To have the loot in your hands and say bugger off I don’t wanna trade to a pushy guild and /gquit is far better then never to have the loot in your hands ever to begin with.
I say sure, make loot tradeable, without war/titanforging/corruption it no longer has a huge variable swing. At most it will be a few item level upgrade…it’s no longer anything to pitch a fit over anymore.
That’s the whole point of this post and why lifting restrictions is fine. Whether you can trade upgrades or not, the person on the other end can’t click “Accept trade” for you.
They have ways to bypass this. There’s a lot of videos explaining how they go about it, but they still are able to funnel with efficiency.
I’ve come to like personal loot. I just wish they’d remove the restrictions on higher i-level loot so I actually DO have a say in what I do with my loot.
Bottom line: if a guild is trying to make you do something that you don’t want to do or is mistreating you in any way… then leave. Even solo play is better than sticking around to be abused.
Unless you’re a sadist. No kink shaming here.
This, combined with freedom of trade for loot, would be an amazing compromise.
If nobody can see it, nobody would even know they’re missing out - putting that agency in your hands, in the ability to link your loot and offer it up for trade, would be fantastic.
Heck, even with the current system, I’ve had people get crappy at me for keeping what looked like, on the outside, an ilevel downgrade… Would much rather they couldn’t see it drop at all, unless I linked it.
I just think it’s fun see all the stuff people got. Adds to the rewarding feeling of downing the boss imo.
It basically f̶i̶x̶e̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶ IS master looter
Except for the part where everyone gets their loot handed directly to them before deciding to trade it or not
And functionally, that’s the same thing. Because RClootcouncil exists.
When I get time, I’m going to just fork their code and replace the report function to kill that addon.
You can’t stop the signal Mal.
No, because you have to choose to give it up.
Never used it, but I imagine if this is something a guild insisted on and you didn’t want to, you could just leave.
Yea, got ahead of myself. If the loot is seen only by the player that gets it, I’ll do this 
That’s true, thanks Dratnos!
You might be hard pressed to find many mythic guilds that don’t use it right now. You can’t avoid something that is everywhere.
Pretty safe to say most of the playerbase isn’t in mythic guilds
Guild’s can trade most loot now. But I find they give up trying and just let the guild trade with each other. But they still will fight to their last breath in a bring ML back thread. It’s funny they have MOST of the power now, but they can’t be happy unless they have all the power back. Once they have that they won’t be happy until the original system is restored, they will claim it’s easier and there is less trading needed. /sigh
It’s not exactly crazy to want to be able to trade loot that may be a higher ilevel for a slot but is a downgrade or a much bigger upgrade for a teammate
And how should the game know if whatever drops is an upgrade if we don’t use pure ilvl to differentiate between item a and item b?
I do agree with removing the trade restrictions. I just forsee those who won’t rest until they go further then that.
The game shouldn’t decide, the player should.
Everyone reasonable in these conversations would be perfectly happy with that compromise.
