There are many safeguards in place, Talock.

Master Loot is often not the best loot option for a PUG.

If you want the system to safeguard your rolls, you really need to be using the options that actually USE the rolls.

We cannot force you to use those options, and we'll look into any case that seems to be a 'scam', but there is no way we could ever hope to adjudicate loot squabbles amongst 12 million users, that's why the system is built as it is - to put the proper tools into your own hands.

Q u o t e:
How is it different when a rare mount involve? aren't all loots equal? to the person who qq about his lost mount, i'm sure he felt the same as i do. All the things i got ninja i felt i have the right to at least have a roll at it, and at least win it if my roll was highest, so why don't i receive the same treatment as the person who lost his mount? shouldn't all ninja-scam being treated equally? are you telling me that blizz is so biased that they only care if there is an extreme rare item drop and it got ninja and therefore it deserved to be reviewed? And not other case?


Talock - you can NOT 'ninja' in WoW.

The definition of a ninja is to take loot you are not entitled to - to steal.

If you CAN loot an object in WoW, you have the system's permission to do so based upon the loot type selected.

While you may have other arrangements outside of the looting mechanics, those are your safeguards, player arrangements over and above those are just a really bad idea in general unless you can trust the folks you are raiding with.
