Personal Loot

[Missbone]

Why not handle it like in WoW where everyone has their individual roll. I honestly think that would be the best solution, you still need a bit of luck but the chances of getting loot would be much better.

The chances of getting loot would be whatever they make the chances of getting loot.
It's currently 1/8 per roll, as you're rolling against 7 other people, they'd just make personal loot the same chance.
Then you could get instances where no one gets anything, and as savage is team content, that would screw over the whole team for a whole week.

Well maybe, but as you said its a % chance, so they could just adjust the chance to whatever they see fit. As far i had understand right now you could still go out empty handed each week. I think everything would stay the same as it is now, you just have a better chance of getting your stuff if they do it right and for the Loot, they could just restrict it to your active class. They already have something similar with the 100% drop for your active class when you beat the last boss in a dungeon, i think it should be possible to modify this a bit.

As for the non trade, they could make it tradeable within a limited timeframe between the players that where in your group. In WoW its 2h if i remember right where you can trade your loot between the partymembers, after that its soulbound.

I played shadowlands, so how that happened during Castle Natria Heroic. We were raiding with 20 people, 3 random people would receive loot from the boss. With that rng there was some members that spent 4 weeks without a single loot piece drop his upgrades all came from the weekly chest, oh and they farmed relentlesly M+ too that used the same "brilliant" loot system you want to implement.
There is positive stuff from WoW that could be implemented in FF, but the loot system ain't one of then.

The problem with this is you can't be strategic with who gets upgrades first, which is something many raid teams do. Another issue is it's very rare for a class to have savage gear as their BiS in every slot, so with personal loot you run the risk of automatically looting something you don't need or want, but you can't give it to someone else who does.
