I disagree. Under the new system, only you know what you win. If trading was permitted, then you could let the group know that you have an item you want to trade - maybe for free. If you keep quiet then noone will know what you do or dont win. At least with trading, duplicates or unwanted items can be put to good use.
106 bosses killed in LFR. One item drop from boss. 14 tokens used. 1 token granted loot. RNG as it is now is retarded. I feel like playing a slot machine in a casino and wasting my money in it. WoW always was a one-armed bandit and the mechanism of addiction works pretty much same. I only keep coming back becouse I have friends in WoW who refuse to play anything else with me. Play WoW or GTFO pretty much. This does not change the fact the everlasting RNG carrot on the stick chase is a moronic (yet successful by its addiction) concept.
Now you know how I felt during BC. I had a hunter main back then and I NEVER was able to get anything better than the steelhawk crossbow (drop off the huntsman in Kara, item level 115). I was doing BT with a crap weapon but awesome other gear. Heh, I still outdpsed some of the people in my group too. I was happy.
Over the course of 2 months of doing LFR, I've received exactly 8 items from it on two characters: 1 Essence of Terror, 4 Kri'tak , 2 Regail's Dagger and one Amber Scalpel. So yeah, not getting loot is almost better at that point.
Its not a good system, I rerolled to help the guild out as we were short dps, I cant get anything to drop and as such because were progressing I cant be carried through heroic modes. Its not a good system. If we could trade with players, we as a guild would run it every week and we could gear faster. Not enjoying this at the moment.
I am sorry but LFR is not about gearing up your group faster. It is intended to provide a raiding experience for people who can't/won't/don't have time to run normals with a guild group. If your guild is progressing through heroic modes, are they not able to run a 2nd group (including you) through normals to help you gear?
Let's see... two months with no items at all. The OP is complaining about Amber Shaper, so he can do all the LFR raids. That's 16 bosses/week, plus 3 charms, for 19 chances.
At 15% chance per boss, getting no loot for two months (let's call that nine weeks) has a probability of about 1 in a trillion. So, we can say that with high probability not a single player is in the situation the OP purports to be in, unless they've been skipping an awful lot of loot opportunities.

My warlock alt just got the sha-touched sword of Tsulong using a charm. So, no.
