[dev1001] Treasure Pool Menu Additions

Hey Dev Team /salute

Adding additional options to the Treasure Pool Menu:
This is sort of an indirectly related topic regarding items and such ^^, but It would help to greatly ease the cumbersome task of passing/lotting while in the heat of battle forever and ever lol. Zoning will in fact reset any current "Always Pass" or "Always Lot" options. It's pretty self explanitory, so I'll just leave the magic of figuring out how to bring it to life up to your capable hands. Thanks for listening. /farewell

Additional Treasure Pool Menu Options Example
----
Add Option: Always Lot
----
Add Option: Always Pass
----
Add Option: Lot All
----
Add Option: Pass All

**Perhaps add a restriction that makes "Cast lots" and "Lot All" unable to activate at the last 30 secs of the treasure pool item time limit. This could potentially help Identify "Ninja Lotters" towards the end of the treasure pool item time limit allowing enough time for party leaders to act appropriately against such behavior.**

This would be incredibly useful. I'd love to see something like it added.

Could lead to people accidentally lotting things they shouldn't when they leave it on by mistake.

Then hopefully they'll notice, and go back into the treasure pool and pass them. You can always pass after lotting.

It could also be automatically disabled when zoning to help prevent that.

That can lead to mistakes and "mistakes".

"Mistakes" already happen anyway, and this would not introduce a new problem.

This would just give then a better excuse to lot everything.
And about ninjaing, they could just activate it just at the last seconds, could use that to afk after say afk and give an excuse after come back also. No need for more drama.

lol Unfortunately, playing Devils advocate with MMOG's is easy since a huge number of things can't be helped in regards to what can go wrong with certain game mechanics. Like there's nothing anyone can do if you've lotted something but you D/C before it drops to you (that is if all folks don't pass the item before you D/C which is almost never the case lol).

In the same vein, ninja lotters are just a problem that will take special tools to get rid of them. I personally say kick anyone that goes all silent and doesn't respond after being told to pass an item for more then 30 seconds Perhaps something that would lock the ability to lot when the timer is too close to dropping items to folks would help, but who knows.
