Don't touch my loot!

Why the green items I pick up are rolled up for the party?
I wouldn't mind it, but the problem is that most peeps just zerg to to end and ignore what drops on the ground.
So it's unfair when I take my time to pick up the stuff and that stuff I don't receive.
I don't care about kill count, but I do like to loot stuff.
Anyway, what's the point for this rolling thing?
1) Previously it was manual rolls and I hated that since rolling for every single green item was so stupid.
2) Now we have autorolls, seems better, but it's even worse (as explained above).
3) The best solution would be no rolls at all (at last for the green trash items), the one who isn't lazy to pick it up should have it (the most valuable stuff never drops on the ground anyway, I mean it drops in chests, buy with seals, etc.).
4) Ok, in case of a rare item/important item drops then make a roll (either manual or auto, it doesn't really matter since it won't happen too often).

In non random groups I always ask to fix this (in case someone set it to green).
But consider your statement "the most valuable stuff never drops on the ground anyway", so what does it matter if someone else ends up with "your" low value green stuff?
We're kind of in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation if our only options are these two. Someone is going to be unhappy.
Since Greens are now party loot on random groups, you have a chance at everything that drops, not just what dropped for you. Eventually, people should learn to manage their loot settings, meaning those that don't loot won't be rolling anyway.
I agree with the OP and have already started a thread similar to this one. The cause of my original thread was me being told off by others for filling their bags with HAMSTER. I wanted the greens yet RNG wasn't in my favor. GL telling someone like that to adjust their loot settings while in a 3 man dungeon. Then your filling their bags and holding them up from finishing the run...
Someone above mentioned setting your loot settings to blue. If you do that you get no greens. You'll roll a 0 everytime.
While you are clicking green stuff, they are killing the monsters that cause the green stuff to appear.
It's not your loot, it's the party's loot, and if it's loot that your character can use then you get to roll need.
I like to pick up all the loot, too, but it's not "my loot". It belongs to the party as a whole until the roll is made.
What ends up in my inventory is "my loot" and nothing else.
=============
The one thing that I think I would like would be to keep all of the dungeons open after the last room and leave the treasure lying.
That way everyone could run through the dungeon as fast as they can if they have anyone wants to do a speed run, but the players that wanted to could go back after the final boss is defeated and collect the loot that was left lying around as well as possibly fighting bonus bosses, unlocking secret areas, and/or collecting journal entries.
I end up with items I do not want to use.
If I want the green items I will go and find a proper place to farm them, not needing them in little random dungeons at all.
Pretty sure that only 1% of people collect them anyway, the rest are bots.
1) The autoroll should kick in BEFORE showing items on the ground
2) So, if I wasn't lucky in autoroll then I shouldn't see those items on the ground and just move on
3) But if I see green/blue item and take my time to loot it then it should be mine
For those who worried about stopping party: don't worry, I loot fast and move fast (I don't loot if I see that it would stop party).
Sometimes I do runs on my bank toons (since they have invoke bonus for AD), but they have too small inventory to pick up anything, so I don't pick up anything on them at all (current system is really annoying, because now I have to spend additional time to get rid of overflow stuff on those toons).
With your bank toons, I would make sure to set your personal threshold to Epic as that should avoid the majority of the loot rolls.
I like the new autoroll feature, but it does fill inventory. Sometimes quickly. I can certainly understand why some players don't want or need low level loot. And I don't want my dungeon janitorial habits to impact other player negatively.
Perhaps what we need is an individual filter, something simple and easily adjustable that lets a player choose what loot he will accept from an autoroll. A want/don't want list for party autorolls.
A simple filter might look like this:
[ ] treasure [ ] don't want treasure.
[ ] want white loot. [ ] don't want white loot.
[ ] want green loot. [ ] don't want green loot.
[ ] want blue loot. [ ] don't want blue loot.
Are there purple drops that are autorolled. I can't think of one right now. And a more complicated filter could include the difference gemstone and arms/armor.
A simple click and the player is excluded, by choice, from the autoroll. Make the filter easy to adjust (campfire or not in combat) and now the player is in control of what goes in his inventory.
Obviously this wouldn't have any effect on drops the player clicked, which would bypass the filter. It also wouldn't affect loot gained by mission completion or from a chest. This is just about what, and who, is affected by the auto loot feature.
Simple and would fix, I think, some complaints about this new feature.
The rarity filter does exist. You can open up the loot mode window and choose your personal threshold.
Idk if this is a bug or wai, I only know how it presently works in RQs.
My mistake.
But I learned something new and it makes me like the autoroll feature even more. If it currently works as ilithyn said above, I hope it gets fixed.
