what is the name of this addon pls?
Some of you are clearly stuck in a bubble obviously. Almost every MMO I have played thus far has had this as a built-in in the game itself. When you group up everything a person in your group is automatically shown. Rift has it, WoW has it, Swtor has it, PWI has it, FW has it (just to name a few).[/b]
And I use one of these Loot addons in this game myself, because it makes my game play a lot easier on me.
Ofc I only group up with the person whom turned me on to this game, so my use of the addon is not a big thing between the 2 of us.
I use it because it is a convenience item for me.
I have bad eye sight. So i use a Minimap addon (which allows me to resize the minimap to where I can see where I am going),and I use a Quest Tracker addon because I can see it better than the built in one.
Both of these are QoL convenience items for me.
I play this game with Physical Disabilities. I use my number pad for all my skills and my arrow keys to move with. I don't like that I have to play this way, but its how I have to live. I deal with it.
But asking to have an addon banned/removed just because you don't know how to say No or how to add someone to your Ignore List is Discriminating to people like me who play this game with disabilities and use these addons to help make the game easier to play.
Just remove "other players". Problem(s) solved.

That's irrelevant because the feature that allows players to trade personal loot with other group members is new.
That's why you weren't hounded for items before.
Much was not bound before in trials.
This isn't that big a deal. If your running with guildies, you get a drop you don't need and they can use it why not help them. If you do not want to hell just ignore their request.
This screams of;
I play a multi player game, I want this to be solo, don't make me subject to those around me.
I honestly do not understand how this effects someones game.

I don't think most of the people who've had problems have been running with guildies. Even if you are, or with PUGs, is there some reason why "LF X pieces" is too hard? It's not impossible and most people I run with do it... this is on PC mind you but it's an MMO, and chat is there for a reason.
All Show Other Player's Loot does is allow you to see things before group members link them, which gives you "an edge". This isn't some gamebreaking QoL feature people can't live without... it's not your loot. You don't need to see something that isn't yours yet, even if you can trade for it now. Whether or not that information is shared should be up to the player who got it.This screams of;

You don't understand how running a Trial/Dungeon and suddenly getting whispers of "Give me that piece!" out of nowhere negatively effects someone's game?
And more importantly, what if you get random whispers from newbs, like "craft me this" or "are you a vamp? Can you bite me?" It shouldnt be a problem to just say "no" if you dont wanna do something.
Yesterday I did a trial with my guild and was asked for an item I havent noticed. It had a good trait, but for me it was absolutely useless so I gave it away. If not for the addon, I wouldve just deconstructed it.
I have a lot of stuff in my inventory so checking everything is pretty annoying and I'm not always paying attention to drops. So for me its a very convenient addon.
Actually people do whisper randomly.Transairion wrote: »And more importantly, what if you get random whispers from newbs, like "craft me this" or "are you a vamp? Can you bite me?" It shouldnt be a problem to just say "no" if you dont wanna do something.
Unless I go about shouting in zone chat that I'm a Vampire, or a Master Crafter no, no-one whispers other people "randomly" for that kind of thing. The addon that lets you see other players loot is not random, it literally tells you their loot so you can target whoever got whatever item you wanted and message/whisper them specifically asking for it.
Now if there's an addon that tells me if another player is a Master Crafter or not, that'd be comparable.Yesterday I did a trial with my guild and was asked for an item I havent noticed.

Yes yes, it's not a problem in guilds because guilds tend to be civil... what about the rest of us dealing with PUG groups? As already said the quality of player interaction has gone way down since Hist dropped and BoP loot trading became a thing.

Imo, caring about what a random stranger might say is extremely insecure. I mean, no one can harm you in game, and theres a blacklist feature, and of course, no one can take your items from you. And if you have serious issues with that (Im not even sarcastic right now, it does sound like an issue), it might be better to play with trusted friends. Because being bashed for dps/heals/tanking/your role/your race/many other things in pugs is more likely than getting a maniacal stalker because of some lucky item drop. There's like a 0,5% chance to get those BiS items to begin with (no one wants Vicious pieces with non-divine trait even from free even in pugs, I tell ya), then there's a very low chance to meet a person who would potentially go nuts because you got it, then theres a chance if they are actually running this addon, then there's a chance if they actually need this item... Expecting it to happen often is either very insecure, or outright paranoid

From the addon? Most addons only DO show personal loot, only a handful have the option other player's loot.
One certain addon does nothing but show other player loot so yes, that addon would cease to exist.
And your impression condone be further from reality in the game.
Warlock rings sold for 100k+ on NA server even when we were v14 and the rings were v12. They have always been BoE. They were the more sought after set but Slks of the sun and some others would sell for a bit.
I'll put it this way, I don't take you seriously. Either your merely getting a laugh out of this thread or you are a selfish introvert that should stick with single player games.
But hey, your comments are humorous in the extreme they go trying to justify such a weak and make claim.
That was just sarcasm. I wonder why people play MMOs (there are excellent single player or coop games out there), if they always expect the worst of any kind of interaction in game.

Patronizing people gets your nowhere.
I've gone from getting 0 whispers during Trials to 7+ instances in the week that Hist dropped of people wanting/demanding certain drops: this isn't an isolated incident either as other people have said the same. That's a big jump from not even knowing about it's existence to getting bombarded with tells while grouped.
Make of that what you will, but I think it's pretty rubbish there was a big outcry about "Group Damage" addon letting people screen DPS numbers and that got removed, but seeing other people's loot as soon as it drops is somehow okay. Neither at all a requirement for your gameplay, and to be honest someone else's loot doesn't affect you to begin with.
Why defend something that encourages anti-social behavior?

You don't understand how running a Trial/Dungeon and suddenly getting whispers of "Give me that piece!" out of nowhere negatively effects someone's game? At the very least if you got a desirable bound piece before and you didn't share it, you didn't get whispered over it.

@Transairion ...are you one of those people who thinks someone saying 'Hello' to you at the office is sexual harassment?
People. Please let this thread did. Can you not see what OP is doing. Let the thread fall away into oblivion
Oh and another simple question: why are you afraid of saying "no" if you dont wanna do something?
Always expecting the wost and assuming that all people are evil *** that will kill your family for loot is quite anti-social I must say.
Youre getting whispers simply because trading feature was added just recently.
And speaking of rude people, what prevents them from bullying without that addon? You didnt post your loot and didnt offer it, then its enough for this kind of people youre describing. They would assume youve gotten all the best drops and hiding them.
Please give me an answer to one very simple question: why cant you just tell your trial group that youre not sharing anything, even prosperous ice staff of alcosh?

Given you've got nothing constructive to add other than "you're wrong!", if you're trying to kill the topic why do you keep replying constantly?
