Why do people say that Wardens will now have to compete with <fill in the blank> for gear? Unless you haven't been playing recently and didn't read what they said, all the Scaled Instances will be getting new drops and the drops are based upon you and your class specifically. Rolls are gone. Each character has their own chance to get equipment/armour from their own loot table. At this stage all we have been rolling on is to determine who will open the chest(s).
For Instances that have not yet been scaled, you are still going to have to roll (for some stuff) or keep doing what you have before - buy it from the specialized Barter NPC with the specialized coins. I would bet that people talking about 'competing' are speaking of end-game stuff anyway and that will all be auto-loot. Again, the armour sets (like the DG stuff and soon I would guess OD stuff) went right into the Skirmish Camp. You are not competing with anyone there.
It is logical, in view of the times in which we live. But to be logical is not to be right, and nothing on God's earth could ever make it right!
