I'm pretty happy with the compromise they proposed... I'd proposed offering tokens that would clear if you looted a raid item for your character as an alternative to fixing the first mod five raid mechanic... X number of tokens allowed a character to loot the raid item they wanted etc...
To me the proposed fix is more beneficial in that you can still get lucky and get a raid item but even if you didn't you're still one trip closer to a 50% shot at a raid item from the list that you'll be able to use. The raid loot odds scaling on raid difficulty also is a change I'm happy to hear will be going into Mod 5...
Take it easy
