Raiding as we go forward

True... is the objective that people can try for the pieces that they want, or that everyone gets something, even if your heart is set on something else?

I guess they could *Pass* and retain their position in the list. That way they would get first dibs at whatever was class appropriate until they get what they wanted or settled for something.

For Pesmerga; My issue with the list is that if you are unlucky enough to be 8th on the list you must wait for countless drops before something your class wants appears. How do you resolve issues where the item is multi-class? Say Eskhandar's Collor drops, do warriors, hunters, and rogues have a combined separate list? That is also an interesting item, since the full set would really be best for a fury warrior or possibly a survival hunter. This set completion wouldn't conflict with class epic set either.

There needs to be a balance between fair (encourages participation) and the common good (enables team success).

I think the best solution for "fair" distribution is that we use /rand for those that opt to roll, but if one person is repeatedly slighted we designate "the next" available epic to that person to flatten out the bell curve. Similarly, if someone has "TheDragoon" luck and has many more "wins" than everyone, they should opt out of the rolling until the distribution flattens out. People would rather be last randomly than know they are last, and they would not enjoy with (equal participation), seeing those of the same class completing their epic sets before they had one piece.

For team goals, and overcoming team challenges I believe we need to designate certain drops (Like Onyxia head to a LW) to enable team success.
