waiting on loot rolls

[Dificeman]

Not sure where to post this.

Can we get something changed with the loot/roll system. Make it so we can roll and then leave without having to wait for everyone. Also make it so that if you do not roll you get 0 of the loot. It should automatically be a forfeit on the loot.
People acting in a scummy way of refusing to roll, hoping others leave so they get the loot to themselves gets very tiresome. Another thing how about giving us a window or something that shows who has currently rolled on loot. Then if nothing else we can report these people for that type of behavior.

I remember back in ARR I was in some primal extreme farm, and someone always kept holding up the loot. Then someone in the party said everyone type what you rolled. Things changed rather quickly. I have asked this a few times since and that has worked.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they found a way to start outing the people in alliance raids with a highlight color or something that they haven't rolled. I have no problem waiting out the clock either way, in-case there is a griefer reading this.

My go to method has always been to type in Alliance chat, "Whelp. Time to turn on Youtube."

It works near every time. People holding up the roll usually don't want to wait themselves and seem to give up if you announce you'll wait them out.

They really should reduce the timer though because it's often abused to avoid kicks too. There's no reason it needs to be five minutes long.

shorten the timer from 5 minutes to 2 and a half minutes.

I feel like even 2 and a half minutes is too long, somewhere around 1 and a half to 2 minutes would be best in my opinion.

It's a toss up at that point whether you want to roll for loot or fight enemies. Sometimes when people are constant pulling you then have to choose between helping with the fight and rolling for things, and if you're the tank (lets be real, tanks aren't always allowed to set the pace) or the healer, that could be bad.

There's also cutscenes to consider (sure you don't watch, other people might).. so SOME leeway is necessary.

Has to be long enough to last past the longest cut scene that pops at the moment someone can loot.

Some of the longer ARR dungeons may be on the longer end.

Newbies shouldn't have to decide between cut scene or loot.

Fair points, for some reason I completely forgot about cutscenes lol.
Maybe if chests couldn't be opened until all cutscenes ended? Though that would probably cause a good chunk of issues as well.

Yeah, the timer has always been too long in my opinion. Halving it would work wonders.

A shorter timer would be nice but if you want the loot that badly, just stick around. You can AFK to grab a drink, take out trash, etc. while the roll counts down.
