    Looting system - can we see lots before drop?

    This has bothered me for a while. Why can't we see how people are lotting until after the loot drops?

    There are lots of farming runs out there every night in Coil, primals and CT. This is not such a big deal in CT since it is so easy. But most people run Coil on preferred and/or best geared jobs for easier wins. This is also done for primals, especially when tanks and healers are needed. Most people use greed rules so that people who may need to play another job to help the group out can have a chance to get the gear they need.People lie, cheat and take advantage all the time.

    For example, healer gear drops in coil. A group sets up some lotting rules to make it fair to everyone and everyone agrees to greed lot only. A piece drops that a healer wants very badly and so he needs on it while the other healer greeds on it because that was the deal they had.

    Another example, people pick one item to greed on in Titan. Someone greeds on an item that they had agreed not to and wins.

    If it could be seen how people lotted, something could have been said or done collectively. I don't see the point in keeping it secret until after the loot drops.
