is there a way to macro greed this loot?

Seems like in every dungeon run Im the last one to click loot and then everyone has run ahead and I gotta catch up. Is there a quicker way (on pc) to open loot and click them greed (or need)?

Why not click loot while running to the next encounter?

There was a /loot command you could macro but they took it out without any real explanation as to why. I'm not aware of any replacement.

That suggests you are running with your keyboard and not the mouse. If you're running with the mouse you can't click loot.

So hold W for a couple seconds while you click the loot?

You can turn on auto-run for a few seconds while running to the next encounter. That's typically what I do.

Lol I came here to post this, I do the same thing.
However, I am also bamboozled at the idea of someone only ever running using M1+M2 held together.
That's an interesting choice for movement.

It's a choice that gives you analog control over your direction. I do it too on the rare occasions that I play on PC, where I only have a keyboard and mouse set up. Mouse movement isn't as good as a controller, but it's a thousand times better than trying to trying to navigate a twisting path using just the keyboard's straight line movements. (But I really don't see how --or why-- anyone would attempt non-trivial content without a controller.)

I'm a weirdo and play with controller on PC. I just use the analog stick to run with exact control and use the mouse to menu during this case.

Yeah... mouse movement and turning is better... I don't think anyone's going to seriously argue that. But the keyboard still exists and has movement keys. Presumably if someone is rolling on loot, it's a non-critical moment and they can move non-optimally for the literal 2 seconds it takes to deal with that.

It cant be all that different from holding W and turning with right click.

The difference (in combat anyway, the only time precise movement really matters) is what holding W does to the availability of your left hand and all the fingers on it. Holding W means one of your fingers isn't available to conveniently press a hotbar key without weird contortions your doctor would advise against.

But there are times for everything. There are times it's ok and even preferable to do that instead of holding both mouse buttons (for instance when you need to click something else with the mouse... like the loot window).

Personally though, I use an Orbweaver and use the thumbstick for that type of movement.
