I wish they would go back to everyone getting loot and if we want to give something away we call for a roll. Lots of people go into raids and roll for items but get nothing for the whole raid. I think the current loot system is severely broken.

There’s never been a raid loot system where everyone got loot.
Even with personal loot you still often didn’t get drops.

never it was never they are thinking about
When I was last raiding under this system my problem was that people who already had the item was still needing on it for the gold.
They should give the guild raid leader the option to turn off need for people who already have the item in their logs. With an exception for 1 handed weapons that should clock out after 2 loots. This would solve a lot of problems.
Also have LFR simply drop a currency to buy the gear at a vendor. This way transmog farmers are not taking gear from low level players.

well your in luck. midnight gives us the ability to get lfr transmogs from mythic gear so no longer will we have to go into lfr to farm transmogs. also you can not roll on gear you curretnly have unless is has a better stat. people rolling on gear to sell will always happen but im pretty sure with the new changes youll never see heroic or mythic raiders in lfr much anymore.
As noted by others “everyone getting loot” was not a thing under Personal Loot (PL). Your chances of getting loot under PL vs Group Loot (GL) is about the same, it’s just that instead of getting nothing under PL, you see all the drops and explicitly get to roll on them rather than having the machine roll in the background for a) getting loot, b) which piece off your loot table. Those rolls were always still happening in the background though.
PL perhaps had some kind of abuse for split raids among top-end guilds, but I think that’s a poor reason to have changed it to GL. You still get a million whispers under both PL and GL “Do you need that?! I’m desperate and will pay gold for that!!!1!” 
So that problem is not solved for PL or GL.
The devs discussed how it works and that “they’re happy with GL over PL,” but I can’t even recall what problem they were trying to solve. I’d be fine with PL or GL, honestly–doesn’t matter to me. There’s no guarantee of drops and seeing explicit rolls, or not seeing hidden rolls is no meaningful change–rolls are happening to win loot one way or another.
true every broke time i cant win a single roll out of undermine to omega even the decor to win
the world boss drop give wrong stuff
the problem was gear stacking
This is also not a thing. If you have an item and it isn’t a one-handed weapon you cannot roll need on it.
