We've had tokens for gear in the 8-man story raids since Alexander. Why not do the same for the 24 man raids? Doing that wouldn't make any difference if someone is on their main/sub trying to gear their main/sub and would make need/greed pretty meaningless anyway. The 8-man raids have shown that they remain active throughout each week due to people needing to re-run them because they didn't get the token on their previous attempt(s).

Seriously, running lighthouse a dozen times and not even seeing the gear I want drop even once means I haven't even had the pleasure of being out-rolled by someone on a different class due to the greed only. Even without wipes, it takes far too long to spam lighthouse due to this.

IIRC, there's 4 chests in lighthouse (and all 24-man raids?), just make the chests like this (per team):

Chest 1 - Belt Token
Chest 2 - Helm Token
Chest 3 - Gloves + Boots Tokens (both drop at once)
Chest 4 - Body + Pants Tokens (both drop at once)

Sure, the competition would be increased on each piece as that's less overall loot dropped and they're more generic and useful no matter which role you're trying to get gear for. I'd just like to know that I get a sure chance to at least roll instead of spending nearly an hour carrying people through something to only hit pass on every piece of equipment that drops.
