Noise, you brought up a very good point. Drops are not individualized. Remember this is a 2001 MMO, drops are shared. So if you grab all the meseta/money, no one else is getting any.

TEK, if you want, but it is a very very different game. I actually dont own that one.
So, is it better to set the drops as random or whatever the other setting is? I only ask because some of us may play with other groups in the future and we can always drop to share items in game.
The other groups I set drops to random. I think finder has the potential to just lead to greed/fights.

I prefer finder, but I also work with specific others as a team. When we play coop, sans something like Terraria, it is an all or nothing victory, so we never have issues with finder. It must come from years of playing RPG's together. It also helps that my two main partners hit the other archtypes well. One is usually a mage, Ack is a tank, and I play speedy go die glass cannon.

Though the PSO community is very against finder. I believe the old saying was something like GFGB or "Give Finder = Greedy Bastard"

Having difficulty setting this up. Getting this error repeatedly:

'Cannot create file SHPsoBBn.exe'.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
