I understand why loot lockouts for raids are in place and I don't advocate removing them at raid launches. However, I would like to ask if we could change the chest lockout on the 8 man savage raids from a per-character basis to a per-role basis. I think that if you can concurrently find the time to raid multiple times a week, and you are good enough to complete that high level content in multiple roles, it seems fair to be allowed to gear them up simultaneously without impacting the loot lockouts of the rest of the group.
With that said, I think the token drop should remain on a per-character basis (otherwise someone might play multiple roles and stack token loot on one role. I also understand you don't want someone acting as a mercenary to clear two-chest boxes on one role. I just have friends good enough to play multiple roles who would like to raid more than once a week with other friends, and I think asking them to do it at least on another role would hopefully be enough to let them play without hurting the loot count. At least there feels like enough difference in play between tanks, healers, and DPS to make it worth asking.
