In pickup groups looting rules are tough. What happens when you're at a
camp when certain people in the group can't win anything? I like it when a
group is doing "use based" loot, but often its not fair to all people.
Grouping with guild/friends is totally different. If an item drops which
would be used by someone in the group, and its randomed, you need to find
some better friends (or a better guild).

In a zone where spells drops, its pretty standard for the player to get any
of their class spells that drop. The problem is mellee got hurt in these
situations. A great solution is to have all the mellee choose a class
(which isnt in the group) and they get that class's spells. Any un
represented class spells get randomed.
