    Yes, the boss drop item that the class is for will be able to be needed by that class and no one else. Its really only a problem though if there are two of the same class in the group (and one player actually needs it). Otherwise, the game is just rolling the dice for you by whichever class item it decides to drop (if it even drops one).

    That's why all greed runs are sort of silly in practical value, because an item is being rolled on essentially twice - once by the game and once by the player (assuming there is an equal chance of a drop for any particular class).

    I always thought the whole "All Greed" thing is that everyone is putting in equal work, and wants an equal shot at the item, regardless of what class it's for. Changing the DD chest items also mean that you can't even use items like belts or rings on your own alts, (maybe they could make these bound to account and provide a way of transferring between your own characters).

    For a week now the exchange rate of Zen and AD is dropping and showing no sign of recovering. From over 350 we are down to almost 330 now. For the whole time I've been playing now, which is about 2 months, the exchange rate has been relatively stable at around 350, which makes this sudden and drastic drop suspicious to me.

    Why would they want to make the zen/ad exchange rate lower? That just makes zen less valuable so less people will buy it.

    Ive played the final fantasy mmo on ps3 and i didn't really like it much, maybe because i was using a controller, mmos not meant to be used with controllers i don't think.

    Thanks for letting us all know. It was indeed super important in the context of this thread.

    Just a thought....IF this BOP change goes through they need to get rid of the DD event and make the chest always available. No one would farm it for the chests unless they actually needed the gear. Farming it for Rough AD would be silly because there are plenty of easier ways to get your 24k per day.

    Both good points.

    If the BoP thing goes through than making any items Bound to account (and of course make sure that we can mail them to alts) would be nice to gear up alts.

    Also getting rid of DD would free more time slots to fit other events in.

    I am constantly following zen prices as it's been a relatively easy way to increase my hoard of AD. Usually, I don't see the price fluctuate more than 5-8 in a day, except of course for that wonderful day everyone decided to exploit the AH. Today however, something fishy was up as the price of zen has fluctuated by 25 pts. As I was watching, somebody put a listing of 20k zen for sale at 365 and all 20k sold instantly. Perhaps the guy listed and pulled the listing down too I guess, but zen prices should be going down right now because of the 15% zen bonus people are getting (which is what usually happens when they have a zen bonus), but with all the mystic nightmare stuff going on for such a short period of time, I think perhaps that's what's driving it up. Today has been an interesting day in the zen market though to say the least.
