I'm trying to find some information on this after a guildmate told us the system is supposedly a lot different from previous MMO's.
What he tells us after having been on a PUG raid is that when an item drops, for example a chestpiece that is meant for Sith Sorcerors, only the class its meant for can loot it and there will be one drop for each player of that class.
It sounds interesting and with the potential to eliminate a lot of loot distribution drama. But is that really how it works?
If not, can someone please give us a few details on how it works? Is it like WoW, Rift and so on where 2-3 random items drop and the raid then needs to decide on how to distribute them through whatever method you prefer?
