Why does everyone insist on rares being set in order?

[Cerberus1981]

Doesn't make any sense to me.

The only 'advantage' I can think of is it allows people to manipulate who gets what by what they pick up during the mission.

Random rares = everybody gets a chance at everything, why do people struggle to comprehend this?

I'd rather get nothing but know that I had a chance at everything rather than get a Kerseline because someone has gone out if there way to work it that way. The amount of times I've seen people hovering where the boss boxes appear before the boss is even dead waiting to bust them open and grab an Ebon since they know they aren't next in line if a board drops.

Yes, because 7 rares in a row is a how lot of fun.

I always put random distribution, and none of the people I play with complain. Actually it's grown on everybody since the extension as it does make things a lot easier and laid back. It stops people from complaining about receiving a Vulcaline or whatever and jumping their turn for something (theoretically) more valuable. However, ultimately, the best is to play with a bunch of people you know well enough to distribute items and boards based on the needs of each player.

Some people make teams to do that, but I think it's quite unnecessary in this game, as it artifically introduces hierarchies when there should be laid back collaboration.

I don't think I've seen ANYONE use Set In Order since the expansion.

[Sasamichan]

Not this shit again.

[Starrz]

Because it's more fair, duh.

[Gunslinger-08]

when I'm in a party with rares set in order, I effectively negate any manipulation opportunities by simply grabbing every rare I see fall. period. or when I'm with friends, which is what I think it was meant for.

[QuidProQuo]

I forgot set in order was an option. Are you on 360 or something? I've never seen anyone use it at all.

[SabZero]

Eh, as long as it's not give to finder, I'm fine with it. I put rares in order and normal in random if I'm the leader.

It's just irking when more than two rares in a row go to the same person. But in any case, it's not *their* fault, eh?
