This is something not talked about much,
but I think bringing personal loot into classic would fix many things such as HOJ being reserved in every BRD run*, Mounts in dungeon/raids, legendaries/mega epics that every man and his dog SR’s/Hr’s. Thus making groups for every venture, no longer gate kept and refusing certain classes who need the same items & will organically increase the amount of available groups for everyone.
Although maybe allow guild groups to remain ML for the shared and or funnelled loot purposes.
*i play every class so please don’t take this as a me problem
As a sidenote when in Retail they moved ML to Guilds only, everyone then moved to “you must also join our guild to join the run”.
Personal loot was a decent idea, but having it forced was garbage.
If you don’t like the group’sloot rules, make your own ‘everything is fair’ group, see how hard it is to find the roles people don’t want to play.
Personal loot was the best thing that came out of BfA. Sadly it will most likely not happen again.
The HR gang would lose their mind if it got implemented and the casual player is too oblivious to the benefits.
IF personal loot happened I think you should be able to trade the item with anyone that participated in the encounter(even 5 man dungeons I say).
Who knows it might even encourage people to treat others with some common courtesy now that the items weren’t theirs from the get-go.

I don’t understand what you mean by this.
People make groups with loot rules to suit them, usually. Which means anyone who wants said items that is ruled out & means they probably won’t join.
If you make a group where everything is free roll… Why would you? You will only attract the classes/spec which are after the specific items, meaning more competition. (of course this isn’t ALWAYS true, there are some no HR groups, but they are undeniably few and far between.)
There are often groups/raids sat in queue for a loong time wating to fill in order to get going, but struggle since they HR the main items that people want. Surely this is reason to consider PL?
I want to reiterate this is purely meant to open a discussion to the pros and cons of PL of classic.
How is this an issue?
You can either make your own run or simply don’t join HR item runs.
idk the only thing i remember about personal loot is not getting a single loot in 3raid in a row with that system and never played again BFA 
Yeah they tried it, only to have players being forced to give away their loot or get kicked from the pug
