While getting loot in World of Warcraft is usually a joy, picking up gear for a class or spec that no one in your party (or guild for that matter) can use can get rather frustrating. Thankfully, the developers from Blizzard know about this problem and plan on addressing it in the future.

Community Manager Bornakk spoke about this on the official World of Warcraft forums. He noted that they will try to create loot that will be applicable to more classes and specs in the future:

We do plan to have more specs share some loot. I know it's great when the Retribution-Paladin piece drops, but that's a piece that isn't good for 26 other classes/specs, so hopefully we can make it so the item will apply to more classes/specs so even the randomness of loot won't be so much of a big deal.

This is pretty good news for the entire community as it makes raiding much more fun. While this is a step in the right direction, we can't help but dream of a time when loot will actually be determined by the composition of the party and specs.
