How the fuck do you dodge the "No fair, you won the last thing" kind of issues? Or is it basically godloot where the person who can make the case that they'd get the most upgrade gets the item?
You might be surprised how common this is in the "elite" guilds at the present time. The players in an advanced Sunwell guild at this point are generally a self-selected group of people who are putting content over personal interests on a lot of levels, more so than ever before. Everyone is more apt to understand that with only 25 players and far less of each class, everyone will get want they want sooner or later. Legendaries might be the exception, but again most guilds with a seniority system generally know where everything is going long before the RNG throws it on the table.

It's somewhat interesting given the various DKP debates and stereotypes that have circulated in the last three years, but I'd wager that second-tier and lower guilds are actually the ones who have the largest issues with their loot systems at present.
