Trolls and jerks using Roll for Items as a shield.

eh...I'm pretty sure it doesn't take more than 300 seconds to right click > compare item.

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.

This is the part where I point and laugh at the tank for leaving his party behind.
Seriously....get it through your thick skulls speed freaks..stay-wtih-the-damn-party.
Stop running off and "Ass-uming" you're in control cause you cant wait 30 bloody seconds.

That was aimed at the audience..not necessarily you.

When I tank - I make sure the group is still with me....I never leave and run off. It won't kill me to wait a bit. People who dont have this mentality..have no business tanking. - worse when they run off ahead of the tank. Tank isn't necessarily leader either....its a party effort..all or nothing.

As to the loot timer - yes..halve it...its way to long. You snooze you lose.
