As a part of the on-going evaluation of Looking For Raid and the loot system, we have recently implemented a change to the Looking For Raid Need Plus system. Weapons, trinkets, rings, neck pieces, shields, offhand items, and the Robe of Glowing Stone are now class-restricted to their intended users. With the speed at which a Raid Finder group moves through a zone, we?ve found that it makes it challenging for players to evaluate loot decisions ? by class restricting these items, we hope that the natural behavior will have a more positive set of results for everyone involved. This change will not apply to normal or heroic raid or dungeon loot rules.

Raid Finder and Need Plus are both very new systems, and we?re working to iterate on these systems rapidly to ensure that everyone has the best possible experience as we learn more about how players are using the system. Please keep in mind that this system is not considered complete and we have further plans to improve upon it within Mists of Pandaria.

If you looted an item from Looking for Raid which replaced another and you need Game Master assistance to recover your old item, please place a petition with the new item name, that you can no longer use it - and the old item name you need restored. For more information on the affected items, please visit the Customer Support forums here- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3729953854#1

We apologize for the inconvenience.

So far all i've noticed is people rolling need on anything they can. if they win and don't really want it, they try to auction it off in raid chat.

Can you not set a master looter?

Setting a master looter in a raid of 25 random players would be pretty fail for 24 of the 25 . .

They had to fix an issue where certain items were giving the "bonus roll" to the wrong classes.

This occurred on my server the other day..the item was a sword, with agility stats...

A warrior needed the item, as well as a hunter and druid, but the warrior was given the "+100" bonus to his roll when he really shouldn't have.


Warriors are allowed to need on swords.
The issue here was the bonus being applied where it really shouldn't have, so they are making some of these items class specific in order to fix this issue.

there might be loot issues but for those who really don't care much about loot and just want to play the game this pretty much sums up how most feel about the LFR.

Interesting thread. Possibly the most positive thread I've seen in recent memory on the official forums.

Is the Raid Finder really that user friendly and accessible now?

I wish they had put this in before they went hardcore elitist on me for Cataclysm release cause maybe I would have been able to stay around to test out this feature. Oh well, I hope everyone playing continues to enjoy WoW.
