Add in those 2 options above and I would actually want to see it implemented in 5-mans as well.
For some reason people have this misconception that they are not getting gear as fast as they used to. Certainly, some of the complainers are the very people whose bad behavior necessitated the switch to the new loot system in the first place, because they were able to game the system to increase the rate at which they acquired gear in ways that the new system prevents. But it seems that most of the complaints come down to nothing more than a perception that they are not getting gear as fast. Oddly enough, it has been proven that you are mathematically no less likely to get loot off a boss kill now than you were before, and in reality you are MORE likely to get gear because you are not having to deal with all the asshats trying to game the system. And that is before factoring in the bonus roll from Charms. So I wonder why this perception exists that the process is slower now, when all measurable evidence shows that it is at worst the same and in most cases faster?
