Can anyone please explan to me why when your down a boss the raid gives out gear to folks.. on its own and you cant give raid gear or roll on raid gear seprate?

this is an intended mechanic on normal mode operations. BW's reasoning is that normal mode is pitched at a level of being PUGable and they wanted to make sure that whoever runds the PUG does not steal all the loot for their friends.

 

Hardmode and Nightmare are pitched at needing a proper organised group using voicecoms etc so the loot is then assignable as you would expect.

 

Not sure if I agree with it but I can see the reasoning.
