Yes. It definitely would have helped my clan. In one VoG alone, I received 2 pairs of boots (already had boots) and 1 pair of gloves (already had gloves). A clan member received the chest (his second) and another member received the helmet (his 4th). I needed chest and helmet. I played every week, on both difficulties (not always full completions) and could not get them! Yet those other clan members needed gloves and boots. We could have helped each other out, but nope. instead we just had to keep trying. Finally they got the pieces they need, but I never got my gear. Now that CE is out, I have all but the chest piece for my warlock. Just need the shards, so I suppose it's not as critical anymore. But then again I'm sure my clan would have banded together to donate shards to get someone to 32 to carry the team faster.
