to stop and trade... all you have to do is pass the item. If everyone passes except the person who needs it, then it will go to them.

I don't understand your logic here. It was way easier to steal items in FFXI than it is in FFXIV. During a party, it was pretty easy for someone to ninja loot if they waited until they started attacking the next mob. People would miss the roll in the chat log. There were lots of d-bags that would steal Beastcoins this way.

It's impossible to "steal" items in FFXIV.

Totaly right on this point, the system now is the best for normal party, the thing is when it come to event like NM or possibly "Raid dongeon" they can keep stuff that people working hard to get that they dont even need. This is internet there will always be bastard making drama if they can.

The issue is what do you define as theft of an item.

My linkshell has a lot order, if the Game randoms an item to a member that is not the person who I say should get it and that person refuses to give up the item to the right person. It is theft. Just because the game gives them the item it does not make it theirs.

And with the FFXIV system it is impossible to stop that from happening. In FFXI I gave people 3mins to pass or I kicked them from party. Once I was sure the person getting it was going to get it I passed and the item droped.
