I was talking to Mist today about some of the changes made in the game that were directly because players complaining or gaming the system.\u00a0 Just a few I was thinking of.<\/p>\n

Rolling on loot in LFR\/LFD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It use to work with Need\/Greed which gave you an extra bonus if the item was for your current spec.\u00a0 Several problems happened with this, entirely due to players being jerks.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Large groups of raiders, such as guild mates, all rolling on gear even if they didn’t need it to win it and funnel it to their friends.<\/li>\n
  2. Players who won a token\/item getting harassed, vote-kicked, killed, or other griefing measures if they didn’t give it to someone else.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Players winning items they didn’t need, and black-mailing others to give them something else that person had won.\u00a0 Or, winning a highly desired item for others and sharding it, just to be an ass.<\/li>\n
  4. Refusing to roll on an item and making everyone else wait the full duration before the item was won.<\/li>\n
  5. Kicking someone because they won something, even if it was an item they would use, just because other people were mad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Personal loot took care of ALL OF THIS. You get what you get and no one can do anything about it, and it’s soulbound so NO TRADING fusses.<\/p>\n

    Tag to raid group bosses or elites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once a raid engaged a raid boss, like Sha of Anger, only people in the raid could get loot.\u00a0 This led to a mad panic scramble to get in the raid, with people refusing to invite just for spite (if they had room), full raids denying people and\u00a0 just completely missing a long-respawn kill because you couldn’t get in the raid.\u00a0 Some of the world bosses were once a week, so missing a kill was very problematic.\u00a0 And just forget ever getting anything if you were a non-dominant faction on a very unbalanced server.<\/p>\n

    Now, it’s tag to faction, or tag to all.\u00a0 If you hit the boss, or heal someone hitting the boss,\u00a0 you get credit.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    There’s still plenty of griefing to be had, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
