The suggestion is very simple: if the loot is tradable and it is usable for other people on the group, add a “pass” button to let other players roll for the item.
Whispering the winner every time to ask if they are going to use the item or not, having the owner of the item asking for other players to manually type /roll, and then transferring the item by manually opening trade is just absurd, awkward and annoying.
Well half the problem is gone if people just stop asking the ones who win if they need their loot. They’ll offer it up if they want to.
Yes, but if the person stays silent, as they usually do, then the rest of the group do not know if they are going to use the item, or if they just didn’t offer, which results in them having to ask about it. So no, the problem is still there.
The social aspect of a multiplayer game is scary, huh?
So you are saying that if I win a piece of loot, I should say “I need this” so someone else doesn’t have to say “do you need that”?
i actually like this idea.
if someone passes on their personal loot it goes into group loot mode for the others to roll
so simple, elegant, convenient. no more asking if anyone needs and waiting for them to /roll
*send it back to my mailbox if nobody needed it or something.
i like it.
Hum… While I agree with you that WoW should be more social and there are systems on the game that heavily discourage that, I don’t see this “whispering to ask for loot” as very social. To me any conversation that can be placed on a macro in advance is not social. It is just something players have to do due to a lack of interface.
No, what I’m saying is that a button should pop up when you win a tradable item offering you a convenient way to pass the item along when you don’t need it.
Greed is the same as pass, you wont win it over someone needing on it. If you win a greed roll just say thanks for the gold and move on.
I just greed what I don’t need. If it’s a new appearance I need. If it’s an upgrade, I need. Else, greed… if you want to pass on 100G or w/e the vendor price is, that’s on you.
I mean if they roll NEED on an item…asking them if they need it becomes redundant when the answer is in the rolling for the item.
This was fine in personal loot, but the pass is in not rolling otherwise it’s need or greed…I don’t understand the topic… The X on the box is the “pass”
It’s funny but I imagine people would still ask if they are going to pass anyways. I don’t think it solves anything. They will still whisper you then if they do now.
In a 5 man dungeon this would be great.
Asbit is to many tanks ate already half way to the new boss so no time to ask or look
Some will, some won’t. Some will offer rolls, others will trade to whoever whispers first, some will keep it just to vendor despite the gold impact being fairly negligible.
It kind of sucks, but the less barriers you put up for people the more likely they are to participate.
The topic is to add a pass button for personal loot. Right now there is no pass button or an X, you have to whisper the person since you have no way of knowing it the person needs the item or not.
Maybe, but after being denied lots of times they would probably stop.
The problem with “need” is that everyone has their own definition of what it is. Like the hunter who roles need on an item with strength on it, preventing a player where strength is a major factor in their combat strength from getting it.
Nope. If they didn’t say anything, the expectation is that they want to keep it. No need to ask. This is exactly why there were so many thread about those addon’s that spam people as soon as they get something.
No one should have to announce to the raid that “yes, I am going to keep this item that I rolled on and won.”
People should just accept that they lost the roll and hope for better luck on the next one.
In a dungeon, if the person doesn’t offer it, it’s because they did not want to offer it.
Then it becomes the hidden mini-game inside of WoW.
Yes… the international overnight hit…
AMONG US!
What would this do for all the folks who don’t loot their PL so nobody can ask for it?
the same as now. if they dont manually hit pass nothing happens.
its not about forcing ppl to give their stuff its about making it easy for those who want to.
