Loot timer needs to be lowered to 1 minute.

[Abomination713]

The current loot timer is WAY too long and always has been. There is no reason for it to be as long as it is. I'm getting tired of people abusing it to avoid being kicked in dungeons because they know if they don't roll, you have to waste half the dungeon time just sitting there to remove them or you have people that sit there after a Trial or Raid and hope you don't notice you didn't get the roll yet and leave or just sit there out of spite and hope you would rather leave than waste all the time sitting there. This has always been a bad system and should have been changed a long, long time ago. It doesn't take that much time to decide on loot.

nah.

when it's an item everyone wants and a person just intentionally waits until the very end to encourage people to leave (see: ivalice raids) i can understand the frustration but sometimes groups of mobs take longer than 1 minute to take down and i don't want to have to roll for loot while killing things because a dps or healer has decided to go rouge and open a chest.

The timer is fine as it is. It gives people time to figure out if the gear is better than what they already have, especially if it is not for the class they are currently on. Or time to figure out if they like the glam or think if they have that orchestian roll or not.

What I have heard people do is say they've rolled and need to brb for a few minutes. Usually gets the trolls to roll or leave. As the trolls are trying to get the loot via people giving up. If they have to wait the full time, then they're more likely to just roll.

If you're running into enough instances of this to where it is bothering you, you might be the problem causing your party members to want to grief you. I do my roulettes every day and only run into trolls once a week, if that.

I think, a lower rate of time is fine. 3 mins (180 seconds) are enough. No need to wait 5 mins for some loot.

It's a rare occurrence, but when it happens it annoys me to no end since it's so easy to abuse. I've been dealing with this since 2.0.

I could see lowering it a little bit, maybe to 3-4 minutes, but 1 minute is WAY too short.

Sometimes I need time to sort through the loot when there is a lot of it. But not the amount of time it currently waits. 90 seconds should be enough. 180 would be a compromise because it's better than what we have now which is far too long.

[Harriks]

No. System is fine as is.

90 seconds is not enough. i would not lower it past 3 minutes. 5 minutes is fine though because assuming your party is competent the time it takes to kill each group of enemies between bosses should not take longer than that save for a few older, ARR dungeons that are absurdly long due to being remakes of 1.0 ones which were even longer.

a bad party, someone's refusing to do their job or is afk, waiting for a fourth person to come in because someone left for whatever reason, someone pulls because they feel the tank is taking too long, a 24-man raid where you have multiple impatient people and a variety of other situations means that a pull may take more than 90 seconds.

there is absolutely NO situation however where you -need- an item from a chest right that second. that's why ilvl requirements for duties exist. if you are in a dungeon it's because the game knows you should be able to handle it and those few extra stats from a single piece of equipment isn't going to improve your damage or heal output enough to make it worth having it right that second.
