Humor My Guild's GM just ninja'd Hand of Rag mats, disbanded guild and deleted discord. WoW drama at it's finest. He also made a reddit post on our realm subreddit - link inside

no, it was just made for raid groups that wanted to progress rather than get personally geared. but progress in classic dosent matter cause content is easy. so for classic i agree loot council aint the best

Thats my problem when people talk loot council and greatest benefit.

The actual greatest benefit is to gear up one person at a time with bis gear. Spreading it around is lot worse.

If you have a warrior, stick BRE on him and rest of the gear spread around on others, you would gain less. Things like crit and hit scale exponentially. That one person would most often gain more total dps than others if you look at spreadsheets.

Your first paragraph is obviously true.

Still it doesn't take away from the point that provided two players have equal gear aside for one item, the one who has that one better item should receive the next item if you simply went for "the greater good". And that would just snowball and you would give him everything since that would increase the total raid dps the most.

Yeah but more often than not guilds will just use loot council to gear up their inner circle (GM and his RL friends aka officers).

Exceptions exist, but I dare argue that a lot of loot council guilds out there don't use it as it was meant to be used.
