Rolling for loot!

[Shaily]

then I re-read some posts..
Farming parties with people changing the loot every couple of minutes. There are RMT posting and requesting features on this board? In years of playing FFXI, I have never heard of such parties besides done by RMT.

Really? Two people, who focus on different crafts, go out to fight mobs that drop a particular item for something one of them wants to make. Naturally, they will not just get only that one item. They will doubtless pick up other things. Likely, things they don't want or need, but the other person helping them wants, and vice versa. You telling me you've never heard of people helping each other out, and splitting the rest of the loot based on who will actually use it? Just for fun, you might want to think about things like this before you go throwing RMT accusations around.

If more that just one item, there's always the TRADE system. Once the party is done, trade to the person who wanted the items and make a new friend if that person wasn't already a friend before.


Gezz.

You mean the trade system that is unbearably slow and only allows you to trade four items at a time? The trade system that actually takes LONGER to use then passing items from loot when you actually get them? Maybe, if the trading issues were fixed, this could possibly be an option. But right now? No chance. If I'm fighting a mob with somebody else that's dropping feathers and sinews left and right that I don't want, I certainly don't want to spend a good chunk of time later playing the time-consuming trade game if I don't have to.
