When I take guildies (small guild, long time friends, only 5 of us in it), I set Group Loot and turn looting off on my 4 followers (or however many left there are).
I do this for myself only - they all know and freely accept that rolling, like everything else in WoW is character based. We've been gaming together for 8 years now, so rolling is a rarity anyway.
If I was with a pug (for reasons passing comphrehension) I'd be rolling on all 4, or /afk my way outta there.
The only time i'm grouped with someone else is running a RL buddy through an instance and typically I don't loot a thing unless it's a blue BoP he can't use and I disenchant it.
Other than that I don't group with anyone else so as to avoid confrontations over loot.
I would agree with the 4 rolls out of 5 but this is usually what happened to me when I was in a non-mboxing guild.
someone in the guild asks for a special run and I let them loot everything because I think it's a one time event, in particular if you are running someones lowbie through an instance.
Then the person has so much fun they want to run with you all the time ( go figure, they got 100% of the loot for 1/5 the work ).
This invariably expands (usually within one day) to them wanting to twink their toon in all possible instances at my expense.
The best thing that happened to me was to join an mboxing guild. nobody needs run-throughs or twinking and it's just nice to be among like minded players.
Amen to that! Although by the time I am usually playing, the wife and kids are asleep.Quote:

I usually let the person I'm with do all the looting with FFA active. Mainly because if I have someone else in the group, it's specifically a friend and specifically to run a particular instance for quests for that friend.
