Hamlet Defense, more RNG? Discouraging.

I agree the WoW lockout and drop system for raids did work well.

I don't see our current content being equal to raids though. Raids were huge instances that took 15 or 25 people. I see our instance content more like the WoW dungeons, short and repeatable that only took 5 people. If we have raid like content, I could see lockouts being worth while. Current content just doesn't seem to be on the same level.

WoW dungeons also have guaranteed level-appropriate drops. Mind you, each dungeon had anything between 3-5 bosses with their own loot pools. By those rules, each piece of darklight should be split among several bosses in a dungeon, with guaranteed drops per boss kill. It may not be the one you're looking for if the boss drops a mage piece and you're melee, but still.
