WoW - Oh God Please Let Me Get A CE For Burning Crusade

[AChimp]

It's important to gear the people who show up frequently. If you give a really good item to someone who only logs in once a week, or decides to quit the game a few days later, you have essentially wasted that item. It could be many weeks before it drops again and any benefits the guild would have gained are lost.

My guild made the decision a few months ago to automatically loot all warrior set pieces and tanking gear to the main tanks for a fixed DKP amount. No bidding. No other warrior could get those items unless all the tanks had it already. All of the other warriors were really pissed off (some even quit the guild) but in the end everyone realized that it was the best decision because we had tanks that didn't die and everyone has acquired more loot than we could have before.
