Well, in my example above, if you're the 4th priest, you can pass to retain position, but it's still not going to do you any good, since there are 3 people ahead of you who will also be passing until they get the one thing that you want. And one raid a week is enough for them to preserve their position ahead of you on the list, even if you raid with the alliance 3x as often. Of course, if you're less discriminating, then Pesmerga is absolutely right... enjoy the bottom position and rake in the loot that the others are passing on in order to retain list position.
Come to think of it, wouldn't it be sweet to be the first top guy? You stay there until you get your epic quest starter, then once you do, you're at the bottom, and everyone else is up there passing all the loot down to you.
Hmm... this makes the list system also sound like a system that you have to "game" in order to maximize your loot, and minimize the loot of your allies. Does the zero-sum point system have the same drawbacks, and I'm not seeing them because it's my preferred system? Input, please! :)
