The Betrayer of Humanity dropped. Now we are a melee heavy guild and have been for quite some time. Now our Raid Leader/Loot Master decides that this is a hunter weapon and therefore the only hunter in the raid should get it. Understand, we have a lot of people in the raid for which this is a very big upgrade. Lots of melee still using blue weapons. But the RL says this in vent and argues with others who try to explain that LOTS of classes consider this an upgrade for them. But he gives it to the hunter instead of having a roll off like we do for everything else.
Now, last night, we cleared 3 wings of Heroic Naxx; military, construct and spider in that order. In he spider wing, we were trying to beat the timer, so we were hurrying and apparently the RL (same guy) decided to take his headset off. So he never heard the MT warrior say, "hey man, I need those gloves" while he and I were still pulling trash to the last boss. And so he let people roll for off set and gave it away before the MT warrior realized what happened. The MT Warrior is pissed but as luck would have it, the guy (another warrior) who won the gloves doesn't mind giving them to the MT warrior, so we have to open a ticket and get that taken care of. Okay...done.
And then the RL was too far away when Inevitable Defeat drops and the GL repeatedly says to pass so we can discuss and roll. However, this one warrior who always gets the high rolls and NEVER passes to someone else even if it is only a minor upgrade for him and a major upgrade for someone else rolls need and gets the item. (he has the full T7.5 and epics and others who have been on the same raids don't have a single piece from Heroic Naxx, LT Share!)
Well, so now we have to deal with this. We have another roll off and as luck would have it, the mace goes to the warrior who gave up the gloves to the MT Warrior and he was replacing a blue (Runeblade of Demonstrable Power). So hopefully that balances out some Karma!
Now, the other issue is we have a group of people in the guild who want loot to be awarded first to those who regularly attend raids. WTF? Have they missed the fact we are a casual guild? Its sign up if you can make it to a raid, not required. Our loot rules have never said, "those who show up the most get to roll first". Real life always comes first to us. This is a game, and yes, while it is nice to have the same people there raid after raid, what if they can only make it twice a week? Does that mean we shouldn't help gear them up until after everyone else? And if you show up regularly, you will have more chances to roll on stuff anyway. And it isn't as though they aren't some of the best geared people in the guild anyway. They haven't exactly missed out on loot.
And then last night, Origin of Nightmares dropped. And a hunter wanted it. And I wanted it for tanking given it is better than my Staff of the Plague Beast. However, I had said to give it to the hunter but I wanted it next time it dropped since the hunter had a blue. But it was given to me since it has armor on it and so I have mixed emotions. I am happy I was given the staff, but I feel bad for the hunter. I really hope he gets Journey's End tonight! I got it last week for cat when we downed Kel'Thuzad and he wasn't in the raid and the other hunter had gotten the Betrayer of Humanity so no one else rolled against me.
All in all, Loot is such a head ache.
And in other news, I went as cat last night for the first 2 wings. I got up to 3600 DPS on Razuvious but the fights where I have to move a lot or have a lot of adds I can't do quite as well as the ranged with the massive AOE. Overall for the night, on boss fights I was in the top 10 every time on DPS so that makes me happy. I didn't do quite as well on the trash pulls but once I get the hang of cat, I might can do better!
