Drops have always been a divisive issue when it comes to raids, particularly when you’re dealing with players using the roll system to hoard items that they don’t need and probably can’t sell, but want anyway because of greed. In the early days, this was dealt with through a need/greed system, but players would simply roll need on everything. To combat this, games like Neverwinter restrict the need button to classes that can actually use said item.
In Blade & Soul, as one Reddit user points out, party leaders can set the loot rotation to a bidding system. Players bid on drops above a certain value with the winner paying out for the item. To ensure that no one comes out empty handed, the winning player’s bid is distributed among the other players. This way, the more you lose bids, the more money you have to win them in the future or just outright buy the equipment.
