This isn't a belief I had nor ever expressed before attending the open raids, so it's not confirmation bias :/

Sorry, was not suggesting your specific case was Confirmation Bias, just saying others that might feel that. It's in inescapable side effect of RNG. I totally agree with your statement and that's what I meant by the %s.

I love to see the loot go to those with less opportunity to hit this content as well, but the fact of the matter is the bulk of the people getting it done are in raid guilds with access. The stated goal of the UN Open Raids is for those with less opportunity to experience the content, not necessarily be handed the loot. That said, there are always discussions going on around these policies.

Perhaps you're aware of something I am not, but the conflict I was aware of was the Carmine Robe (not god loot) and it was handled within the rules:

37.6) Plane of Hate & Fear armor drops will be rolled by only those that can equip the item. Guilds still have the right to distribute loot if their member wins the roll. If the winner of the roll is either role or anon then they forfeit their roll and it will be awarded to the next person with the highest roll. Roughly 30 secs will be allowed to unanon/unrole. (Edited: This is in regard to the open raids described in policy 37)

Even if that wasn't the case, I'm not sure what can be done there. We'd have to have historical loot logs of every player to enable people to be disqualified if they had looted said item in the past. It's just not realistic. I know a lot of people work very hard to make the events as enjoyable and fair as possible. The loot distribution has always been a challenge, but I think we are getting better at it and I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. For example, we had some major concerns being vocalized in events past about Characters that were not there for engage, and I think we've been doing a great job since ensuring they are on the engagement and the community having some faith that that is indeed the case.

this is dumb and bad, unlike open raids, which are cool and good. a daniel won a Tunarian Scimitar this week and we have like five active members.

Working as intended. New requirement stipulates at least one piece of DaG loot goes to Daniel. All praise the mighty Daniel! (it's the only way to satiate his bloodlust)
