Group Loot is antiquated, and was removed for a reason

and blizzard’s arguments will be “pick better players to run with”, as though that mitigates things like losing a rare mount or a legendary drop (not a problem now for legendaries, but you get the idea), or losing out on your BiS because the master looter decided last second to be a thief, or even worse, losing out in other places because it was standard need/greed and little timmy decided that a sword under the his current weapon’s item level was something he just had to have.

Just need on everything you can need on.

Semper Fi!

[Dremall-scarlet-crusade (Dremall)]

They want to revisit it, then let them revisit it. If I win a roll for transmog I’m not going to feel guilty. If it’s an item I need then I’ll need it. Personal Loot also had it’s issues. Getting an item and having to d/e or vendor it because you can’t trade it for a multitude of reasons also didn’t feel good.

[Misanthra-old-blanchy]

its gonne be pvp’ers in lfr who will test this system.

As many keep saying this is pve game and pvp is an afterthought.

very true, sadly. PVE weight > pvp weight for gear. that is one side effect to this. outside of rated maxed gear…pvp gear is deemed lesser than pve.

So I will “need” pve gear. Need them for mogs and vendor gold. I will keep on using that pvp vendor gear after the run.

and it will work.

it will be MH for me. Hunter, bow. Bow, hunter. need I say more.

The pvp gear lower ilevel (or weighted lower if close or a tie)…all lfr drops I can need will be upgrades.

the 2 main rules of group are met. Need…is a go.

Now if they record hits I can only do this once. Once is all I need per slot for the mog lol.

I’d feel bad but Ion and Brian for reasons mysterious love to send us pvp’ers to pve content. I’d rather not be there. But I have to be.

Since there…I will let /roll decide. I will need for mog/vendor sale. I like to get paid for my time you see. Hour of content…I expect payment of some kind.

[Shadowfang-dathremar]

I dont even know what I need yet but I know I need to roll need because when would I not need to roll need? If it didnt give it to me is because it system wont allow it.

I agree this is idiotic!

[Rashiko-bleeding-hollow]

Counterpoint: personal loot sucks and has a plethora of problems with it as well.

I’ll be fine either way.

[Calenwyr-stormrage]

Which is no different to personal loot now which effectively is just auto needing on everything you could use (upgrade or not).

I think people have the odd opinon that this is going to reduce their loot and in some cases that is true (over represented classes wont gear as fast and under represented ones will gear faster).

@Snozay-thrall

Its a BRAND NEW system.

lol no its not.

@Mikosovich-proudmoore

group loot is an outdated system. personal loot worked just fine

The dirty little secret is that Personal Loot IS Group Loot. They’re one and the same, just the rules are different.

Group Loot is not Master Loot. Are you unaware of this difference?

[Tylene-wyrmrest-accord]

I have killed 19 bosses this week without a drop. On the upside I got my Denar’s done. On the down side, the new loot system seems exceptionally sparse. No turning back now though.

[Torec-silvermoon]

I will never miss: “May I please have that if you don’t need it?” auto-whispers from 6 people in a raid after a boss. The shenanigans around begging people for loot were dreadful.

[Misanthra-old-blanchy]

we only fixed the anima drought. we did not fix loot drought. that is dev boss fight. No one can win that one.

Why I see this getting ugly. NOn personal loot based system like classic work(ed) since even if (deemed) ninjya’d…most are walking away with something. I mean we had gdkp runs for SWP trash mobs lol. People bid…on “trash” drops. the purpose of the run was to not even kill a boss.

entire guild banks stolen. warglaives stolen. invincible and ashes, stolen.

people that no life the game

People with side-gigs, I’m sorry you chose poorly in life.
This jealousy has to stop

[Minuette-zuljin]

Eh I don’t know I got 2/3 pieces of gear from bosses in LFR, yes I am lazy at this point. It works for me and is better than having having nothing drop at all.

edit: Of course I lost the weapon roll…but got shoulders and a chest piece on an alt because of the new system and luck.

[Therotinside-illidan]

@Aeula-moon-guard

won all three and immidiately left without trading the other two.

They bolted and took a treasure bath with all them golds.

[Klardrøm-moon-guard]

Im definitely rolling need on everything because that extra gold stacks up with time

[Shadowfang-dathremar]

Roll need on everything if the loot system dosent let you it’s not meant to be.

[Bloodypaws-frostmourne]

@Snozay-thrall

Its a BRAND NEW system.

lol, take a look folks.

This is how crazy you are when you think you can never be wrong.

It is nothing new.
