Do you agree that organizing a PUG can be tricky, and some sort of compensation should be handed to the organizer for their effort?
If yes, instead of using master looter and reserving items which alienated and disgusted the playerbase how about either one of those? :
1) Give the raid leader a humble gold amount per boss killed
2) Have the raid leader a 10% or 20% to get an extra item via personal loot per boss killed.
Some ideas, to promote pugs, and leading them, since we all hate master loot and reserving as polls are showing.
Some food for discussion.
