This is similar to a response i made in another thread, but i will say it again as it may be more appropriate here.
i have many issues with choosing people to outfit:
1. i much prefer to get drops from someone cause they want to give to me, not because they were forced.
2. what happens if i solo a ph4 and get a drop. if i get enough and someone sees me with gloves am i exiled forever. hardly seems fair
3. if i were lower level, why would i ever bother to go to a boss fight? there may be 15 people 'in front' of me
and how in the world would we ever make a list we can agree on. maybe mages and rangers could do it cause we are somewhat small. but the others? and even with rangers, there are about 6 high level rangers, but some dont show up to a ton of fights (but to some fights) but are really high level.
I would also like to point out that this system does have the intended effect of outfitting us fastER than the old system (frozen). Please don't confuse fastER and more efficiently, with FAST. I think things become way to boring if we are just forced to give up drops to a specified person. I dont want someone giving me a drop cause they have to, but because they want to. I want to give drops to the rangers i think are good player, or who i want to foster - which may not necessarily be the next person on the 'list'.
also, when would i get to collect horns/crowns for the offhand? after every ranger over 170 is fully armored?
I think it is a nightmare waiting to happen if we go this way. If you think there are posts and anger now...
The keys to a working system imo:
1. the rules have to be consistent and fair
2. people, for the most part, have to accept them and understand them
3. there shouldnt be a lot of room to cheat
4. People should have a reason to keep leveling, camping, and coming to boss fights
5. it has to be better than what we had
Our current rules basically satisfy these requirements. With the exception of the rule about full dl people dicing, which is under review.
my sense is not that we think the rules are bad, but it is just taking sooooo freaking long to collect drops - and to do so requires tons of really boring camping. so, high levels are left with the choice of boring grinding or boring camping. Both are seemingly nearly futile (lvling is very slow and expensive, and we can camp all day and just see the bolg boss drop a blue egg).
i really think making a list will cause far more problems than it solves. Please don't take away all my freewill
