Activate loot interface via hotkey

[-Leaf-]

Really simple suggestion.

 

Have a hotkey activate the loot interface when pressed (and make it persistent instead of disappearing if you move), or alternately Ctrl-click a loot pile in order to activate the interface.

The idea is to be able to use both the fast, old looting system and the area looting at the same time without needing to get out of combat to change settings.

 

I was going to suggest this in the beta but they released prematurely... now this probably won't see the light of day for months if at all

I agree, and this was sadly released prematurely as well. Just like the entire EOC :(.

Don't forget Legacy, which was beta tested to near perfection... then slammed with a day 1 nerf that completely ruined it, making me wonder why they bothered to do a beta in the first place

I really like this idea. is the new loot interface an AoE one already? Or would this be feasible for areas where you kill multiple instantly such as dagganoth?

 

(Or am I releasing my inner noob for admitting to slaying them in the lighthouse still?)

You can set it to be AoE, yes, not sure if it's default. But for dagganoth I'm pretty sure they don't drop anything of worth to begin with :P I slay them in the lighthouse but that's because I'm a scrub who can't do dagganoth kings effectively. Seeing as slayer helm damage bonuses should extend to the dks unless you really hate fighting them they're probably going to be better to do for a dagannoth task.

The recent patch almost does this, but still requires 2 clicks to loot stuff so could still use improvement

You have my support, and my blessing

Yes, you can add a keybind to open the interface.  Open Customize-Keybind (easiest way is to right click a slot on the action bar), then scroll all the way to the bottom and last option on action bar is Area Loot, keybind whatever key you want.  When you press that key, the area loot interface pops up.
