    I would like to know IF someone (anyone!) lotted on gear before it drops. There are many times I instinctively pass something because I know I don't really need it (nor would I want it if someone else does), and then I regret not rolling when I realize it's going to hit the ground anyway.

    Even though 'need' roles could be ninja attempts (depending on the rules set forth by the party), there's really not much you can do about it. I mean, so you see a guy rolled need on an item. Oh no, he's a ninja! But what are you going to do about it? Now you know... but you would have figured it out anyway 10 seconds later when he gets a drop he shouldn't have. It's not like you could have stopped him. In accidental situations, your idea would be useful because a party leader could wait to pass and see that someone rolled on something they didn't mean to... and then you could mention it to the person and they could leave before any real harm is done.

    I can only imagine there is a reason SE didn't show us who rolled on something... probably to prevent bias. As in, you go into a run with mostly FC people, and a few pugs. You see that the pugs are rolling on something, so everyone rolls so it can stay in the FC group.. even if they wouldn't have otherewise wanted it. (I'm not saying I'd do this, but, it's a potential issue that would prevent complete fairness from blind rolling).

    Also, as far as SE is concerned, ninjaing doesn't 'exist'. If you complain about someone ninjaing an item, they didn't technically do anything wrong according to SE's rules of need/greed. So, SE really has no incentive to implement this to prevent ninjas because greed parties are a strictly player-base enforced thing. The person should get a bad reputation for ninjaing something, but they're not breaking any game rules.
