To be honest, I doubt it would have any real impact. Say you could only obtain i530 from Savage and there weren't any tome alternative. i530 is Savage exclusive. Adding to this, they made it so loot was personalized and only gave you gear for the job you played. I suspect the former would not only anger a lot of people but disincentive Savage for a good chunk of them. While the latter just means now people go on undergeared jobs in PF. The one benefit of the current loot system is you can play you're higher geared job for an easier clear. If I can only gear Dragoon by playing Dragoon. Then I have no reason to play my BiS Warrior even if the drop needs a tank.
