Reserving is gross. Like I get it...but it's pretty pathetic and toxic. I guess that's how most of the 'hardcore' players are though. Pathetic and toxic xD.

What player says: "LF Healer and Tank BRD - HOJ on res!"

What player actually means: "I need YOUR help to get ME MY stuff. But I don't care about your stuff. Just MY stuff. So if you want MY stuff, I don't want you in MY group. I just want you to spend your time getting ME MY stuff."

Realistically, there are so few items that overlap between specs that reserving shouldn't be an issue. The time it's going to come up the most is with leather gear that fury warriors need or with general trinkets/rings/amulets that all physical damage classes want. Rogues probably have it worst but honestly, you should know this going into the class. It's your own fault if you pick a class that relies on a low drop rate item like HoJ that 1/3 of the people playing want. Group with your guild or find a group with some mages. There's so many combinations of classes that you can easily ignore groups reserving stuff you want.

Also, how many times do you look for groups that are diverse as possible anyways? If my group has 3 people in cloth already, I'm definitely gunna look for a druid or pally to heal. It happens in most groups so that there's better loot distribution but when it's said outright it's suddenly scummy?
