Quote:How about the idea of raid roles rather than classes? It was frustrating as a Feral Druid to be strongly encouraged to make way for dps warriors in crap greens. I'd rather have signed up as a tank, be prioritised for tank loot but not healer loot, than have signed up as a Druid and been prioritised for healer loot I didn't want. Maybe a hierarchy where a Tank Leader is in charge but we also have class leaders
Role Officers make far more sense than class officers, and not just because you want classes to have more opportunity. The endgame in TBC may turn out to be radically different than the raid-or-die model that ran for so long in WoW. Right now, the premier instance we're hearing about is a 10-man instance and not even a full 25-man. There will certainly be full 25-man raids eventually, but I think you'll see continuing 5/10 man content being released at the same time as new raids.
In the meantime, unless you force yourself to think about those potentially serious changes, it's can be easy to fall back on the current endgame. In a raid guild discussion on another board, one person proposed a TBC leadership outline with 23 officer positions. But the funny part was all the people defending him!
