The raiding loot system is very "anti-community". You can only clear once yourself and can't even go back to help others without robbing them of their loot. If you could raid more freely with other people, I would see bigger communities and non-statics raid together more often. The problem is that with the current savage system if loot was available even when clearing with people who already cleared, you would get 1+7 parties where all loot is funneled to a single person. This would mean the most effective gearing plan would be to run alts and clear the raids 8 times every week for insane loot.

Alternatively, we could have savage use the normal mode loot system, or something alike it, where everybody has their own personalized loot for each fight. That would allow people to help their friends regardless of their own progress very easily and for communities to support each other. The problem is that when helping is easy, it's also very easy to sell the help. Selling content clears and loot would become rampant. I don't think there's an easy way to have one without the other.

I'm not sure if that's an acceptable cost, but at least it would make the raiding community more open instead of the closed static style we currently have.
