An 'Elegant' problem to trash.

I dont know if everybody has the same problem as me (or if I'm doing things wrong) but every time I go to an STF or any other group activity with alot of 'drops' (hell it even happens in featured episodes) - all the 'special drops' have a 'spcecial' glow - that is not reflected in the 'selection screen'.

When you see 5-10 drops close together - and you only want the 'special' how hard would it be to apply the 'special colour' to the item highlight?

So for instance there is 10 drops 1 of them is a blue, you stand next to the blue but you still dont know which one is the correct one to select.

Could we convey the special colour (blue or green) to the 'popup' that we see on our screen in order to ignore white trash junk we dont want?

Like I said I dont know if there is already an option or work around this but at the moment even when I stand next to a 'blue' I still have to click through half a dozen white items - if the blue/green was auto highlighted it would save alot of trouble.

Hope that makes sense!

    I see your point op. I've been there before when I've had to have my inventory open recycling white items to make soom for better loot. Often I'm happy to do so (hey its all good ec right?) but sometimes one just doesn't have the time or inclination to pick up a load of batteries or varying types to get to something more lucrative like a deflector or some such item in the list of popups.
    Having a slight color variation to the popups would be a nice little feature, though I won't lose any sleep over things being the way they are now.

    Yeah, mark me up in the its-a-nice-feature-to-have-but-not-dealbreaking camp.
