I have run into a couple of groups lately that have 'Random' and 'Order' set for rare distribution which also have an added stipulation. "Do not for any reason pick up a rare item that you don't think that I will want for my S Rank collection, otherwise I will boot you." They seem to think that they will automatically get the next S Rank if nobody picks up a Vulcaline or Nanoresin. This seems totally illogical since good rares can always go to someone else. I still relate to not getting the rare you've been wanting which is why I wanted to get your opinions on this.

Rare: Random = Win
Rare: Line = [b] Scape Doll fail

If it's random, grab everything. If it's line, only 10* or higher. The rest is junk.

Kerseline can be purchased. It's worthless in the grand scheme of things.

I remember there was a thread here a while back "debunking the false claims of set in order". It said that when a rare falls, it's yours. If someone chooses not to pick it up, then they effectively skipped themselves. The order is assigned at the time of the drop, not when it's picked up.

If someone has evidence/a link to that thread, that'd be great. =p

That's funny because I got two Nanoresin in a row on a Rare:Line run. Imagine that.

...stop. I don't want to buy it, that's why I picked it up. If the party leader doesn't want it he/she can: A. Solo and pick up the rare he/she wants. Or B. Drop the rare if it is so garbage. It's that simple.

Random is the only proper way to do rares. Line for normal items so the precious -mates can be distributed evenly to everyone.
