New low for you eh. Praying on the people who don’t know your real intentions of taking away player choice.

Still angry about losing the gear piece I see

I think it goes a bit beyond that now. Seems to me someone is angry they were told they were wrong.

This thread is extremely confusing. OP posits an idea for someone who gets loot they don’t need to offer it up for roll with an easier method than clogging up chat (which admittedly gets quite confusing when multiple items are going up). The person with the piece would have to opt into it, first of all, and secondly I’m not seeing anywhere in this thread where someone is expecting the loot to automatically be transferred. The person with the loot would still have to trade it.
The main thing it’d clear up is inter-mixed rolls in chat for different loot pieces that were linked at the same time. This isn’t usually a big deal if armor types differ though. Ultimately, feels like this could end up being moderate developer effort for not much gain.
It’s confusing because the op is being deceitful. They already have another thread about loosing gear, because someone passed it to another person. They claim this person who lost wasn’t them, but admitted later they had been in a similar situation. They are hiding their true intentions because they got slammed down for being entitled, greedy and trying to emotional manipulate people into their ideas.

Normally I wouldn’t wade into stuff like this, but source?
I ask because I’d like to see for myself. My opinion is that people (especially on the Internet) are very unwilling to consider it possible that someone actually chooses to move on from a poor stance and come up with something better, so I’d prefer to evaluate myself.

Look at their comment history and read their posts in “passing gear in pugs”. I think it was called that.

Read about a hundred posts in that thread. I think “deceitful” might be a stretch; looks more to me like someone who is coming to grips with the things they perceive as toxic in the community’s attitudes and being unable to properly debate the merits without resorting to fallacies (though to be fair, most of the other participants also resort to fallacies).
Tbh I actually agree WoW’s community can be quite…selfish? compared to other MMOs I’ve played but I’ve also accepted it’s just not changing. Case in point: Joined a Mythic Antorus run today at Eonar, told them I needed it, was nearly at the boss…and they pulled anyways, locking me out after I accepted the lockout. I told them I was right outside and they could have waited, but didn’t. I got pissy, got kicked, pouted for a bit, and now I’m over it and moving on.
Generally-speaking if one asks nicely then they’ll generally see neutral responses or better the majority of the time. Interaction is a two-way street as evidenced by my own encounter today.

They miss attribute quotes, lie and make straw mans. Then they make a second thread, so they can manipulate people who were not apart of the old one. That is deceitful. You’re not op on an alt are ya, cause I’m starting think you are.

Genius idea, actually. I don’t know why they don’t do this.
Maybe even make it to where all the items drop, and the raid leader can distribute them out to the raid, perhaps based on merit, skill, dedication, or luck of a /roll!

This definitely needed an entirely new topic about exactly the same thing as your last thread 
For the newcomers, what happened was that:
- OP was in a dungeon.
- A piece of gear dropped for one person.
- A second person in the dungeon asked for the gear since it was an upgrade.
- The person who got the gear happily traded it to them.
- A third person in the dungeon, supposedly they were all leather wearers despite the OP later saying they were a warlock (so that it couldn’t be them, see, who was posting on a priest) said that they were “busy” when the other person asked but they also wanted the gear.
- The first person was like, sorry, I already gave it away.
- The person who missed out on the gear was busy doing things for the group, which OP (who plays a priest) later mentioned that people could be busy rezzing or topping other people off and could miss the opportunity to ask for gear but it’s important to note that this person definitely wasn’t them, ragequit the dungeon.
- For some reason it took a thousand years to get a new person to fill the role of the ragequitter, and also the tank made some comments like it was mean, or something?
- Two solid days and over three hundred posts later of being the literal only person in their thread that holds their viewpoint, they have started a new topic to start the argument all over again.
Because of this single incident, the OP has sworn off the utility of personal loot forever, and wants to go back to a system where everyone is allowed to roll on every gear drop, because giving things away makes them tingly in their bits and if you’re not the same you’re an awful, greedy person and should feel bad about yourself.
Oh, also the OP pesters people in whispers for their gear drops multiple times, just in case they missed the first whisper.
Now we’re all caught up!

To his point though, the system proposed in the OP of this thread would be nice. As long as whoever gets the loot originally has to decide to off it up, automating the rolls and passing is a win.
My reasons:
When I’m tanking, I’d much rather be moving to the next trash than standing around looking at rolls.
And
I’ve been in pugs where I won a roll for something but someone else opened trade with the guy giving it away faster than I did and the person just gave it to them without checking.
The ops post here isn’t about making it more convenient, it’s about taking the control out of the players hand and one more step to a system where they get the loot they want under any and all circumstances, or at least increases their chances. They also don’t think lower geared people deserve the loot. Again, the OP is trying to stop you and anyone else from making a choice about your loot.

No, your analysis is way off the mark. To put it simply, anyone with half a brain can see loot distribution is the source of trouble sometimes. I have seen that since day one, and so have you. A system that creates the least trouble for most people is probably the best. Go on and thoughtlessly do whatever you like, but dont running off crying into the night when it comes back to haunt you.
Here we go again with the nonsense from you. /slow clap. You are a liar, plain and simple.

You seem to relish in attacking others based on speculation. You have zero proof of your notions.
Oh I have the proof of your lies. I screen shot everything.

It is personal loot. I don’t see how this would change anything because I am pretty sure there are addons that will already do this sort of thing.
I am hoping you aren’t asking for a system where is it mandatory to trade other people because based on your other thread I suspect that is what you want.

I think the current loot system is the best we have had. The only thing they should do is remove the ability for others to see what you loot, that would solve the problems with the people who think they are entitled to everyone else’s loot.

That is exactly what they want, they are just neglecting to mention it here in an attempt to trick unknowing players and maybe they are delusional enough to think they can trick blizz with this.
