New looting dialogue is a bit annoying, please separate the roll from the 'cast lot'

I do not really care when someone presses the button in the loot window. It just spams the chat dialogue with information that is pretty useless in most situations.

I do care, however, who rolled what and what number they got. Currently the chat filter lumps the "casts his/her lot" with the "has rolled x" dialogue. I would like to please request to separate these two messages since I really do not care when someone pushes the first button, but I would like to see what they rolled when the numbers come out.

Yeah I'm not sure why they put this clutter in, it's not like loots gonna go on a one way trip to Mars if someone's not reminded to roll.

They could of just done it the FFXI way...but I know how much they want to stay away from taking from that game..:X

This was done because there would be trolls at the end of World of Darkness who would not pass or lot on an alliance wide drop, like Puff of Darkness, leaving a dozen people with relatively high lots stuck there for 5 minutes until it auto passed. Now we know who to yell at.

I would like it when someone passes for it to SAY that, though. I had some panic the other day because I passed an item for someone who had requested it, and it said I cast my lot for it. No I didn't cast a lot, I passed! The system should specify that.

Yelling at them will achieve nothing though, if anything the person in question would get even more kicks outta it.

Removing the anonymity removes SOME of the incentive for trolling.

Folk are already anonymous we're on the Internet?

Definitely agree that the current implementation has too much Text Spam.

SE please give us the option to turn it OFF.

Not when I can look a troll's character up on the Lodestone, and blacklist them if they happen to be on my server.

Prior to this change, we had no way of knowing which person had failed to lot. Now we at least know.

O_o That sounds abit sad to me, but I guess there's all sorts of enjoyment to be had online.

Catwho is correct.

Simply because we can see who is not rolling intentionally, it greatly reduces the amounts of trolls waiting on the timer. Most of the trolls do so because they are completely anonymous. When they can be called out in party chat, their tendency to troll others is reduced and I've seen it in practice already.

Only if they're trolling, but. . .

Most people don't do that to troll. They do it in the hopes that other people who rolled will decide that it's not worth the time and leave, thus decreasing their competition. If it was just to troll you'd see it done at the end of every dungeon, at least occasionally--not just sought after rare raid drops.

Does it really though? Can we get some numbers since this has been implemented instead of 'it must be true because I say it is'
All it serves to do is clutter and let folks feel like they've 'won' because they can harass the harasser lol.

I don't think this would work with trolls in crystal tower... I haven't tried it, but I imagine it only says when a person in YOUR party rolls on an item. Those 3-party rolls for pets might only inform you when the 7 dudes in your party roll, and not the 16 other people. I haven't tried it yet, though.

I know about the not rolling people, and that is why my request was to separate the two dialogues in the chat box settings, perhaps one that was
"Show other's roll selection message"
and
"Show other's roll result message"
That way if someone was trolling and you really wanted to know, the option is there to turn it on, but the times I see someone loot-trolling is so rare that it does not justify perma chat dialogue spam in my opinion
