Ah yes, loot systems. One of the many things I hate about current and past MMOs. So glad to see Guild Wars 2 with a new loot system. Oh you participated in something? Grats, you get your own loot based on your level plus xp, karma, and gold.
Loot systems used in FF14, WoW, and all the other current MMOs are archaic.
