Anyone who says Master Loot is better is just one of the people who benefited from it. It's that simple.
I can't tell you the amount of times some item was denied from someone because of arbitrary reasons. And these were small, family friendly guilds. And not because of any gearing tactic, but only cuz something is already "reserved" for someone or the GM's gf really wanted a new weapon or whatever.
Then there is the horseshit system that is DKP or any variation of that. I raided with a bigger guild back in the days that used DKP (cuz the guild was pretty big) and it just punished both me and anyone who joined after me.
There were like 10 people with so many DKP points that if you happened to be their armor type/role whatever, you could wish goodbye to every single loot drop until they were fully geared. There was simply nothing to do against that. I literally had to wait like 2 months to even be like "okay I can actually afford to roll on something now".
Beyond horrible.
Now, with personal loot you can actually gear yourself. Crazy right? And there are people who want to deny other people from getting loot still. Shit's crazy, man.
Yes, you get the occasional titanforge that you could pass on, but most of the time (that's like 95%+) it doesn't fuckin matter cuz the person you could pass it on to gets their own titanforge on something else he can use. Who cares, you both still gear at the same pace.
Which should be the norm, afterall, you BOTH participated in whatever content you did.
