LFR idea: loot based on performance

[Celoric]

Uptime or activity could be the performance measurement. AFKs dont deserve anything whereas people that actually heal, tank or DPS get a better chance to vendor 60g loot over a 28g bag.

Meh, RNG is RNG dude. Just like LFR, sometimes you can have a dry spell of no drops/wins on even normal and heroic modes. LFR loot is fine, you can't really expect to gear up in just 1 or 2 weeks. Suck it up, Jack!

Ilvl!= performance, across the board. I could have the same ilvl as someone else, but a better weapon and 4p and beat them by 15k DPS. Also how would u measure healers and tanks? In a perfect world, good idea. No good way to do it, bad idea.

Like every person who whines about LFR loot you're ignorant of basic probability. You have the same chance at LFR loot as you did in DS if everyone rolled only one what they could use. It's not worse. You just don't see what others get. Now quit fucking whining. Or do you just want them to mail you epics when you hit 90?

I think it is not possible to measure all the thing in LFR.

Seen ninja pull at bosses so many times, how can you prepare for it? (Sometime even locked out half the raid from the room)
Not have time for tanks to discuss how to do it, because dps can not wait 30 sec before pull.
Random things that lower your dps, like MC-ed.
If you die because of lack of healing
You do less dps, beacuse you ran out from raid with fire, while others put it inside raid.
Some dps/tank will do dispell/heal to avoid death, reducing performance (dps/tps, anything) for the success of the raid.

So many things that will ruin the system.

But would be nice to queue on your Main Spec, while you could select a different spec on loot.
This will eliminate they need to queue on your OS and will increase the whole raid performance.

I am a casual actually. And it's not like performing worse will make your chances of loot 0%.

I bet it'd be pretty frustrating if your performance is subpar so you don't get loot and you have no idea how to improve.

Actually, for the raid as a whole (not the individual), it is actually BETTER then in DS, since under the new system, there is a statistically small chance that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE RAID could win loot off of the same boss kill. When everyone rolls on their own personal loot table, with no impact on anyone elses's chances, everyone benefits. Instead of DS style stupidity like only having 4-5 items drop, and losing them all to people who already have better items / dont even want it but rolled anyway / take it for their second or third offspec / etc, etc.

i actually like the idea. it'd be hard to judge but if blizz is smart enough to run simulations of theoretical dps.. they can figure out how much a fresh ilvl 463 90 should do vs a 488 ilvl...

its better to reward players that dont suck. vs ones that just afk and wait for free loot instead of being useful.

obviously they could stop the process of measuring if some1 dies due to lack of healing or too much dmg taken within 5 seconds.
