If they handed out the loot to people according to the playtime in the raid that would just rewarding for quantity of time and not for quality of player. You could basiclly just stand AFK and get what you want. Sure, you can technically still do that, but if they were to reward you according to your playtime then just by farming time you'll increase your loot chance, is that really fair? Then you might think a person should be rewarded by there skill in the raid? But how do you determine who have done the best job in the raid? by kills? by death? or what? You'll get alot less kills if you hold the relic then people wouldn't want to hold the relic as that would decress the chance for loot. Should you then award it for time holding the relic? That would just decress the chance for loot for everyone else. Is that fair? Maybe reward the person for killing oracles? But what if a person doesn't get teleported and end up with zero kills for oracles, that personen would then have the lowest chance to get loot, but he is just as important because its he/she who has the job to open the portal for the people killing oracles/holding the relic. In a raid you ARE A TEAM, no one is the bettre person, some might have a heavier role but everyone is still needed. RNG might feel like a f-ing b**ch, but it doesnt try to say who is the best/worst and then give you loot according to what the game thinks is the best player. Its just random its just as fair as its feels unfair. It has the potential to give everyone a equal chance of getting loot and it also has the potential to give everyone a Mythclaster as it have the potential to give no one.
