Oh, and if you haven’t seen this blue post it looks like they think too much loot is dropping. I don’t know where this 5 items average is coming from but it definitely wasn’t happening in my group.
Even then, let’s do some napkin math here: a 3 item average would mean 30 items on a 10 boss raid, right? One might think “oh 30 items for 20 people, that’s not bad”. That’s not true because ever since personal loot became the norm loot has become an exclusively personal experience, i.e. you click on the corpse and you’re either happy or sad. In a 10 boss raid a 20 men group will click the boss 200 times (20*10) and only be happy 30 of those time (~15%) plus you being able to trade items is not entirely up to you and raid composition isn’t equivalent (leather users usually have more trading options than plate and especially mail).
Idk… not sure where they’re going w/ this.
