PLD, with Relic, in Revenant FC rolled need on Garuda weapon... c'mon man!

[Convenience]

I was in a Garuda df group, 2-3 hours ago, and we got a solid kill on the second attempt. There were two PLD tanks in the group, myself being one of them. They had his/her relic items (http://na.finalfaasdfasdfaasdntasyxi...e/achievement/ - you can see they earned the acheive for it back on 9/21), and I was sporting an Ifrit weap. I was excited b/c it's the first time I've seen the sword drop in 20ish kills.

But, he rolls need (http://i.imgur.com/Za5dsdfgsdfVBH.jpg - ss or it didn't happen :P ), wins the roll, and I'm obviously not a happy camper. I mean, other than for RP i guess, there is zero value in needing on this drop when you have the relic. You can't sell it, there's no achievement for obtaining it, and you can't turn it in for seals.

C'mon man!


* Okay, fine. Collecting is a valid reason to roll need on end-game gear you will never use except to admire in your armoire or w/e. Is this a traditional FFXI/FFXIV 1.0 thing? Not something I've encountered in other MMO communities...
* Edited the post so I no longer specifically name the player to everyone who reads this forum.

And this needed its own post why?

You mad you lost a roll?

I'm mad b/c it was a jerk move. Already prefaced post with I understand life isn't fair. Just behavior like this that makes people hate pugging instances.

I have a relic.

I'm doing Garuda because I also want her lance.

Perhaps the player is a collector and wants to get one of each primal weapon for his class for looks. You don't have the right to say that they can't roll for something just because you want it.

Not the point. He had the relic sword already and rolled need on the Garuda sword which would be a downgrade for him. Everyone is free to roll greed all they want on gear that nobody can use. Don't think anyone cares about that.

Let me clarify (although I thought it was pretty clear already):
I have a lance relic. I also want a Garuda's lance for my collection. It's the only reason I'm running it, and I will need roll if it drops.

I imagine it's the same thing for that guy.

If you don't want to roll, leave party a stay only on parties with a WAR as a second tank.

He killed the boss. He can roll on loot.

This post is crying about it.

Maybe a good idea is to join a FC and idk *gasp* do Garuda with them to get gear, and not be carried by people with relics.

You can go back to Diabolos forums now.

Maybe he want to spiritbond it
Maybe he want to keep it for collection purposes
That's his right

Or, or, *gasp* that Relic'd Tank shouldve grouped with his own friends for his collection instead of running with DF people who need the weapons more than him. :3
