Maybe Yoshi-P is blowing smoke and drop rates will still be at abismal levels and people will still spam everything :/
This would actually be amazing.

What WoW did with Heroic Dungeons would work in this game.

1. Boss have their own loot pool (good stuff that got you ready for the earlier raids in the game) and drop 2 items each run (some items are rarer than others).
2. Each boss in the instance dropped 1 token per kill for each member in the group. Automatically distributed to PT members.
3. Tokens were used to buy gear that was slightly higher level than the gear dropped in those dungeons.
4. Heroic Dungeons had a 24hr lockout that triggered at 12AM PST. Meaning if you completed the instance at 11PM PST you could go back in at 12AM PST but after that run you must wait for the next reset. Think levequests.

With this system, everyone in the group made progress. Not just one lucky person.

I really dislike the 15 minute lockout for dungeons that we currently have. The timer is short enough that people wait it out and not long enough to do much of anything else during the wait except stand around or craft. I personally have very limited playtime these days so when I'm online I want to be doing something, anything. I would not mind if the lockout on those dungeons was anywhere between 1 and 24 hours and guaranteed loot as opposed to the current.

Also, LOL @ people above saying XI always had something to do... Yeah I remember that... Always waiting on people to gather so that we can stand around and not do anything for 3 hours. Yep that was super productive. <--- sarcasm for the obtuse
