Chest Option Idea

[Liva]

<p>Hi There,</p><p>I have an idea/suggestion that I thought I would send to you guys. I know on an upcoming update you plan to make set class items only drop the classes that are in the raid. That's an improvement sure, but I have an idea that I feel may benefit everyone in this case. Here it goes.</p><p>This idea only works as group option: Loot - Group/Raid Leader Only When a chest drops you may right click the chest and the following options will appear. Open, Disarm, Examine, and CHOOSE. When the option choose is used it may only be used once and it will then bring up a new window. This new window will have a list of gear that can be selected from the particular chest. IE - Woushi chest will only have Woushi dropped gear. From the the raid/group leader may choose which gear will be inside the chest. If the chest has more than 1 item that will drop then the leader may pick more than 1 item.  Once the choices have been selected and the leader is done he/she may then proceed to open the chest and distribute the items the way they may see fit.</p><p>The choose option can also be only met for particular chests, IE final mobs, legendary, master chests, certain names, etc. Also if the leader does not use the choose option before they open the chest, then the normal random itemization procedure may take place.</p><p>Now the reason why I am suggestion this option is because, i'm a very active player in this game and as my experience in the game and raiding I have seem many many times loot drops end up thrown away and not needed. This happens for many reasons. 1. everyone person that can use the item already has it. 2. It has dropped so many times it is wasted and not needed.</p><p>This choose option would resolve this problem of unwanted gear droping and everyone will get rewarded more fairly. I believe it would benefit everyone. I would also like to talk to someone further about my idea, I hope that someone will read this and think it could be an excellent idea and possible for the future.</p><p>An Avid Player,</p><p>Diany/Laps</p>

The main problem with that is that it would allow people to gear up way too quickly...random drops means that stuff you need doesn't always drop but that's the only thing keeping people going back...

<p>except that based on the wording, it seems he was talking about groups too...not just raids...</p><p>also, RNG tweaks should make it much less likely that something drops that noone needs because it'll be alot less common to get the same item over and over...it'll probably be months before the majority of drops (not counting some of the stupid weak items) aren't needed again...</p>
