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.

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.
