Player vs. Everything: Fixing the problem of guild-hopping

May 1st 2008 8:46AM (Massively)
> Locking loot to the guild is far more problematic then the status quo. That gives too much power to the guild owners, because they could use members to farm the loot, and then kick the members from the guild. Who gets the loot then?

Who says anyone else *can* get the loot? Forgive me if this isn't the case (I don't play WoW now, and never was a hardcore player even when I did play), but isn't it bind on equip?

If Epic loot gets 'tied' in some way to the guild, it should *still* be bound to the player that equiped it. If the player leaves, he loses the loot (though maybe he should at least get the vendor value of as some sort of compensation); the guild should not be able to 'reassign' it to someone else.

That way the player can only benefit from the Epic loot if he stays with the guild that helped him earn it, and guildmasters can't use members to get loot with the intention of throwing them out later.
