Loot Council Policy – WoW Forever

Our fixed Loot Council consists of three members:

• Svennie – Raid Leader
• Cultural – Co-Raid Leader / Officer
• Tris – Officer

All three members have equal voting rights.

Council absence

• If one member is absent, the remaining two make the decisions.
• If only one member is present, a temporary third member will be randomly selected from the attending Raiders.
• Council members who are eligible for an item do not vote on that particular item.

All decisions should be made fairly, consistently and in the best interest of the raid team.

We aim to use RCLootCouncil or a compatible addon, depending on support in WoW Forever.

When an item drops, players can select one of the following responses:

• Best in Slot: Your best item for the current raid phase and main spec.
• Major Upgrade: A significant improvement over your current gear.
• Minor Upgrade: A smaller or situational improvement.
• Offspec: An item for your secondary role.
• Transmog: Appearance only.
• Pass: You do not want the item.

The Council considers:

• Main spec priority: Main spec generally takes priority over offspec.
• BiS and upgrade value: How much the item improves your character.
• Current equipment: Including the item being replaced.
• Performance: Especially during progression.
• Attendance and reliability: Showing up consistently and being prepared.
• Personal progression: Effort outside raids, including gearing and preparation.
• Loot history: Previous items received.
• Raid benefit: Which player provides the greatest overall improvement to the team.
• Guild rank: Raider and Trial.

Raider and Trial priority

Raiders are assessed equally based on the criteria above. Trials are eligible for loot, but Raiders generally receive priority when their upgrade needs are comparable.

A Trial may still receive a major upgrade or BiS item if the Council considers it the best decision for the team.

BoE Items

BoE items are generally reserved for the Guild Bank to help fund raid consumables, repairs and other guild expenses.

If a BoE is a BiS item or significant main-spec upgrade for a Raider, the Council may distribute it instead.

Legendary and Special Items

Legendary items and other exceptional progression rewards may be reserved for predetermined recipients.

Selections are based on class requirements, raid benefit, performance, attendance and commitment.

Any reservations will be announced before the relevant raid content begins.

Mounts and Cosmetic Rewards

Rare mounts and cosmetic rewards will generally be rolled among eligible Raiders in good standing.

Any exceptions or special reservations will be announced beforehand.

Disenchanting Materials

Unneeded equipment will be disenchanted, with materials going to the Guild Bank.

Members can request enchants or materials through the guild ticket system.

We appreciate PUGs helping us fill raids and want to give them a fair opportunity to receive loot, while also protecting the progression of our regular raid team.

General rules

• PUGs are eligible for main-spec loot.
• PUGs may win a maximum of two contested main-spec items per raid evening.
• After receiving two contested items, PUGs remain eligible for uncontested loot.
• Main spec always takes priority over offspec.
• These rules must be communicated to PUGs before the raid begins.

How contested loot is distributed

When both regular Raiders and PUGs want the same item:

1. The Loot Council determines which regular Raiders are eligible for the item.
2. Eligible Raiders and interested PUGs participate in a roll.
3. If a PUG wins, they receive the item, provided they have not reached their two-item limit.
4. If a Raider wins, the item returns to the Loot Council, which decides which eligible Raider receives it.
5. Once a PUG has won two contested items, they can only receive items that no eligible Raider needs for main spec.

Uncontested loot

If no regular Raider needs an item for main spec, PUGs remain eligible regardless of how many items they have already received.

If multiple PUGs want the same uncontested item, they roll for it.

Offspec loot

Main-spec requests always take priority over offspec requests, including when a PUG needs the item for main spec.

The Council handles remaining offspec items after all eligible main-spec requests have been considered.

The Loot Council oversees the process and resolves any exceptional situations according to these published rules.

Alts are welcome when approved for the raid.

• Main characters generally receive priority over alts when both need an item for main spec.
• Alts can receive uncontested loot.
• Exceptions may be made when an alt is specifically requested to fill an important raid role.

Any special arrangements should be agreed upon before the raid.

We track raid attendance and loot history to support fair and informed Loot Council decisions.

Our guild platform is available at:

https://virtuous.dk/

Members can register for their own account and access the member platform.

PlannedOur upcoming Discord bot integration will support raid signups, attendance tracking, tickets and other guild management features.

PlannedLoot tracking will be incorporated into our guild administration as the platform develops.

If you feel something was overlooked or handled incorrectly, contact Svennie, Cultural or Tris after the raid.

We're always open to constructive feedback, but we want to avoid lengthy loot discussions during active progression.

If a genuine mistake is discovered, the Council will review it and explain the outcome.

Our goal is simple. Kill bosses, improve together and enjoy the game.

Loot is important, but teamwork, trust and a good atmosphere matter just as much.

We expect everyone to respect the system, the decisions and each other.

Let's make WoW Forever another great chapter for Team Blue! 💙
