Default How would you handle smart loot

In this latest GU smart loot has been added to VP. This makes the server search the members of your raid for what pieces of set gear they have and then drop loot according to what someone in your raid actually needs.

This is also true for some zones and master drops.

The question is how do you maximize the amount of upgrades gotten by your guild all while not pissing them off.

Default Re: How would you handle smart loot

Making people pay DKP for shit loot they don't want is a bunch of BS. It benefits everyone else for them to have it but not the person getting it. If anything you should charge everyone ELSE in the raid DKP for you taking a piece of crap smart loot because they are the ones that will benifit from you doing so.

As odd and crudely selfish you sound, there is some reason in what you just said.

Force them to take the pattern, charge nothing. They can hold the pattern banked without wasting gems and smart loot should count it.

Great, and then I say that all of my set pieces are utter shit so I can get them all for free too.

Hooray free loot!

Default Re: How would you handle smart loot

Hoss then you are the very last person to ever get a pattern. If there was a choice I would make masters free and not even worry about patterns at all. But since there is no choice such as that, eveything can be free, makes the guildys happy

if no one bids on it have your raid leader put it in there bags, the server will see that someone has it and not drop it again.

If you can't spend 1 DKP on an item that would allow others to get better loot, you're a loot whore.
