It's very possible this has been brought up more than once. But I was unable to find a specific thread by using search. I think it's safe to assume SE wants to have as many players involved in raiding as possible. And I think they've done their best to adjust difficulty allowing raiders from both ends of the spectrum to enjoy success. But I also think changing how loot lockouts work could get more people raiding and keep them raiding. I know plenty of people who complain they would like to raid with more than one group. They would like to help out other groups. They would like to join more pf groups. But the main thing that stops them is messing up loot for others. I think this hurts the raiding community and the game. So much learning is possible when a more experienced player joins groups with less experienced players. I'd like to see SE take a serious look at making this system less restrictive when it comes to players who've not yet received loot for completing a raid.
