Adding a point to the Raid Discipline section.
~"Ooo...Sparkles!" ~Avarice raids with loot on free-for-all, as the Master looter system is buggy and not that good in the first place. What does this mean? That you see a lot of pretty sparkly corpses. However...Don't touch them unless you are the Raid Leader, designated trash looter, or are the person who won the item in question. This prevents any accidental picking up of things, as most things in higher level raids are BoP (some aren't, but you don't want to touch them unless you are the RL, and may still have people say you ninja'ed... :whistling: ). If you are unable to control the impulse to look at what's on a corpse...resist. If you don't, and you see a pretty purple, and announce it, you'll have an irked RL for several reasons. One of them being that there are very few "perks" to being a RL, and being able to announce the fruits of our labors is considered one of them. ;)
In addition, this also applies to things like Dark Iron Nodes and skinning. There is a single person designated at the start of the raid to take care of that. It is that person's job to ensure that all resources under their control (for instance, our Dark Iron Miner) are attended to, and the results shipped off appropriately. It is all right to point out a node or a missed skin to these people, it is not all right to mine or skin it yourself. Your turn will come, as it's a rotating duty. Just think of how you'd feel, if it was your turn to be responsible for this stuff, and every time you tried, someone had beaten you to it. The loot isn't kept from you, all you have to do say that you'd like it, or arrange it with the bank/RL. But to just go up and grab it is bad form.
