Thread: Raid locks gone in 3.0? Possible negative consequences to statics...

From the sounds of it, it seemed like the same system as is in place for the crystal tower, you can need one item per week and after that still run it but not lot on any loot.

Surely this must benefit everyone to some degree as when you could only run coil once a week sometimes you could only get loot you already had, or for jobs you didn't want it for, at least in this way (a good, non selfish static) will keep going until everyone on their static has the best piece per turn, this means they can make the higher turns harder because they know instead of everyone only having 2-3 pieces of high level gear the world firsts will gear the whole party out in a piece from each turn (if necessary) before progressing further, although I assume this would hurt the crafting market quite a bit since that lowers the need for the new melded crafted gear to cover the gap from previous to next highest ilevel per patch.

In negative consequences it might mean you find out who the selfish people are when they seem to disappear when they get their loot every week and leave and don't want to rerun a turn that they get nothing from, and the fact that it doesn't mean log on for a night do whole of turn 1-5 and log off. Instead you might have to devote a few days to farming to gear everyone up.

A positive (or a negative) is that currently by the time the mid patch is out and the non raiders are given access to the highest gear some raiders still haven't got theirs due to bad luck. So now with this kind of system in place the raiders are likely to have a full set of gear (if farmed every week) in no more than a few weeks after being able to clear the final turn. As this seems very fast I think there is more to this loot system that hasn't been mentioned since this would seemingly lead to all the raiders gearing up to max far before the next content is released leading to a very bored and restless hard-core player base.

If as mentioned by the above poster, it is for just normal and savage is still following on the old loot rules then it would make far more sense in my opinion.
