In practice what happens is the casters are medding because they are a little LOM, then puller is out pulling, the rogue is trying to BW up and the bard or ranger is looting everything.
That's a generalization, but that's often what is happening with this new system. Not only do the greedheads get the items, but they also get a bulk of the cash. If the split was more even it would be less of an issue, instead of one more straw on the camels back.

That is true about casters not getting their quota of looting in an FFA situation - where with the classic split it would still even out. What we did in many PUG was give a few gems or so to the casters who were buried in their book most of the time.
I played a human monk and most PUGS would give me PP for my gold/siver/plat often during the grouping so I dont go over the weight limit and hit the AC penalty (was it 14? dont remember).
No means a perfect division of loot, but for me, that was one of the quirks of EQ - grouping was a lot more than just strength in numbers, It identified the players, reputations ingame (for what it is/was worth) - It was very soon before a loot hungry person was known (this was way before the "clerics get all gem drops as they need to buy reagents for symbols" uproars )
