Wow!! I'm impressed you have a raid leader who can be trusted to be this
fair. Even with our point system the melee (prime looters) often just take
items to twink with, forget to announce loot, etc. If our old hunt leader
had been in charge of loot, OMG half of us never would have gotten anything
other than throw down equipment. Not sure it would be much better now to be
honest. Very impressive that your guild stays together! :)
