LFR Need before Greed issue

#0 - Jan. 7, 2010, 5:34 p.m.

Reporting this does no good, and putting in an ingame ticket does no good. Blizz won't fix this bug and I'm tired of being cheated out of upgrades because another class rolls need (that cannot even wear it) and wins the item.

I was in Blackrock Depths and Fists of Phalanx dropped. Obvious upgrade for me, so I let them know I was gonna roll need. The hunter in the group rolled need and got the item. Can a CSR look into this for me and help me get something done? I know there are logs and it can be checked. This is the third time this has happened, and putting in an ingame ticket does no good. =(

There seems to be some confusion on how the looting system works so I’ll explain it a bit.

The item you mentioned is item level 56. The new Need Before Greed looting system is the default option when using the Dungeon Finder to make a group on items that are above item level 70, which is basically Outland gear beginning in The Ramparts. Items that are below this number go by the standard Group Loot system.

We felt this starting point of item level 70 was a better way to go since items can be a little more disorganized at the lower levels and several classes change their armor type along the way. We put in the satchel of helpful goods to balance this out a bit and support players leveling their way up through dungeons.
