[Rocl]

You could've also given it to him before it went to your inventory

[Marcicus]

Anyone have a gearset for a lv50 DRG? I plan on hitting it today after I get off work.

[Datonare]

Main: Primal / GC > Giantsgall > Hart+1
Head: Paragon Crown > Cobalt Elmo / AF
Body: Darksteel Haub x1-2+ Piety > Cobalt Haub x1-2+ Piety > AF
Hands: Felt Bracers x1-3 STR > AF
Legs: Felt Trousers x2 str/vit(or dex) (with at least +20~ total str) > Militia Subligar (if you do hamlet) / AF ... Probably won't need the piety on subligar if you can double meld your body, but obv depends on other gear too
Waist: If uldah, flame sash > veteran's field belt
Feet: If uldah, flame sergeant's jackboots > cobalt sollerets

Accessories depends on the rest of your gear, but you'll want some acc and str rings depending on food and what you're fighting. Explorer's choker is nice too, but pretty expensive

Didn't include DL gear, if you have it or access to it you should know where to fit it in

[Fievel]

I coulda traded that thing in for seals? I dropped it ~_~;

Ouch, yeah it actually trades in for a decent amount of seals.

[LD]

Of course I didn't learn that until it hit my inventory.

[Vuitton]

Of course I didn't learn that until it hit my inventory.

You mean the people who wanted it didn't see it drop into your loot list and then not spend the next 5-7 minutes repeatedly asking you in party chat to give it to them before it dropped from your loot list to your inventory? Because that is always what happens to me when something falls into my loot list that someone else wants.

[LD]

Why would I be paying attention to something I didn't care about? I saw people talking about the mail and tuned right the fuck out.

[Vuitton]

Yikes, I hope I never party with you. I rely on party members to constantly monitor the party chat for instruction, strategy, questions/answers, ect. I can't be bothered to deal with someone *in a party* who is not a team player. Why would you even run a dungeon without knowing how loot is distributed? Whatever grief was experienced in your group originated solely from you.

[Rocl]

Loot system is still retarded as is though, he is right about that. He's also an idiot too, but doesn't change the fact loot system needs a serious change.

[Fievel]

They have said that they're changing it, no?

[Raldo]

Yeah, they've said on multiple occasions that they want to implement their own variation of loot distribution by taking cues from the "need/greed" system.

I hope it's a setting, because sometimes it's just plain easier to have your own loot pool.

[LD]

You jumped right over the point, mate. We obviously beat the monster to get the loot, so I obviously paid attention enough to understand the fight. Just because the loot was unimportant to me doesn't mean everything was unimportant. If you then said that fight wasn't complicated enough for me to have to go over details or that my not dying to it doesn't mean anything, then obviously I would have been right to not give a fuck.

There's a different between not caring who gets one penis extender and not caring about what kills you on the boss.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Wait, someone got all salty over a solid scale mail? What is this, august 2011?

[LD]

FUCKING THANK YOU.

[Gadritan]

FUCKING THANK YOU.

Oh hush. You're sitting here bragging about ogre. OGRE. A nerfed down version with players buffed up no less.

[Churchill]

Not to mention, mail comes from the chest.

Like I said before, there were probably people there for the sole reason of farming some quick seals.

[Gadritan]

Yeah, it's not like it was lost in some sort of chaos and confusion. Lots of herp going around today.

[LD]

How am I bragging? Vuitton was trying to make a point about strategy and I made a point about how that's bullshit. Also, I was there for my last AF because since I actually started paying for this game I've played this game for like 2 months cumulatively. ~_~; Also, I'm not at all denying that what I did was stupid. If it makes you feel any better, the instance glitched and everything except the trigger for batraal despawned, including the AF box. Unfortunately, it also cleared out the imperials for the "In the Dark" one of my members was trying to clear, so yeah. At least LD didn't get something he wanted.

[miokomioko]

Herps and derps.

In the end, the loot system is complete caca. Especially in a case like this where a newer player has no idea that they have a responsibility (or capability) to pass/claim items that drop to them.

[Raldo]

If it makes you feel any better, the instance glitched and everything except the trigger for batraal despawned, including the AF box.

The fuck? This shit better be fixed in 2.0. Reminds me of those doors in Toto-Rak that sometimes don't lower for some people, leaving them stuck.
