A good example with a flaw, I'd pass it to someone else because my analysis suggests it wouldn't be an upgrade, since by then I should have TUF. It does look cool though.
It would need about a 7% proc rate to break even with TUF, and TUF would still be better for rage generation. I can't find proc rate info anywhere, if it's 10% maybe I'd want it.
The point is sound though:
We'd like a guild where we can eventually get to the point where the looting 'guidelines' are not necessary. Where we can make decisions based on what is best for the group. Ultimately that would be the goal... however I think when you're talking about 30+ people and very rare items you have to worry about the bad apple. ONE loot dispute can take down a couple months worth of work in building a guild alliance.
It is always the hope that we could recognize it as an isolated incident, but I've seen too many stories of terrible drama over a single misunderstanding. In the back of my mind I think that one of the reasons Sir_Die doesn't hang with Terenas more was a loot issue on the DM East run he was on, for example. I think he was upset, but nobody realized it. I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling that there was an issue there. It's not always easy to recognize when someone is disappointed with a loot system. Written guidelines are a way to at least be sure we have a true system.
