Group loot is personal loot with a different interface. Enjoy your change.
Personal loot sucked.
Not quite sure Blizzard doesnât just say: âScrew it, use whatever loot system you wantâ and allow Group & Master, however.
For organized guilds, yes.
For pugs and LFR, it was perfect.
Itâs almost like One Size Fits All is what sucks.

Youâre right, someone doesnât.
The Blizzard Shill Force is out in full force in regard to these changes, apparently. Thankfully, they donât appear to be amassing in a number of any real significance.
Anyone who otherwise isnât aware of just how bad this can getâŠdonât worry, youâll learn soon enough. The problems only begin with the loot system being put back into place. For those who do, remember Dragon Soul LFR? Yeah, Iâd love to avoid repeating that.

Theyâre extremely different.
Personal Loot = Boss drops 5 things for 5 people in the party based on their Loot Preferences.
Group Loot = Boss drops 5 random things from his loot table and you roll on what you want.
In Personal Loot, your comp doesnât matter. A team of 20 paladins will get 5 potential upgrades. In Group Loot, the boss is happy to give that same team Cloth, Leather & Mail drops. Gearing is now definately going to be slower and now comp dependent. If thereâs only 10% leather users, youâll get proportionately more drops. If half your raid is Evokers, your progression will slow to a crawl.

Oh how wrong you are.
Poor soul.
This could actually be game breaking.

Utterly meaningless in functional outcome. Relies only on balance from Blizzardâs end.
Youâre completely immune to logic.

But theyâre not balancing it.
On top of the psychological factor. Under PL, if someone else got loot, the game gave it to him, completely outside of their control. Under GL, that upgrade that dropped, that only you can actually use as an upgrade, and that someone else rolls need on, is purely on that player âstealingâ your loot.
Perception of winners in PL vs GL is different and this leads to player anger, and often is the cause of toxicity.
For pug environments, giving the game full reign of loot distribution is the only way to get an appearance of fairness.
I agree, but perception is the fault of the player as much as it is Blizzard. Donât get me wrong; they shouldnât have changed to group loot from personal, but the difference is going from a 1 to a 10 on a scale of 100.
No u.
Thereâs no point arguing with people who are dumber than you. So I wonât. It was addressed at length in many threads yesterday. Group loot and personal loot are functionally very similar.
Literally everyone responding to you is telling you youâre wrong.
NOPE, vanila tbc wotlk cata were all popular expansions and they had gp loot and master loot 
for that matter i dont remember many loot problems
In this case, itâs entirely Blizzardâs fault. They know what GL does, weâve had it before. By reintroducing it instead of a system that simply works for pugs and LFR, they are actively injecting toxicity in the game.
I donât blame the players who will get angry nor do I blame the players who will click need on anything they can click need on.
Oh no. Whatever will I do. People who are wrong are telling me I am wrong. Oh, the humanity.
If I tell you 1+1=3, does that mean 1+1=3?
Edit: Donât bother responding, I donât care.
Well personally, whenever 3-4 people tell me Iâm misinterpreting a situation, I give it a second thought rather than tell everyone else theyâre dumb and Iâm smart.
Assuming Iâm the smart one in that situation would be the kinda thing a moron does.
Have a great evening.

Youâre right. I would. But then, when coming to the same conclusion, I also am able to trust the facts of the matter rather than the opinions of the irrational.
Bless your heart. Have a great night.
