FB drops

Why make a pole on it when it already being discussed?We do what you want this game will die.

I don't like people picking and choosing what I can or cannot have, if you don't get enjoyment out of running an instance for a lower level then don't do it. If your there just for the loot and expect to be paid for your time don't offer to help me in the first place.

If your to ignorant to understand that simple concept then you my friend suffer from rectcraninversion (you can google that if you don't know what it means) and no amount of polls or discussion is going to fix that.
Thankfully there are support groups that can help with that problem.

Keep it random and everyone gets an equal chance at loot, good, bad or indifferent.

All drops to tabber. The only exception is if the tabber does not have the wine and we provide it. The squad will be put to random. So the 3stars and mold can go either or. b:thanksBut usually we'll give it to them anyway since we're nice. But if they are a pain then well...

3* and mold to tabberb:cute

In fb my faction run its 3* and molds to tabber but 1* who need them if stats are good.

Lolwaitwut? All drops as in dq items and 1*? Lmao :] Thankfully I only heard of 2-3 cases of that happening total on sanctuary. Man if I stumbled across a tabber that demanded those I'd leave them hanging mid fb with half tabs left just to be a prick of equal proportions. 3* and molds they can't use is a joke enough, this is taking the ****.

I mean, back when I was doing my own lowbie fbs, when a higher level got a mold you know what I said? I said gratz, not "can I has pl0x", because I was happy and thankful for a smooth run and actually appreciated the help I got. And it's a difference when someone rushes you through an fb and when someone takes their time to do all YOUR subquests within the fb.

I mean, you're actually **** yourself over with the 'mold to tabber policy'. Say you're a barb or a bm, and you want a misty forest ring. You have what, 3% chance of getting it in your characters lifetime? If everyone was running fbs with random distro, or using the good ole need before greed, you'd have as many shots at the ring as you want. So yeah, you may not get it on your own fb if it drops. But you could have dozens of other shots at it over the next couple of months.

And of course, there are nice tabbers who tell you what they need and want (I want to kiss them when they say I only want the molds I can use, rest is up for grabs b:kiss) and there's moronic mute tabbers who only seem to understand 'tab pls' the 5th time you ask, and tend to look stupid the entire run only following you from a safe distance not willing to move a muscle, then end up being one shot by myriadtail after you tell them 5 times to stay back because the boss has a huge aoe. Or the people who want you to do their 20/20/20 and then ask for all drops? Ha! I mean if I have to ask 5 times at the start if you want the molds and 3* or which quests you need inside the fb and don't get a reply, don't blame me when I decide to keep whatever i get. I mean what's next? Tabbers wanting all books, molds and apo pages from fb89 and 99? Yeh right. b:byeb:shutup

i agree with all of that, and ive always maintained that drops should just be left at random, and whoever gets whatever gets it, end of story. but since every run ive been on in several months has been "give tabber everything" i demand the same on my runs now and on those of my friends.

but i think part of the divide in people's opinion is "generational". the earlier generations feel very strongly and very negatively about handing over everything to the tabber. in my case, this is from my own experiences in my lower lvl fbs where i walked out with nothing, not even my quests finished, and my runners got molds. but i didnt complain. then by the time i started running fbs, this "tabber gets molds and 3*" rule was already in place. was really irksome. and it is even more irksome when you have an obnoxious, stubborn tabber, which more and more are. in fact, since ive started playing, most noobs in general have gotten more selfish, demanding, lazy, and arrogant, feeling as if theyre entitled to everything, and expect handmedowns from everyone. pandering to them with this mold and 3 star goes to tabber rule is just making the situation worse.

