Quote:I maintain that the solution is far more simple that you're making it out to be. The ultimate fix is communication. You know what the loot is in the 5 mans if you bother to use the tools on the internet, let people know what items from what bosses you're interested in as off spec before you fight the boss. At that point, if something is still getting DE'd, then someone is either: a) not paying attetion,B)you didn't communicate ahead of time what you might want, or c) someone is being an ass.
Boomkin wanting to roll on cloth gear isn't off spec. That is the crux of the problem. Paladins and Warriors wanting that sweet leather that they can't roll on isn't off spec.
The problem boils down to the fact that the D/E Roll is on the same level as the greed roll, and that you can't roll need on lower tier armor.
What should be done is give a priority system to need rolls.
If I'm in H:ToC5 for instance on my DK and there is a rogue in the group. Treads of Dismal Fortune drop. I want them, I need. The rogue wants them, He needs. Because Leather is his primary, he wins. If the rogue doesn't want them, I get them ahead of the greed/de rolls.
Communication isn't going to be a viable solution in the new DF system. I have gone entire runs and not said a single thing in Party chat. There are more runs like that than there are full of bubbly conversation. It is the nature of the beast.
