Over time, loot does not even out with /random 1000 (note: unless people remember who got what and voluntarily pass to counter the natural distribution patterns). Without a good memory, loot with /random 1000 results in a bell curve with many people with similar amounts, but some very rich and some very poor.
On Tich Basin's last MC weekend, anyone there for both days earned about 65 points. If you look at the standings based on points earned [edit: click on the "earned" column label to sort], you can see that everybody who has earned at least 120 points (two weekends worth) has gotten something at this point (14 total raids), and 16 people with fewer than 90 earned points have gotten something from the raids (debunking the casuals don't get anything myth).
If you don't have some form of human intervention (point system, tracking drops and requesting unusually lucky people to pass for a while, whatever), I can pretty much guarantee after 14 weeks of using /random 1000 you will have people who have attended more than two weekends of raids who still don't have anything. It's basic statistics.
Just something to keep in mind. ;)
