Loot Auto-drop in WoD? Please fix ASAP

[Gardes]

It's a matter of it being easy to focus too much on the actual raid and forget about the loot pool. This is particularly susceptible to happen when only one boss in the raid drops the particular thing you want, making it easier to mentally overlook what everything else drops.

So what you're saying is, you look up the loot list, you find the item you want and what boss it drops from and you want to just do the raid and let ALL the loot timer from all bosses to run out and not give you the loot except for the boss you're aiming for? You want to make everyone else who are aiming for other bosses to wait for your timer to run out? That sounds selfish to me.

And no, I've never had any unwanted loot drop into my inventory in any of the ct/st runs. Cause between running to the next destination with my controller and waiting for the raid to initiate the next fight, I have plenty of time. Move your notification window to somewhere in the middle if it's so hard to see.

Seriously though, how do you not expect to get rewarded for killing a boss? It's common sense and literally the only reason you are in there when it comes out. If you don't understand that killing a boss yields loot, you may want to tone down your gaming experience to an etch-a-sketch.

Again, not the issue.

I'm GLAD this will be happening. Its annoying when people sit around and don't roll.

[SarkdenTepes]

How is that not the issue? The issue is getting locked out on loot because you aren't capable of noticing you are fighting a boss, killing a boss, then receiving loot from said boss. It's no different than doing a dungeon or another raid zone that contains multiple bosses that drop loot.

I think we should stop trying to dumb down things because people have the attention span of... ooh a shiny object.

Too bad it doesn't even solve the problem, because even when you've already gotten your weekly loot, you can still hold up the line by not passing. (At least, this is how LotA and ST worked)

Not always staying on top of the loot pool =/= not knowing what fights will drop loot. They're two separate issues, we're talking about A, you're complaining about B.

Yes, I've been that person before. Because I afked, and because I was more bothered about looking at other things during that time. And you know what? I deserved to get given the useless piece of gear I was too distracted not to see was being rolled on for an entire five minutes. So I didn't complain because I should have been paying more attention. As others should.

Well, I don't agree that's how it should work (and neither do many others, which is why they changed it eventually). Just because you accepted flawed game design based on arbitrary loot rules for this one specific series of raids, it doesn't mean we all have to.

Here's the thing, though. If you're running a raid for loot, chances are you're going to know when the loot drops and whether or not to need/greed/pass on said loot when the loot roll happens.

Five minutes is at least 60 times longer than I need and should be more than enough time for even the player with the slowest reaction times to make their roll.

And the worst punishment of not doing it? You get a piece of loot and you can't get another piece from that same loot table for a week. It's not like you're getting banned or kicked for it.

And to be honest, one of my biggest pet peeves in this game is when people just don't roll on loot at all. Because then I have to wait the full five minutes if it's an item I've needed/greeded on in order to see if I actually get it, and that is so annoying to deal with.

Here's a big thing for me personally: In an earlier run of ST I was vote kicked from a party after the loot from Amon dropped and before the final boss was engaged. I was vote kicked because another DRG in the party was also after the body drop. After that happened to me, I stopped passing on loot until the group started the next boss just to be sure it wouldn't happen to me again, and once the next fight starts it's easy to forget to pass. I know I'm not the only one this has happened to either.

It's a QoL change. You can say all you want about people having time to pass or lot, but thing happen or people have their reasons.

Bottom line - making it so that loot that is NOT rolled on falls to the floor instead of automatically going to someone hurts no one and has the potential to saved someone from a wasted week.

Like Gokuhan I too wait to the last minute to pass cause a FC who entered together decided to be douche bags one time. AFAIK not rolling prevents from being unfairly booted. (And to anyone that's wondering I don't do this after the last boss. That too is douchy.)

[Amiantos]

Only time this ever happened to me was in the first CT when I wasn't paying attention and wound up with the mnk boots. Totally my fault since I didn't bother to click pass. People should learn to walk on their own and not have their hands held the whole time because in all honesty this upset is quite laughable. People who say "Well what if it's the final boss and everyone before I get out of the CS."
First off that CS where it shows your group doing a pose or what ever is now 100% skippable and has been for awhile now. Second off I don't even think the ps3 is that slow to load so if this is happening you might want to stop using that toaster and either upgrade your pc, or get the ps3/ps4 version.
