    I sometimes wait a bit before I roll x) I often run expert for drops to desynth, and on occasion I'll roll for an item I have on my armory chest already, so it takes me a bit to desynth it first and THEN roll. Specially because in most cases people just sprint the hell off.

    Still doesn't take very long though, so 30-60 seconds should be more than enough... and yeah, people indeed do this to avoid vote kicks, so all the more reason to shorten roll times. :/

    The actual time to compare the item to what's in my armoury chest usually only takes a few seconds, but that's still longer than I'd let my character stand still in the midst of a running fight, so it has to wait until the fighting is over. That's why I specified that the concern applies only to the the MID dungeon chests, because it's the remainder of the run and all the fights involved that can take a few minutes. Of course, if the party doesn't mind waiting a moment to check if I already have something (or a better alternative to it), then I'll roll before we move on to the next fight. But most parties want to go right into the next fight immediately, and loot rolls have to wait for a lull in the action.

    Honestly I forget about the loot if someone else opens it.....It should pop up like it does when you open it, not just be a notification to the side. I always forget about those....

    That being said, the timer should be shorter.

    Also, I'd like a "Pass All/Greed All" option.

    It can if the tank is wall to wall pulling leaving little time for breaks for people to see the loot list.

    It can take pretty long if I need to keep sprinting after tank to keep him alive. Playing on controller doesn't make it easier. But tbh even as DPS in low level dungeon I'd feel bad stopping in middle of fight to look at loot. Some filter list would be cool and reduce amount of times when I roll on item in last 60 sec.

    When it is the tokens for gear, see omega, I'd take some time to figure what to need or pass. Weekly lookout wants me being careful. Yes when I run that I know what I need, but better be safe than sorry. 60s is borderline, 120 are enough.

    Yes but it makes it extremely easy for trolls to just run off and open chests so that there's always a roll for loot timer to protect them from being kicked. That's the primary issue here.

    Cut the time down and implement auto need,pass and greed. Also why stop to compare? Just need it, if it's better keep it and if not turn it in for seals.

    It doesn't take 300 seconds to compare. But the question is does the group stop at any point in that 300 seconds for you to actually take a few seconds to compare

    This game is all about speed runs at the minute so no-one stops for anything especially loot. If you open the loot chest after a boss and look to compare that drop next thing you know your tanks dead or something such. Be it cos you weren't healing or you didn't kill enough of the next trash pull to make the damage manageable when cooldowns wore off.

    You may have stopped to compare but the rest of the group certainly didn't.
