New alliance loot rules discussion

[Seraphor]

Equal opportunity is when healers had a 50% chance of getting guaranteed loot. Having something like a 1/8 chance is not equal opportunity.

And if you don't want to go in with a job you don't play, don't even worry about gearing it up, you're probably not playing it regardless of item level anyways.

Healers had 50/50 chance.
Tanks had exclusive rights.
DPS were pot luck, could be 1/5.

This system is objectively more fair, everyone has an equal chance of getting anything.
'Need' is ultimately a privilege.

Due to the loot lock out, you're not going to be rolling on gear you're not actually going to use anyway. This just allows you to play as any class, rather than forcing you to play as a certain class in order to get certain gear.
Now if you're trying to gear a dps, you don't have to sit through godawful queues.
