Please do something about Roll Trolls

Hey, look at that. It was right there in the OP all along.

Except that’s wrong. It’s actually not about people leaving, it’s about other people rolling first. This issue is pretty much exclusively in content where loot lockout is still in place and people have to lot specific items. So if someone who would lot your item lots on another item and gets it then you have less competition for your item.

E.G. O9 drops a bolt, 2 pedals and a chain. You are after a bolt, you pass the pedals and chain but don’t lot the bolt, you have 7 other people who could be after a pedal a chain or don’t care and lot everything. By not lotting the bolt you remove 3 of those people as competition for your lot because they will settle for a chain or pedal. So 7 competition goes down to 4. You basically cut the competition for your lot almost in HALF and that’s not even including the people in the run who were exclusively after a pedal or a chain and aren’t interested in bolts.

So in that scenario, what would you rather do? Hold up the lots 5 minutes to practically DOUBLE your chances of getting your lot, or roll right away and lose it and spend another 30+ mins in queue (as a dps) and another 10 mins doing the duty (if it goes well) just to repeat the same process?

Don’t blame the lotters, blame the loot system. THAT is what needs to change.
