Preliminary Dicing Discussion

Well, there has been a bit of a discussion already about mordy drop dicing.
Before we can vote or decide how the drops will be diced/distributed we need to discuss some possible options. Once we have reached a sort of consensus about some possible options, then we can vote. It seems to me that there are several options open for discussion.

1. We can leave the current system in place. (188+ gets 2 rolls for 190 req drops.)
2. Players can only dice for items that they can equip (i.e. only 185+ could dice for a 185 req drop)
3. All players eligible to fight may dice all drops. (Dicing would still be by class. i.e. mages roll for mage braces and druids roll for grimores with nature magic ability.)
4. I assumed with the first three options that the req to fight stayed the same (185 for melee and 180 for support characters). Another option might be one of the three above (or another entirely) in combination with a change in the lvl req to fight.

These are just a starting point for a discussion. Discuss! Propose other ideas, but keep it civil, please.

How about it's as simple as if you're eligible to fight, you're eligible to dice.

If you can fight you should be able to dice...

I dont believe the 'if you can fight you should be allowed to dice' rule really works that well for casters. A lot of the casters are 180 and letting them have same chance to dice for 190 drops as a 188+ or even allowed to dice at all for 190 drops doesnt seem quite right. More input on what to do with casters would be nice.

I like Elle's idea and i like the idea that people can only dice for items that are their req. Even raising the req for double dicing sounds nice. It's good to create some incentive to lvl.

Levelling to get a CHANCE at an item that may not drop for ages isn't an incentive to level. Owning an item that you're 5 levels away from using is.

Re: suggestion for level 190 mordris drops

First off, the 188 rule was proposed before otm added higher lvl mobs. It makes no sense now. Wouldn't be opposed to only lvl 190+ rolling on lvl 190 req items, but for this to be fair, would have to be voted in only by people under lvl 190.
In any case, you have all made valid points and the consensus seems to be that if you make the lvl req for the fight, you can roll for anything that boss drops. The lvl req should remain as is:
185 melee
180 casters
Simple.
