Your orb your drop bullshit

8% is a pretty standard average. There's no e-peen about it lol.

No there is complete e-peen by being above average on something that holds multi-million gil value.
 
YOYD - short and simple
Split - leads to trust issues and anxiety

I don't do your orb your drop. If you don't like it, don't do it.

Then do you only run with linkshell people or friends that you are close with?
 
Your orb your drop is a good idea because otherwise people try hard to convince others to get a piece of the cut when they don't bring an orb, or they "just forgot." They are basically saving their seals and getting the rewards if not for your orb your drop.

The only way I would consider doing a split is if people all had orbs and it was some kind of orb fight static or maybe even something within the LS.

Well duh. If they don't bring an orb, they shouldn't be entitled to ANYTHING. Even if they did help fight. There are plenty of others that could have had that spot who would have brought an orb.

I don't think I've ever had this happen though. If someone announced their lack of an orb, I'd tell them to gtfo or get an orb. Simple as that.

That's called making a crappy run and really shouldn't be considered in comparing them. For a fair comparison, everyone brings an orb, and all fights are won. Pickup groups are where you'd likely have one of those not met, unless you're just helping someone get a specific drop from the fight; which also wouldn't matter.

I've given people a cut of the drops when they didn't bring an orb to a group, but they were helping me or someone else get a specific drop from that BCNM/KSNM, usually one of the KS30 weapons.

This is the exception.

I did one of these for a friend a few weeks ago. She wanted to split the drops though, and I refused. But she got her destroyers.
 
If you have doubts in your mind, just don't do it. It's pretty common sense stuff there.
 
I'm one of those people that always has bad luck with that. Biggest items I've ever gotten are d.ingot twice.
 
Friend of mine got TWO pheonix feathers on his last orb. And the rest was crapga. YOYD makes for some damn good entertainment.
 
Personally, I like your orb your drop. But if you want to split, then don't go on runs with YoYd... it's that simple.
 
I prefer YOYD. From many, many runs, of asshats who don't pony up thier split, or spend weeks trying to sell crap....or create drama.....YOYD cuts out all the bs. You have shitty luck? Cry me a river, find some others with much greater luck than you, and get them to split with you. Talk about greed? No one I have done any bcnm with, besides my fiance, has ever come with me to farm seals. Equal effort? Where were you when I spent hours and hours killin easy prey to get my seals? I wasn't farming those seals thinking "Gee, I sure hope I get some good stuff so Bob and George walk away smiling." I was thinking, "Gee, I sure hope I get a bad ass drop so I can stop farming these ghey fucking seals."

But, thats my opinion on the matter. I will go splits, if its friends I can trust, and it is agreed upon before hand, or if it is a ls event, where leaders take responsibility for the loot. But there is a reason so many prefer YOYD, its simple, no hassle, no drama....well, except when people like the OP get all emo cause "thier luck is so shitty" or "Everyone is so greedy, now gimmie a slice of your V Claw". But, those kind of people I just don't roll with again.
 
All these people talking about drama and people not giving up the cuts. That's not a problem with the split system, that's a problem with the people involved. That's why you don't go on the runs that say "Looking for one more for ODS, 5/6, DD can I have it", you get the same thing as when you go on some of those runs for a OH or something, you don't know the people so you're taking a chance.

If a group wipes on one orb, or get crappy drops, and then someone else gets a crap load of stuff, and it comes out grossly uneven, that's a problem with the system itself no matter who the people involved are.

I honestly hate the your orb, your drop system; that's why I don't go on runs that do it. I feel bad for the people that get utterly shit drops while I would walk away with 2 mil; or I'd get nothing while everyone else gets millions. It really shouldn't be such a gamble when you're all putting in an equal amount of effort. That being said, I've been on runs where everyone got shit so we converted to a your orb your drop system because it would have been more hassle than it was worth to send out small amounts of cash.
