Stop being so selfish.

[jcw005]

All I can say is that all the defensive posts in this thread have succeeded in achieving only one thing - to validate OP's declaration that you are selfish.

the lot rules for DF groups are: if you are playing the class the gear is for, you may roll NEED/GREED/PASS on it FOR ANY REASON YOU WANT TO and if you are NOT playing the class the gear is for, you may roll GREED/PASS on it FOR ANY REASON YOU WANT TO

anything else is your own MADE UP RULES, and to be able to use those, you must form/join a party with players who WANT TO USE YOUR MADE UP RULES

ppl who join a random DF group in order to use the random DF group lot rules ARE PLAYING BY THE RULES OF THE GAME - if you dont like that, stay outta random DF groups and go form your own groups and use your own made up lot rules

Normally I greed anything that isn't an upgrade for the class I'm playing.

However, I'm running friends repeatedly through Brayflox to gear them up and get used to it before they reach the harder tier of dungeons....best believe I'm needing it if I can get my hands on the Battlemage robes which have only dropped ONCE in almost 30 runs there. To hell with my competition. I expect the issue will become worse when Cosmetic costume changes come in...people will want to get their hands on those rare drops, especially since so few caster outfits look even remotely decent

Honestly the OP is the selfish one, hes asking people who won the lottery roll to skip on loot they rightfully won and then trying to call those people selfish... what a selfish jerk.

You do realize the simple principle of supply and demand right? The more supply dungeon provides, the lower the demand will be for crafted substitutes. If it was up to me, the dungeons would give zero gear; at least for now I am doing the next best thing, which is to transfer as many loot possible into seals to get exp bonus for my mining/botany/fisher classes.

If I had the option to "sacrifice" all my drops in such way that all my drops went to the party instead of me, in exchange for making all equip drops for whole party being turned to seals for them, I would do so. Unfortunely, I do not have that option.

They need to add another simple check to their Need/Greed system:

Is the item in question higher ilvl than the item you are currently wearing?
Yes = Need.
No = Greed.

Problem solved.

It's very tricky.. I used to pass all items because I thought newer people needed them, then I went to town and saw people using all those items I pass to turn into materia when I wouldn't have minded them for my archanist. After that I started needing on a few items but not materia/gc seal ones. I joined Brayflox for main story line and was immediately questioned on why I was doing brayflox and if I was gonna take the gear from them. Personally yes, I would love the gear for my arc but just because I came into a duty with leveled down gear as tank doesn't mean I don't have a right to gear as well. I will obviously pass to you if your not capped and needing it for your levels but just because im tanking (and 50) doesn't mean I wouldn't like a battlemage robe for the only job I have to level yet.

Tldr: Just because someone comes as a certain job doesn't mean they couldn't use it on another job so don't assume its being greedy please.

Simple solution is to go in as the job you want gear for so you can need it.

[DSN]

With a Vanity system being introduced I am collecting gear for that purpose alone. Let alone that I can turn gear in for GC Seals.

If you mention before the run starts "Hey if you don't need X Class Gear I would appreciate if I could grab it for my other job" I have no problem in letting you grab stuff, you just have to say something. I had someone get really pissed the other day when I won a ACN Book on a greed and they said "I could have used that on my other job". Look, I don't keep track of what other classes you are playing and what gear you have or want esp. in the Duty Finder.

The simple solution is to speak up before the run starts, if no one says anything I just press Greed and run to the next spot and I do this quick like as I am the tank and should be ready for the next pull. Most people I have run across in the Duty Finder have been pretty cool, I have even see 2 identical classes ask each other do you need X item do you mind if I Need it and the other pass to them.

Communication is key and communication with your group more so than the forums / community

Lovely, people go full rage mode if someone shows up to a high level fight in mid level gear. Yet in this thread, people are admitting that their 'need' for gil or seals is higher than the need of someone who will actually wear the gear.

Mind boggling.
