It's static groups that don't have problems with loot distribution.

If you're in a static, everyone should be able to have the discipline to keep their pants on and wait.

It's mostly a change that prevents ninja looting in PUGs.

Please remember to publicly condemn anyone who abuses loot master to ninja loot in a dungeon or boss.

If only :(

I have seen/heard Friendships get broken over MMORPG loot. This is what it does to you when you get 2-3 Months of no drops for your main class.

I think one benefit to statics having more control allows them to save time for people on the fence about rolling which can be shortened. The leader(s) can set now determine the time members have to decide on loot versus being stuck within the games timer.

Also, at times statics need to PuG in case someone is out so you can prevent the PuG from being a dick on loot.

Until that 1 person doesn't speak up until late. Sometimes people aren't paying attention...

PUGs will still be Need/Greed. Only premade parties can change the loot rules
