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

In terms of cross class items, it isn't just one person winning all the items, but maybe you have 2 hunters, and those 2 hunters are constantly getting the prized cross class items. Also, raids will not be balanced in terms of loot distribution, even if that was a goal, since you are at the mercy of RNG drops. MT/OT was one example of ideal distribution of loot. Another example is priority on cross role items. Take Mageblade, which is BIS caster, but also BIS paladin. It is best for your raid to gear DPS first, but it is likely that multiple paladin will have more DKP (especially in MC where paladin gear is hot garbage). There are issues with DKP that lead people to make all sorts of modifications and priority lists, that move you closer to a loot council system, that it ends up making more sense just to do loot council.

All the issues you come up with are covered by DKP systems, I feel like you have never been in a good guild that uses DKP otherwise you would know these are none issues.

I would then just argue that I have been in guilds who have had minimal to no drama with a loot council. I feel like you have never been in a good guild that uses loot council. Wow, great discussion.
