no more need or greed in dungeons

with all respect to the need or greed system it has caused a lot of trouble and still is, so here is my suggestion to finish this and any "miss understanding or "errors" by pugs choosing need when all agreed on greed etc.
no more need or greed! the only option that will appear will be :"pass" icon
you dont want the item press pass and thats it
system will decide who will get the item.
i think its more fair and it will cause less arguments and miss understanding between pugs.
cryptic this post is for your consideration.

Fine by me. I'm only here for the DD chest.......
And add an Identify option before roll, ffs.

That would be round robin. Though AFAIK you can't switch loot rules in a dungeon.
All sound like legitimate uses for the item in question.....
No, no, and a thousand times no.
You dont see or even care what anyone else gets - no drama, no controversy - and no one has to stop what they're doing for
the non-stop loot roll popups.
THIS!
Cryptic does this in STO. It works this way in NW to a limited extant. The game sets aside seals from bosses and minor drops like potions. Just for you, that can only be picked up and seen by you.
Why they dont even offer it as an option, is just a mystery.
Alternatively they should just make the dd chest active at all times so everyone gets a loot. They can add chests at the mini bosses as well. They can manage the output by putting a more diverse set of loot rewards for the player. Perhaps all they get is a shard in the mini boss chest, perhaps they get an unbound purple item to sell, or perhaps the loot table is the same with the class specific armors being super rare during non DD events. During DD events, they can just populate the same chests with class specific bound items, or make the better items in the loot table more common. This then creates more incentive to run DDs during non dd events.
That's not how round robin loot works in Neverwinter (and you can't choose round robin in a dungeon).
Round robin loot in Neverwinter means when loot drops, at the time it drops, every person gets their own stuff which nobody else ever sees or knows about (unless you choose to trade class items). (This is pretty much as described for City of Heroes.)
I can actually see why it's disabled in dungeons, to give everyone a shot at rolling on the unique items.

And if someone is clearly abusing the system (ZOMG I NEED THAT FH MIDBOSS PURP DAGGER EVEN THOUGH I'M USING 2/2 ANCIENTS) then that's their problem, not yours. Ask them not to, then if they keep at it, add to ignore list, or (if you're really keen) kickvote.
The solution to loot ninjas is not to force everyone to become loot ninjas all the time. That's just horrible. I'd much prefer to simply accept that loot ninjas exist, and just try not to group with them again.
(and to be honest, even in pugs my experiences have been far more positive than negative...maybe I'm just happy-go-lucky?)
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that what he was asking for 100% fit round robin, but what he was asking for was essentially round robin which already exists in the game.
And if the group wants it to be round robin, I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to select it as the option.
Some people think it can work like this
Bob gets this green junk I picked up.
Mary gets that green junk I picked up.
Jane gets this random blue I don't care about either.
Now pick up the boss drop all for memememe YES!
But with round robin loot in Neverwinter, if you can see the thing on the ground, it's already yours.
I don't really have a problem with it being usable in epic dungeons, but I can see how some people would, since somebody would just be auto-assigned absolutely everything, and you'd never know what dropped or if it might have been something that you really did need.
Possibly this addition and an all-greed option could be added to dungeon loot rules. I don't know if it would be better if loot rules were voted on rather than leader decides, though the system notice of what your loot rules are set to should prevent any shady doings (I think).
