    Roll Timers

    Sitting in the Raid a bit ago, we had some playing the "let's sit here and not roll, so people will leave and we get the loot without having to roll" game.

    Seems to me that we need a roll timer. That goes into effect when the dungeon or raid is over and the final chest is opened.

    So after the final boss is defeated, the chest is opened. You've got 60 seconds, maybe 90 seconds, to make your roll decisions. When the timer runs out, anything you have not rolled on is automatically passed on.

    This will prevent people from camping out and refusing to roll. Take into account the "death" animation if you want. But any big cutscenes shouldn't trigger until after you try to leave the dungeon or raid anyways.

    Doesn't every chest already have a roll timer?

    Dunno. I know people avoid rolling in Raids, because if people leave their rolls are nulled. We were there at least a couple minutes before someone finally rolled.

    All loot has a 5 minute timer, which you can view by clicking each item in the loot window even after you roll.

    The timer needs to be reduced to 1m00 or 1m30, certainly no longer than 2m00.

    Yes. But id go further if you dont roll within a min after everyone else did you get an auto pass.

    And lets not speak about premades who dont roll on stuff others need to stall it out even more...

    Maybe 2 minutes for the last boss of the raid, considering how many things drop, to give everyone a chance to choose to roll or pass, but yes, 5 minutes is just too long.

    Roll, then tab out and read something. What I'd do anyway.

    If it looks like you have one or more Roll Trolls in the raid, at the final kill roll on the loot (pass on what you don't want/need/can-loot), then say in raid chat "Rolled, need to AFK for a few, great run all".
    99 times out of a 100 the Roll Trolls will then go head and roll.
