First off, Gratz! Soon we'll be running through the entire Core, like it's the Deadmines. ;)
But, this is tough to read on several levels. I'd wanted to be there when you guys dropped Magmadar. But I had to accept when I started raiding high end stuff that with the lockouts and whatnot that I'd not get to do some of the stuff. So I accept that. Yay for slaving for the man. I need to find a job that doesn't conflict with my playing schedule. ;)
As to loot...I don't really know where to stand on that. I like loot, but accept that (like Quark) I'm permastuck on the low end of Blizz's dice. Hell, in playing Mirajj for over a month of playtime...I've only seen 2 world blues drop. *Shrug* The RNG doesn't like me. Life goes on, and I'm still having fun. The only way I ever seem to win anything is if it's uncontested...or I can't use it. I've won a core leather and a lava core in MC...neither I've any use for, so they were passed on to folk who could use them. I'm much rather see something used than sold. I guess that's why I'm so hot after the BS set. It's one I can actually see myself completing sometime. It's a shame that MC doesn't drop more, really. As well as Onyxia. I do admit that it'd be much nicer to come 'home' with something other than repairs and costs. Though I'm sure I'm far from the only person who feels that. I'd be willing to wager we all feel like that at times, though I'm glad I'm not a tank with their repair bills. ;) They probably feel it more than most.
But...as someone else pointed out in the thread, they started winning because everyone else had all the stuff...that's a long wait, with the drop rates what they are. If we must institute a "system" I do kinda like the "1 purple per raid instance/lockout" idea, though. Seems to keep things pretty fair, still. Though that might get interesting, as Luci only seems to like dropping Might stuff. ;) We'd have to look at it for when/if we do farming runs, though.
Ah, well. I do enjoy raiding MC and Onyxia when I can get there. Loot or lootless, I'll likely be around for some time. It's a grand fight, and fun to be allowed to actually pull stuff, like the Hunter is supposed to. ;)