I gave all to tabber , i dont need lower equipment and i know how hard is to get money, so let the tabber to sell his reward if she/he want, personal i want my drops.I even gave back blood from beast too, i have a lot blood on bank ) .Personal, ill create some lowers chars and do theyr fbs too, i wanna see if higher lvls want to steal drops b:laugh TRAP !!..u never know if u really do a fb for a newer player or to a higher alt character b:laugh..I work alot for my money i dont want to steal some1s reward.Its his/her FB and he/she deserve it..I dont care if its a FB 19 or 99 , im onest,onestity can bring ALOT FBs from friends too..if u stole my drops your name will be heared by all in world chat (everyday till ull gave my mold or 3 stars back)coz i dont steal drops b:pleased.If u want some good drops go create a veno lvl up and do some caves like i do ( i mean from lowers FB caves,even 19,and i get nice money too coz i keep my lvl at a lower difference between my veno and the fb boss).Thank u and good luck all b:victory

I agree with that if tabber can use the mold or 3* he can have it,but I think this
"Rule" about tabber getting all drops and mold.Its all the high levels fault agreeing with it.Back then on my FB I had mold drop and 3* and if someone got it they keep it I was more then thankful for them to helping me out.But
its too late now to change this "Rule",so I would just go with the flow like it or not.
It wont be long before Tabber starts asking to pay them to be in there FBs
Like FB19:100k FB29:200k FB39:300k and so on b:laugh

It prevents a few argumentative people from posting their POV over and over again, thus creating the illusion that their position has strong support when in fact it doesn't. With a poll, it's one person, one vote.

I voted for tabber gets 3* and molds if will use option, but it doesn't really make clear what happens when the tabber won't use those items. My opinion is fewest steps to the item being used, with preference given to the tabber. That is, "item drops -> someone uses it" is preferable to "item drops -> sell it -> someone uses it".

So if the tabber will use it, s/he gets it. If the tabber won't use it but a runner will, that runner gets it. If nobody would use it, then I don't really care but I suppose the tabber should get it since s/he's probably lowest level and thus will benefit most from the cash influx. I'm not a stickler about it though. If the group agrees to a different method, I generally have no problem with it.

When I played on Sanctuary, we always set the squad to random and you got what you got whether you tabbed or not. If you got a mold, lucky you ^.^

When I started playing on Dreamweaver, I heard of the "3* and mold goes to tabber" rule. This did solve alot of problems and prevent "drama" during fb's as everyone knew what to expect. People also look for Equinox to run their fb's 'cause they know they will get the mold. I like this method 'cause everything is clear beforehand and nobody fights over drops.

There were a few people I knew who didn't want their fb squad set to random and wanted every single drop. If it's a friend I just humor them ^.^
If it's anyone else I just advise the squad beforehand and anyone that doesn't agree can leave the squad.

well here is my 5 cents worth
for those who want every single drop well they can solo it themselves
for those who only want 3* and molds well thats what i want if i couldnt have those then i would solo my own fb especially my 79 i have a herc so i have every chance to do it but it would be a complete waste of exp and spirit
i am sure for those who have said they dont want molds and keep them random i surely dont think they would keep quiet if a cape of chieften dropped or that misty forest ring dropped on thier own fb no i wouldnt either
there is even people who want to pay you to do your fb and they say tabber keeps drops
when you say tabber keeps drops this to me meens 3* and molds not dq and mats and coins
i havent yet had to ask for 3* or molds at the end of my fb's people have dropped them for me so this is how i think
and i too would drop 3* and molds for tabber
what goes around comes around

My experience as a young tabber.
I have two characters that have both done fb19 and fb29, and all my fb were with run with my factions.

I like to be involved in my fb, but that had only happened once. Most times when They find out that I have a fb they gather together people I have never seen before, mostly high levels I guess. I am told to not attack, don't do anything, and stay far behind them.
So I follow these people, trying to keep up, picking up whatever coins they leave. When they get to the boss, everybody jumps on it, kills the boss, and then leave. If there were any drops I was too far away to see, so I walk around the chamber picking up the few scattered coins left. maybe even backtrack to see if there is anything else I can scrounge from my run.

I practiced a long time to try to learn my skills before I run my fb's so that It would be an experience, but they usually leave me feeling empty and used.

I have had one good experience, and only once did I ever even get drops from a boss, a 3* cape.

So if you want to complain about not getting molds or 3 * items, I lost out on what was probably my one chance to get something decent from my runs, unless I solo them after, but at a higher level and less chance of drops.

When I do get to the point I can help with fb's, the tabber can keep everything they can carry.
