Auto pick up is just stupid and not needed.

Most basic loot now automatically gets picked up by walking over it……This mean we will now have to keep tossing out junk that clutters inventory like when going to randumb Q and them boooger pickers keep grabbing the “green” gear that i end up getting then have to stop and discard because i have no room useless garbage.

You can spread out stacks of stuff like Platinum Bowls and make sure your inventory is always full until the end chest. Then you sort your inventory quickly, which makes space, and loot the end chest.
As for the RP value, 50 RP for green gear is comparatively a lot since they reduced the values of the gems a while back. When they did that, the value for green gear stayed the same, which effectively makes it an order of magnitude more valuable as RP than it was before.
Assuming that you either don't like or can't use either of my above suggestions, then I'm fresh out. Personally, I don't expect you to like or use the second one, especially. I wouldn't use it, even if I had a problem with inventory management (and I do on a few characters). The way I solve the problem on those characters is just to stop and do a "Identify All", then "Convert to RP" and select gear. Once that's done, I resume what I was doing. It's the fastest way to deal with the situation, and the majority of players are going to appreciate the auto-pickup (including me).
50 * 20 = 1000 for more or less no effort.
Buy more bank space.
I mean, you might have to stop for a few seconds to make room in your inventory? The horror.
Some people need those items, or at least they want them, and their wants are no less important than yours, so if you win some "useless garbage" then deal with it.
I imagine offering to give it to a lower-level player in the group would earn you some thanks and general goodwill, but you probably consider that to be "useless garbage" too, and wouldn't consider wasting any of your oh so precious time helping someone else out.
i -> gear -> id all -> gear -> convert RP -> choose convertible equipment -> refine -> finish
If you do as many times as I have been, it will take less than 5 seconds.
It's not for everyone (and only for PC) and setting it up requires some reading and understanding, but a good primer is here by @dupeks.
There is a multi-function command which allows you to identify all unidentified gear in your inventory:
suspendForcedMouselookAndStopMoving 0 $$ inventory $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Identifyall clicked
Then there is another multi-function command which allows you to bring up the refinement menu:
suspendForcedMouselookAndStopMoving 0 $$ inventory $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Refinebulksalvage clicked
Now if you combine the two, you have a multi-function command that does BOTH together (ID+refine):
suspendForcedMouselookAndStopMoving 0 $$ inventory $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Identifyall clicked $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Refinebulksalvage clicked
(Note: If you want to run the multi-function commands above to try it in-game, remember to place a "/" before it in the chat tab)
With aliases, I put in my text file:
alias u "suspendForcedMouselookAndStopMoving 0 $$ inventory $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Identifyall clicked $$ gensendmessage Inventoryoption_Refinebulksalvage clicked"
Whenever I type in /u in chat, it runs the multi-function command within the brackets.
Now, in the same .txt file, I bind "alt-u" to "u", which means that whenever I press "alt-u" it runs the multi-function command to ID all unidentified gear and bring up the menu (to allow me to choose to refine all gear in my inventory via the drop-down menu).
So basically, as it is, I loot all green gear, then press alt-u, and it saves me a lot of time and pressing multiple buttons. Converting gear to refinement will be so simple for me with the autoloot feature now.
Still, auto-loot should be an option to be toggled on/off if it isn't already, as it won't be as easy for console players or those that do not use console commands/keybinds/aliases.
You are probably running ahead of them anyway, or you can catch up quickly since at least one of them will likely be at-level of whatever dungeon you are running and thus will naturally be slower.
This isn't difficult and it isn't a problem.
Anyone running around with their bank full and packs nearly full when they start a dungeon run needs to buy more space, not complain that other people are picking stuff up.
All I hear here is "I have gold and AD and refinement points stockpiled and don't like what the peasants are doing to try and build those things up for themselves".
That doesn't mean I won't get some low level rare (blue) items that I don't consider worth buying an ID scroll for, but if I do have an ID scroll for that item I'll use it and usually post it on the AH for a dirt cheap price to try to help out lower level players. Early on in the game I learned one of the best investments I made was for the merchant artifact, ("Auroa's Whole Realms Catalogue") so I'd be able to buy healing potions, injury kits and skill kits anywhere - and sell junk that was cluttering up my inventory... But personally I think they should make this a special function instead of something that takes up an artifact space, but it is what it is.
It would be different if they gave us one or two more bags slots on our character to go along with the change. But right now this is just going to waste a lot of my time clearing out inventory.
The problem for me is I am a hoarder of armor. I have kept every armor set I've ever gotten since beginning in this game. some of the sets I have two of just in case down the line I'd like to transmute. Which means my bank is maxed out and the game does not allow me to buy more slots. I carry a lot of gear/potions/clickables/mod items/etc.
On my character I have one runic bag that is available for looting/questing, half that is taken up by RP drops. Before I could choose to pick things up or not, now I'll be spending way more time "clearing" the bag as I go.
If this game had a proper transmute system my bag space issues would be solved!
I have a character for enchantment, a character for transmute, for potion, for mounts, for artifact, for companion, multiple characters for RPs, .....
That does not help you if what you hoard are character bound stuff.
if its a level 70 -- its 50 rp
Been playing since open beta and never once did i wish items '' other than rp stones' would just go right to inv. It is just so easy to pick stuff up yet harder and more time consuming and annoying to open inv ever 2 mins to deal with stuff i do not want or need. There are way better ways to gather gold and RP than from them items and it is like the devs want to force feed us cgicken scraps rather than let us find the best options to get gold and rp because auto pickup is far far from it
