Please make leader-only-loot-assignment clearer.

<p>Please make the process of a leader-only-loot-assignment of an item out of a chest into somebody's inventory clearer.</p><p>Before any item leaves the chest into any inventory, please give the assigning leader a clearer confirmation box (for each item or stack of item separately).</p><p>Such as:</p><p>Do you want to assign the item to ?</p><p>The current confirmation box is quite irritating and has led to wrong item assignments. I've experienced myself a serveral times as a leader that I have marked the item, chosen the group member and nevertheless the item went into my own inventory. It may also be due to an irritating translation of the confirmation box. You have marked item and player and confirm the text box with . Shall the item be looted? bam - wrong inventory and too late.</p><p>So please make the confirmation box clear: Assign to ? - yes/no</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Additional question:</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why must a GM refuse to transfer an item to a person who hasn't taken part in killing the mob?

Why isn't this option greyed out then while a GM is not allowed to perform this?</p><p>That logic isn't very consistent.</p><p>When you have assigned an item accidently to the wrong person who has taken part in the kill, you can have that item be transferred by a GM.

We've had several occasions in raid where the looter will assign an item but, because of the way assignment's handled, end up trying to hand all the items to the person rather than just the one intended. Most of us are paranoid, double-check the confirmation boxes for what we're to loot and decline the items we aren't supposed to get, but I can see the potential for problems if someone's careless let alone malicious.</p><p>For the second, I think it's a matter of the GM not being the raid leader. At looting the raid leader's got a lot of discretion about what he does with items. After the fact, the GM has to rely on the server logs to determine who had the right to do what. If person X wasn't in on the kill, the server logs don't show him having any right to the loot (he wasn't there when the chest dropped) and the GM can't transfer an item unless he can confirm the person receiving it has the right to get it. At a minimum, you'd need verifiable-by-the-GM confirmation from the person who has the item and the raid leader or designated looter that the transfer is being requested <em>and</em> from everyone else in the raid that they're OK with the transfer. And even then I think the GM'd refuse as a matter of policy. I suspect it's a not-so-subtle way to discourage selling of loot rights: they don't want to outright ban it because any way of enforcing that kind of ban would be a technical and support nightmare, but they aren't going to help people do it.</p>
