Overview of Loot Systems

By GoW | Published: December 31, 2008
Zomgepics! The joy, the sor­row. The absolute headache for any­one run­ning a guild. This is a fol­lowup arti­cle to The Most Suc­cess­ful Loot Sys­tems. Any sys­tem that involves large teams and lim­ited loot (for exam­ple, PvE raid­ing in World of War­craft) requires a sys­tem to sort that loot out. If your 25-person group takes down [...]
