    If the run is still going and there is no problem, you waiting to roll isnt trolling me. I will upgrade my gear mid run, but im fine waiting until after so i can fix glam too. No troll possible.

    If the run is still going and there is a problem, your waiting is barely a troll. Someone causing problems and hiding behind loot timers is annoying, but fairly rare. And i dont initiate kicks anyway. If youre that bad, i probly left the run already. Cant troll me, i have better things to do then deal with you.

    If the run is over, your wating to roll isnt trolling me. I made my roll, im all set. I can just go afk for 5 minutes, and come back to see what happened. Bathroom break, get a snack, stretch my legs - whatever i want. I have also waited out loot timers with rolls in the low single digits - while announcing that to chat. If you cant get me to leave with a roll of a 2, you might as well just get it over with because you wont just get handed the item. Again, no troll potential.

    Hm. I always just assumed Need wasn't an automatic guaranteed get (if you're the only Need), it was just heavily weighted in favor. Like, figured it could conceivably be possible for a Need roll of 1 to lose out to a Greed roll of 99 or something.

    Sometimes I just roll Greed instead of Need anyway, if it's something I'm not too bothered about missing out on.

    I admit I sometimes cause a little delay on some things like minions and music rolls because I don't want to auto-need everything, and the UI does not tell me if I already have said minion or music (or TT Card?). So if I don't remember for those two or three item types I have to pull up the appropriate UI and search for them, and only THEN do I roll need if I don't have it, or greed, if I can, if I do already have it. It seems a mixed bag on if you can, on minions at least, roll on one you already have.

    One thing I would love to see is an option to autogreed on everything with the ability to turn it off for an item (example: I will greed on everything I see, but if someone has called an item I don't want to roll on it). Auto-need is just asking for problems tbh.

    Nope.
    Winner goes to the highest Need roll.
    If no one rolled need, the winner is the highest Greed roll.
    Someone making greedy rolls can never take a drop from someone who Needs it.

    Sorry to necro this thread, but I think when a dungeon ends, all loot rolls should be reduced to 20 or 30 seconds. A longer timer is fine while the party is still fighting. Don't really need to change anything else.
