Raid loot no longer personal loot?

Do you have the blue text for that fix?

From just over 3 weeks ago:

@Kaivax

We have a hotfix coming to the game later this week. With this hotfix, we will have:

• Fixed some situations where players could win Need rolls on duplicate items in a single roll session when it should not have been possible.

@Xephur-doomhammer

but simply a loophole

A loophole that your proposed solution does not do anything about, so this complaint is not relevant.

@Xephur-doomhammer

Wait, what? So this whole post that I created regarding these other players being severely over-geared, we’re talking 400+ iLevel rolling need on LFR gear at 376, you’re saying that I have a better chance at getting that piece of gear that they rolled on, as opposed to the personal loot system where I didn’t have to roll against players that could simply pass

I might have put it in less than ideal phrasing, but if your goal is to put gear on people who it’s an actual upgrade for, current GL is better at that than PL is.

@Xephur-doomhammer

With personal loot, you’re not rolling against other people looking for xmogs.

No, you are. The computer just automatically rolls for you behind the scenes and hides the results, only showing who won and who lost.

@Xephur-doomhammer

You don’t have to deal with the “rolling need because I can”

You instead have to deal with “rolling need because the system forces everyone to do the equivalent of rolling need on everything, all the time, regardless of circumstance.”
