Ha. That parallels my guild's behavior. We do not roll, the officers
decide on loot distribution for Planer, Dragon and Gods. As such we have a
"wish list" section of our web site where the members post what they would
*like* to have from those mobs. The officers then decide distribution based
upon need, guild seniority, effort/time spent, your wish list, etc. My wish
list doesn't list a Cloak of Flames or Runed Bolster Belt as wish items. I
simply don't do enough damage to deserve one over *any* tank. I have a FBSS
and am quite happy until I get my Belt of Concordance.
