Raiding as we go forward

[kandrathe]

Unless you have another, undisclosed and non-obvious, reason why you don't like the council idea at all, these two statements don't seem to mesh.

Obviously, if everyone felt the council was trustworthy, there'd never be a problem (except perhaps for some bruised egos on the part of people who think they do more than they do).

Not that I want anything to do with handing out gear where I think it's most suited to go.  I gotta score SOME loot before Anadrol... =P

One problem with a council is perceived unfairness. Human's by nature are discriminatory, and tend toward cliques or tribalism. That is, without knowing or acknowledging it, we tend to move toward and empower our unconcious preferences. Mirajj in another post suggested his frustration with the perception that everyones sole focus was on gearing up our warriors, without any consideration to the needs of rogues, mages, priests, or other classes.

This is an example, so don't read into this anything, but for instance; When we last downed Lucifron you chose to give the tranq shot to Mirajj, when it would have been more pragmatic to give it to a hunter who was able to commit to this Thursday. Why? Mirajj won't be able to use his tranq shot in this MC cycle, and we will get another in the next MC cycle. You don't need to explain, but it is an example of how "favoritism" could be read in your actions. Luckily, we didn't get the dreaded, Enrage, Fear, Tranq Miss scenario and our two hunters were able to handle Magmadar.

So, you and the entire loot council may believe that your actions are entirely fair. That doesn't mean that there will not be a perceived unfairness, and the more secret or hidden the "contribution" is, then the more percieved unfairness there will be.
