24 man raid loot system

[Kurando]

So basically OP you are complaining that if someone could leave, the replacement could be the same job (or type as you i.e. melee) and that you then have to compete for potential loot? I mean this happens in a ton of dungeons not just 24man, and they have just as much right to roll on that loot considering they did accept to be the replacement.

As for loot distribution, you have two options, either enter with a pre-formed party that way you can allocate stuff however you want, or just ask. Seriously ask your group if they are willing to pass on something you might want, granted it doesn't always work but you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying as most players will be happy to cooperate.

To your first point, it’s not about the replacement getting loot, it’s about the person leaving. If you leave mid duty why do you deserve any right to loot? That would be like leaving a trial after a phase transition and getting a reward for it. You should only get loot upon completion of the duty. And yes you can absolutely apply the same logic to dungeons, but it’s not as wide spread of an issue with dungeons (I’ve personally never seen a loot and scoot in a dungeon but it happens every week in 24 man raids).

To the second point, I think you misunderstood what they’re saying. If you want, say, the body piece that drops only from yiazmat, you have to pass loot on every boss until the final one or you’re locked out from that loot when you get there. While if someone wants boots that drop from Famfrit and they don’t drop, they can still lot on loot from every boss after Famfrit, just to get something. So the person who wants the body can’t have a chance at any other loot if their thing doesn’t drop, while the person who wants the boots can. Pre-made groups don’t change that.
