[Voidwatch] Moving Loot To Treasure Pool -Denied

Honestly, back at 75 cap, the most fair system was to just sell all drops and split it, even with in your own LS.

What they are saying make sense in that case. We give you a split of what we sell, so if you want something, you should have the money to buy it.

But yeah, sounds like your problem is more with your LS, then anything SE can do about drops.

I also want to add that the private chests are great from the stand point of a ls leader. Its so easy for many of you guys to sling about opinions and accusations of the leader getting stuff for him/herself, so, lets just make it totally random and save a headache for a linkshell leader.

Also @Liela about old WoE. I sack pulled a lot for linkshell buddies and placed in the top 5 often - and no we didn't go in with 5. I even got 1st place one time as a WHM sac puller.

They didn't even let me fight small mobs. xD I'd go in, gather all the small ones immediately, and go die in a corner somewhere so the boss could be pulled to a safe spot. By the time I was up and unweak, usually the fight with the boss was nearly over. :/ Like I said, I wouldn't have given a rip-roaring hoot if the sacker was rotated. But this was my job every. single. time.

Anyways, it has nothing to do with the VW subject, just an example of how (in that group) there were favorites and there were definite un-favorites.

It is easier to attain leadership than it is to maintain it. Accusations of favoritism can be ruled out immediately with a fair and balanced system. A point system puts everyone on an even slate, for example. All ls leaders have favorites. We're all human. However, those favorites are the ones that strive to make each run as peaceful and fun as possible. Doesn't mean they're getting drops before others. I'm sure, however, there're ls leaders that cater to their favorites and themselves more than their members. You can easily identify them though and avoid joining such shells. (If the members're wearing pink and the SH's have 4-5 Emp's, run for your life).
Edit: A Ls's longevity is another way to determine if it's legitimate or not as well.

Honestly, sometimes its really not fair to judge an LS by what the sacks and leaders have. If its a point based system, the leaders and sacks most likely do the most and go to the most events so they get the most points meaning they can spend the most to get good gear.

Regular members that have nothing prob do because they dont put as much in.

Depends,I recall and LS that both you and I were in LT,and leadership specifically did low point gain events all the time ulness we were going for 1 of the 5 leaders gear.Forget everyone else having high enough points for whatever they wanted.

Not to mention other shady ***I wont even get into in detail.

I know which ls you're referring to, and I won't bother mentioning them here either. However, I would like to point out that in that particular ls, points were awarded by ls leaders for anything an everything. I even recall on a few occasions people with significantly less points than others being awarded certain items.

I mean, I hate to be rude about my own ls, but even now they make members pay for drops. I recently asked about the prospect of getting a novio earring, and was told by my leaders that after I helped farm the pop sets and fight the boss, I could spend the vast majority of my points on it and be charged 7 million gil, which is the market value for novios currently on Odin. I said thank you and went out and bought my own novio for 6, spending one mil less and no points at all. Their justification is that the money is redistributed to the members when the bank is split monthly, but I really don't agree with this rule. (I don't agree with it on any basis, but especially not since I'd be the only one buying a drop and therefor I wouldn't be repaid by other members also buying drops.) If I can't trust my ls or agree with them on rules for old items like that, then I sure as all hell am not going to trust them with new items. :-(
