And if others are afk?

< CALL 1> x 10 Spam?? lol

What if you had the pass all only apply to none r/e items? that way you could pass all the junk and not miss out on the good stuff.

and...if they don't hear that? Many people mute calls, or ffxi entirely.

Sorry, but i'd rather see drops go to ninja lotters than to the ground because someone wasn't able to lot within 4.5 mins.

Well ^^ you'd technically still have 4.4 1/2 mins since we're talkin' about 30 seconds here lol. That still should be plenty of time to safely lot a drop while protecting from last second Ninja Lots. Plus, I think the protection from sneaky lotters outweigh the "what if i'm afk" argument /stagger Best solution for such a problem is to simply communicate with the folks you're with before anything important happens Unless your hair is on fire... but then I would think you'd have bigger worries than if you missed a lot...I would think.

Well, you have the order just a tad backwards on how you would use the "Pass All" option. You would 1st lot on the "Good Stuff", and then hit "Pass All" after you've received your reward(s) to save yourself the task of having to pass individual items that you didn't want raiding your inventory.

This is where i disagree. How often is ninjalotting really a problem? I mean really? It doesn't happen every day. It happens even less now that everything is so easy to get. Even one lost item because the person meant to lot it was afk or dead before 4:30, but not before 5:00 outweighs any benefit of preventing ninjalotting.

I wouldn't be able to accurately give a percentage, since I personally don't participate with pickup groups anymore, but I'd guess it still happens quite often from the horror stories I've heard from my LS mates on occasion. I recall witnessing it happening during a Odin run a while back where the guy did it and lotted and ran around so he couldn't get D2'd, and no one could do a damn thing about it. That was lots of work all down the drain for someone that truly deserved the gear. It happened again during a Rani run where the guy snuck his lot in at the very last second and won, so I'd say as long as there's desirable equipment that drops from NMs, Ninja lotting will thrive.
Again, your argument sounds more like folks being lazy or not communicating with folks. It's a hard lesson, but it'll teach folks to just pay attention during such times in my opinion.

That would be incredibly useful for botting. That being said, I seriously doubt they'll add it.

because lotting is hard for a bot?

What I would love to see is something similar to TreasureView or Booty. The twist for this is that only the party leader and alliance leader would be able to view it with a contextual menu ready for leader viewing. I think this would make it easier to maintain order in a party and certainly in an alliance for all those people that like to sneak lots in without people noticing.
