My guild have recently changed so that melee will get prio on melee weapons. From a hunters pow that really sucks because it means we will have to wait for alot of melees to get Twisted Voyage or the polearm from general before we can even start dreaming about getting our hands on it.
I'm writing here on the hunter forums because I need help from you guys with some really good arguments why to change the rule back again.
As a hunter officer in the guild I think its my responsibility to teach the other officers how important the melee weapons really are for us. It might be just a stat stick but its still a bit amount of our dps thats depending on it.
As my english is not 100% I would be really glad if u could help me out with this and make the other officers change their mind.

We get ranged weapons first.
They get melee weapons first.
Thats fair enough don't you think?

No matter how you slice it, DKP fails. Period.
Anyways, it's fair, as long as long as you get priority on ranged weapons over Rogues and Warriors. Stat sticks for them < Weapons for us, and vice versa. I see no problem with it. Besides, now that staves are good for hunters, your only competition would be a feral drood so you have a much higher chance of getting that over that shiny new pole arm that all the DKs and Retadins want.

I plan on passing Twisted Visage to our Feral, but i have no intention of passing Rune Edge to anybody if it drops.

Well, on my guild I won the Rune Edge over a DK with Betrayer and a Ret with Jawbone... I got pretty surprised with that though...
Then, again, I've seen Giant's Bane drop 3 times, one went to a hunter and two went to rogues... Just because I'm a troll and Siren's is superior to me, they didn't give me the gun... and Auriaya didn't give me the bow yet... QQ

The problem with the argument from their end is that a ranged weapon isn't really a stat stick. They carry a relatively small amount of stats for the wearer, and seem to exist almost solely for their DPS, whereas a stat-stick is just that. Completely beefed with essential stats that increase our DPS a fair amount.
Sure, they get 'more' use out of a weapon, but we come decently close. Whereas with a ranged weapon, there's barely any competition.
For example, Giant's bane is so slightly better than Envoy of Mortality statwise, it wouldn't really be worth it for a non-hunter to take it assuming they had the latter already.
So I think it's crap that they're giving priority to melee. I mean, if you have Journey's End, then yeah, you should be fine, but if you're like me and were stuck with Wraith Spear for the longest time...

Still though, a nice pretty 2h Axe will go to better use if the gaid gives it to a Melee class than if the give it to you just for the stat boost. Yes, I know you can go into semantics about the stats raising your dps etc, but generally speaking if you have an equally geared Ret Pally and Hunter, he'll put it to betetr use than you. You can't really dispute that. It's really just up to your Raid Leaders and the loot system you all use, but I personally wouldn't roll on a melee weapon if a melee class needs it.
