What if there were no loot restrictions in normal mode raids from release day?

People tend to burn the content really quick and get bored in a few weeks. With this suggestion you make it'll cause people to get bored sooner and probably the queues will be longer. After gearing all their classes they won't do it again.

This philosophy can be applied to the current system. People get their weekly item, then never touch it again until next week.

How many people here run Alphas after they got their weekly items, because they are "so much fun"? Don't everyone raise your hands at once.

Except they still have to queue every week. I farmed normal mode for several months to gear alt jobs. If I could get everything I wanted whenever I wanted, I'd farm week one/two and never look at normal mode again for the duration of the tier. So people who came along say, week five, wouldn't see me in the queue because I've long done farming everything I wanted. Whereas with the current system, I'm providing them a queue.
