My Cure cheat just
Small gold chest from a mandy slaughter in Tahrongi tonight.
CALM DOWN MAN!
He Obviously must have forgotten you can use 2 Jelly rings, or that everyone owns a D.ring.
Or that everyone puts their MDT and PDT Sets together.
Or that we can only equip one ring at a time.
...
We received a Dark Ring with Magic DMG-2%, so it's from Konschtats for sure.
the Dark rings are from kon. highlands bugards, my group got a -3% magic dmg one....
Thanks, kinda sucks how it comes from chest and doesn't sort to the pool. Someone on chest can just grab whatever item is in there and unfair to the DD killing who can't check chests etc.
Just have the person opening chests call out the item and have everyone random for it during battle (Or just those who can use). If he wants to play hardball, you just remind him of the following:
1. Chest person is usually a leech.
2. Chest person isn't getting kill hits, so them leaving won't fuck you over.
3. PT can see who obtains what.
Random chest items are part of the reason I've enjoyed runs with friends/LS more than when we've had to shout for members; for any really large money drops it makes sell/split easier, and people generally have closer bonds so are less likely to be dicks to each other over such small things.
Pick-up allies suck because you'll notice that designated chest openers just nab everything out of gold chests.
I'm usually the chest whore in my group, and since i buy dozens and dozens of keys simply to make things go smoother and to open those chests that like to fuck you over (You know what i'm talking about. 98 > lower... > 99 > fuck you game) I usually take the cheap Synth mats, Emeralds/etc.
When it comes down to spells/Items/etc i always tell people who have such-and-such job to /random for the spells, or Aug items if they want etc.
I think thats how it should be for the chest openers, as they spend the cruor they earn on keys (or should, just to be sure they do not fail any important chests) they would have rights to the cheaper synth mats, like the Jewels, and the occasional dragon meat, and any Augmented item/Scroll should be /randomed for. Realistically on the cheaper synth mats, with Rubys/Angelstones/etc crashed down to 8k on most servers, even on good runs they'll only make like 100k-200k, which, considering the cruor spent on keys is less than what everyone else could make simply buying armor from the NPC with the cruor they didn't spend on keys and AH'ing them for 30~60k
I know we don't do as much as others, but not everyone in the group wants to spend their cruor on keys just to guarantee no screw ups, or run back to the outpost to restock keys if you happen to run out, missing out on several kills even using confluxes, i think low-grade synth-mats is compensation enough for that...
Those chest openers who just go balls-to-the-walls and grab everything in sight to sell/NPC for the hell of it are annoying, but you should explain the lotting/random/chest rules well before you need to boot them =x
If they continue to lootwhore everything, BOOT EM!
Edit: And just incase my point was missed or TL;DR, i'm saying as a chest opener i think they should be able to take cheap shit, items worth under 10k simply as compensation for the cruor they spend on keys they could have used to AH some armor, I by no means say they should just lootwhore anything and everything sellable for it. If you get a Chest-opener who just grabs every augmented item/spell/synth mat without saying a word they need to be booted for lootwhoring.

Posting JPs in an augments thread.
o_O wow
Where I have seen that ring before..?
Yeah its just a matter of trust, but most pick ups there is someone who just grabs the shit from the chest. Ls runs its easier to maintain though.
We got a Cure Pot +5% Barb from a Tahrongi big chest. It had some other crap on it too (enemy crit -2, Charm resist +5 iirc).
I've also seen a Demon ring similar to the last posted one, but with +3% MCrit damage.
