Been running Ridorana Lighthouse the whole week and...

[Awha]

Sorry but to be blunt you really don't.



Why are you claiming that alliance loot is a slight upgrade? For some players it's a massive upgrade. You need 335 ilvl to enter Ridorana but it drops 360 loot. That's a massive jump in ilvls. 25 ilvl gain is crazy high.

Even at ilvl 350 the 360 gear can be a huge upgrade if the 360 version has better itemisation than the 350.

Not all the tomestone gear is great for every class. Someone replacing 360 tomestone gear with 360 Ridorana gear can have the same effect as increasing ilvl if their class is very reliant on some stats and gets very little benefit from others.

Higher ilvl doesn't always mean better gear. I replaced my 370 boots with 360 from Ridorana because the huge chunk of crit I gained far outweighed the minor hp and mind gain from the 370.

I think you fail to see how giving priority for gear is fair because you don't know how combat stats work. Alliance gear isn't as insignificant as you think.

It is a slight upgrade in the sense that I doubt having one upgrade will make the overall run that much quicker or more effective as a whole. If it does fair enough, I have not done the math or looked at the longs to do the math how much time such an upgrade with shave off the overall run. I mean for me that benefits of that would have to either equal or surpass the effects of the group for it to right to take away the groups right to roll on the item.

I do get where you are coming form, you want role priority due to the fact that you took the time to queue up as that role and you should be granted some level of safety against other players snagging what could potential be an upgrade? I mean that is my basic understanding, I have always had a hard time understanding the notion of giving certain players in a PuG setting priority over others. I do not like RNG or gear treadmills, but if I had to pick my poison, it would be a token based system and this greed only rule set works far better with a token system over a straight gear reward system.
