I obviously think my idea was a good one, and I'm not in TMO. TMO requires (generally, I think?) tracking and attendance and trak ledge socking and such. That's a lot different than a random batphone list that rewards repeat raiders somewhat more than first-timers.

I'm one of the people that would come to raids with this idea, and I'm not "tickled just to fight a raid mob and have any kind of a shot at loot" (phat enchanter loot off those dragons, am i right? :P). How long will something like this keep working if the players who show up raid-in and raid-out keep losing out on gear they need to some level 56 with no resist gear who showed up for his first dragon ever because he was in the zone when it popped? If people are tickled at the chance to fight a raid mob and have any kind of shot at loot, probably not very long... long enough to see each boss once or twice maybe before they get frustrated with a minimal chance at loot despite their superior contributions and efforts?

Also, nothing I said suggested that a person who is on their first raid will be incapable of winning loot over someone who has done 1/10/100 raids before. Like I said, there is fair and there is fair. One fair gives everyone who shows up for THIS raid an equal chance at gear that they need. The other fair gives people who have contributed more in the past and/or more right now a better chance at the gear they need.
