Loot reserved.

I'm not sure if it's just my server or if it's common across them all but there seems to be a growing trend among PUGs for the raid leader to reserve one or two loot drops. I've seen things such as...

LFM naxx25 Grim Toll reserved
LFM ToC 25 all trinkets reserved
LFM OS25 Dragon soul reserved
to name but a few.

I was wondering what people thought of this and would they take part in such a raid.

Personaly I try to avoid PUGing but if I felt the need to I would avoid such a pug as I see this as bad etiquette even though there are no rules against it. Your thoughts...

If you are informed ahead of time when the raid is being formed that certain items are reserved by those who took the time to organise the raid, I personally don't see a problem with that. As many players here are pointing out, you are always free to choose not to attend the raid, or to lead your own raid in hopes of getting the item you want.

Speaking as someone who has both lead and attended many "open" raids, there are a multitude of loot rules that I have seen in place that also seem fair. For example, the "last piece" rule where players with 7/8 pieces of an item set would get priority on their last piece, etc.

Anyhow, that's what I think ;) You are of course free to disagree!
