I can agree original master loot turned a bit toxic by the end (and im sure before that too). But there was nothing wrong with guild master loot, it just gives guilds an option if they want it or not. Nothing stopping them using personal if thats what they choose.
Did the removal of gml stop me playing? - No. But removal of options becasue of the vocal minority who had one bad experience once 10 years ago really kinda sucks for those who want to play the game in a way of their choosing.
