There were many loot options in King of Pantheon, such as the one Li Yi used the most often, Master Loot, where only the party leader and no other member was allowed to distribute the loot.
This casual party did not use Master Loot. Instead, they applied the Need Before Greed system.
Unless they changed the looting option, the system default would be Need Before Greed. Players could choose either Need or Greed according to their classes.
Need took higher priority than Greed. If one player rolled Need and the others all rolled Greed, the item would go to the person who chose Need. If everyone rolled Greed, they would then roll a dice of 1-100 to decide who would get the item.
Even though Li Yi did not care about that Level 20 blue bow, people who Needed even when the equipment was offspec irked him slightly.
