Ah, let the flaming begin. First of all, everytime I join a group/raid,

sounds good to me.

If I was group leader and
you did it more than once, I would kick you off my group. The reason? An
extra window appears at the middle of the screen, which :

a) Hides my heal bar (not everyone uses auto-cancel mods) 


Move your heal bar to another place, if its so important to you, which
it is, in fact not.



It is the most important thing as a healer, if you want to conserve
mana. And as a druid, you DO want to conserve mana. You claim to have a
tank, so since I won't tell you how to play your tank don't tell me how
to play my healer.

i actually play both classes, a tank a healer and a hybrid of the 2 (warrior, priest and druid), so please dont take it personally when i say: "healers are slackers!" its my own experience, your milestone may vary.

b) Restricts my view of the battle 

I hope you never have to install CTRAID assist or attend raids where you
have to have them installed, if such a tiny loot window already
distracts your view ;)



It doesnt restrict it by taking up space on my screen (and yes, I do
have ctra), it restricts it by having a popup window appearing out of
nowhere, which is the most annoying thing I can have on my screen.

ah ok then im sure, you are going to forfeit all the pop-up functions ctraid assist has to offer.

c) Forces me and everyone else to look at the item and roll/pass/decide
who gets it. In Scarlet Monastery this is not a problem, do it in DM
West and you'll be dead before you read the item description.



Never happened to me. I main-tank bosses while comparing items and
chatting silly stuff.
Optionally you could still chosse to wait until the fight is over, to do
the loot talk, you are given plenty of time to do so.



Oh, I am sorry I do not have the concentration or lee7ness (or however
it is written) of your tank, but I find it quite a lot of work when
healing, and I like to do it properly. Then again, what exactly is your
problem with looting while resting after the fight?

as i already said, i have no problems with looting after combat if this is the groups consense. however, i do have problems with people trying to make a _law_ out of their personal opinions, which ar in fact only subjective, and go in all caps "DONT LOOT IN COMBAT" trying to be "teh 1337 enforcr of rulez or else im gonna kickxxor you ffs!

relax man :)
