There's Loyalty and then there's Stupidity.

Sure, your rogue is Loyal, he shows up, tells good jokes in quiet times and DPS's his heart out in a fight, he's great...

But your GUILD and your RAID would be better served by upgrading the Base Ranged DPS of your Ranged DPS classses.

Maybe you've got the world on Farm now, and you can choose what upgrades your raid groups need or don't, because you're so great you don't care, but here's the facts, you gimped your guild by handing that item to a class that won't get the use out of it. Your raids could have had just that much more DPS, your kills could have gone just that much faster, your hunters could have been just that much better, but you decided that the people who needed the gear didn't deserve it.

You're the kind of guild that won't let new recruits roll on gear, aren't you? "Show up for 3 months to every weekly raid and you start earning DKP"?

Or maybe you've planned out, already, which members will get Tier 7 first. Before even seeing Naxx2.0 they've "earned it already because they were here for Gruuls"

Stupid decision is stupid, stupid raid leaders are stupider, and failure of this magnitude makes me sick.
