Here's how the new Raid Finder system will work in Mists of Pandaria:
- The boss dies.
- The game automatically decides who won some loot, and gives those players a spec-appropriate item.
- Some players may still get mad, but hopefully they are mad at the laws of probability and not at the rest of the raid.

Blizzard Entertainment announced today that it's reducing the size of its worldwide workforce by 600 employees, a massive decrease for a company that reported 4,600 employees as recently as 2009.
