God this system sounds like crap...

Instead of allowing guilds to control their master loots, the game just pushes it down their throats. It completely kills the ability to help some players in the group "catch up", specially when its later on in content. The removal of the ability to buy tokens with valor also means its impossible for those who get screwed by the system to at least get something.


They're killing off player choice as a whole in favor of what? Speeding up looting? Forcing raid progression to be more of a crapshoot than it is? It may keep that "jerk" from ninja-looting an epic, but it opens the door to one guy getting crap he doesn't even need again and again. For tanks and healers this isn't as much of a problem, but for DPS? I mean sure you might be able to restrict the armor scale of DPS to make sure you have at least one plate, one mail, one leather, and one cloth, then maybe one or two more of any of those types...
But what about 25 man? Overlapping class roles become even worse in that environment. You try to restrict it to make it equal, we're still talking 4-5 players for each type of armor.
