Feel free to discuss the system in this thread as well. :)
09/29/2011 06:35 PMPosted by ArovaneJust to make sure I understand this, if I were to clear Dragon Soul with Raid Finder and receive no loot, then anymore attempts with said character for that week means auto-pass on all loot until the following week?
09/29/2011 06:40 PMPosted by GoatcallerDoes this mean recolored stuff like normal/heroic, or the whole item will be replaced with a new model?

Daxxarri! A typo! "lootalong"
I must advert my eyes. Although, picking up something called a 'lootalong' sounds pretty awesome. Anyway, I hope the system works out well. I have a feeling the first couple of weeks will be plagued with /need rolling for Off-Off-Spec.
09/29/2011 06:30 PMPosted by HippeauxI know it says that it might be expanded if it's popular, but how popular can it be if it's only one raid?
Just to clarify...
Completing the raid in 'LFR' mode has no affect on my eligibility for loot in normal/heroic raids?
09/29/2011 06:56 PMPosted by Jepi.e. If I do a Raid Finder Dragon Soul, then a normal Dragon Soul, will I be able to loot the same bosses twice, or will I be ineligible to recieve the normal version loot (and vice versa)?
09/29/2011 07:18 PMPosted by Kibblesotherwise you might as well just lock the raid as you do normal and heroic modes.
09/29/2011 07:15 PMPosted by DotstatusNeed before greed and vote kick cooldown, no thank you.
Wouldn't allowing for multiple raids, at least the ones in this particular expansion, be a better gauge of the actual long-term usefulness of this feature?
Daxx, why not consider perhaps a limit of 1 or two drops per week instead of the way you currently have it. Because one person could easily wait till the end of the week and then possibly get multiple drops while anybody else doing it might get none. It seems a little unfair, I think it would make more sense to have a cap on gear earned, maybe 1 or 2 pieces, so that players first of all won't be relying on one boss and second of all, won't instantly leave the group when they see multiple players eligible for the loot they want to roll on.
This is a very flawed system, I hope to see a change to it.
09/29/2011 07:34 PMPosted by Oudhp1) Will Raid Finder do experience/capability check for players who queue as leaders? What is the stop someone from queuing as leader even though they have never done Dragon Soul previously?
Would I be able create a full group of 25 people on my own server and queue for LFR or am I required to leave at least 1 spot open to be randomly filled to use this difficulty setting?
Also, is this lockout exclusive from the normal and heroic mode lockouts or are they all sharing the same lockout?
09/29/2011 08:04 PMPosted by SpinnerdhPlayers will be leaving as soon as they get there if they see to many people in the group that may and probably will roll on their gear.
