im not sure if this belongs here or not but i couldnt find a better place to post it. this all comes down to the live update where they changed the fabled class armor that drops in eof raids to be in line with the classes that are in the raid at the time of the mob dying. no more class armor dropping for classes that are not in the raid. i played level 1-70 as a wood elf templar. after getting tired of not being able to throw a rock 10 feet in qeynos without hitting 5 templars, my guild talked me into betraying to a inquisitor. when we raid the eof zones, we have 1 inquis (me) and 2 templars. i know that we have had enough templar gear to drop that both of our templars have almost full sets minus 2 pieces each and we have transmuted enough templar gear to equip 1/2 the server. well i know every mob that drops my specific armor and i always look for my pieces when we kill those mobs. but never has a single piece dropped on any of those mobs. i lost count of the times we have cleared fth, mmis and eh and have not ever had a single piece of inquis gear drop.... until we got a inquis app about a month ago and they joined us on the fth raid towards the end. i sat out and gave up a spot for them to raid. and the first mob the raid killed was malkonis (drops my gloves) and ill be danged if he didnt drop the inquis gloves. with the new inquis not being in guild yet and only having been in 1 raid for less than 30 minutes they asked me to log in and loot the gloves. needless to say the inquis didnt like that and removed his app (later we learned he was just a loot monger and had been through several other guilds because he didnt get every thing that he wanted). so fast foward to last night in emerald halls. we cleared up to the 3rd floor and had another inquis app that afternoon. i needed to leave for work so i logged out and that inquis logged and and within 20 minutes they pulled and killed herald of wuoshi (who drops my helm) and ill be danged again if the helm didnt dropped. ofcourse the same rules apply and my toon was logged in to loot the helm. the only 2 pieces of inquis gear to ever drop for our guild was the only 2 mobs that we killed with a different inquis in raid. now whats the chances that we killed all those mobs atleast 10+ times each and none of them ever dropped my class gear... ever. and the 2 times we had another inquis in the raid when 2 mobs were killed they both dropped inquis gear? can the fact that i was originaly a templar and betrayed to a inquis have anything to do with it? theres got to be something going on. anybody in the know have a answer or any input on this?

<p>If I was in a raid and a Fabled piece of gear dropped and I was the only one in the raid who could use it, and the other members in the raid told me to allow some dude who wasn't even part of the raid to log in his character to loot the Master Chest because he had been trying to get that loot drop in the past....</p><p>I'D BE [Removed for Content].</p><p>Didn't mean to derail your topic, but....</p><p>I'D BE [Removed for Content].</p>

To panos - Its not about 'fair' so to speak its about gearing up your day to day raid force and not some new guy whos still trying out with you. To the OP - I betrayed to Dirge from troub and have ye to see a dirge item drop but i dont think there would be a bug.  Class is just a database entry and the loot code im sure just looks at that nothing to do with betrayal or some such.

this thread has nothing to do with you getting loot or your personal prefrence on what you would or wouldnt do. because first off you have never been in a raiding guild or you would know that recruits dont get loot. and surely not one that has been in the raid less than 30 minutes and does not even have a guild invite. the question was directed to anybody in the know if there could be any connection with me betraying from a templar to a inquis and no inquis loot dropping while im in raid.
