Really? You're going to tell new people they might never be allowed to have any drops?
Then we were told off-specs and alt characters will never get gear, period...unless they're for members of the core team/council. So if they asked me to shelve my warrior for the night in favor of bringing my shaman and extra heals, I couldn't have any Resto mail that dropped, even if no one else needed it; it would be sharded and and auctioned, with the money going into the guild bank for repairs...that only the highest-level officers could even use.
I stuck it out for a month. I didn't complain, I didn't beg for drops, even as they were sharded because no one in the council needed them. One day in ICC25, I decided I'd had enough; they sharded an upgrade I needed because the council didn't need it, and I just /gquit and left the raid on the spot. Fuck them, and fuck loot councils.
