I've been on some recent raids with the Lurkers, Carpe Arum, and the Basin where there have been the usual pubbie loot rules in place. Things like "Only one set item per person, don't roll outside your set, one blue per person roll on all BoE." This is a great starting point for raiding. I would like to inject some common sense into this. If there is only one warrior in the raid and a second piece from the Valor set drops (not likely but you never know) it is stupid to not let him have it.

While we state the usual rules, it's really only there as a guidline and because we usually have a few slots filled in by non-guildies/friends. It may be fair to us as a guild that someone gets 3 blues in a run, but poor pickups can get shafted because of that.
Whenever a 2nd item drops that's appropriate for one person in particular, we make sure everyone is cool with it before he gets it. Sometimes it's treated as a greed, with the winning greed guy getting compensation (say, a shard) from the person that wants the item.
The last two nights, a warrior not in the inner circle ended up getting two blues for themselves. The first, in LBRS, a nice blue armor dropped after already getting Valor. On Teamspeak we mentioned it'd be nice to give it to the warrior, though he graciously said he'd give it up for greed. We greeded, Rothgar won, and said "the item is yours" :)
We just really have to be careful of people outside the circle. I got 3 blues in one Scholo run, but I made sure everyone was cool with it before I grabbed anything.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
