Loot Roll System!

Ok so for some time now, I've really thought this game was lacking some kind of "loot" system that was better than "Who's the quickest" & "Who got best latency".
I saw another thread concerning the current loot system, and some points in there that went against the current system, is the well known EP situation, where
people simply stop attacking, and start to spam on where items drop. I've come up with a simply suggestion to fix this, which is something most mmorpg systems
already use, and it works wonderfully.

The idea itself, is a simple roll if need system, based on a simple random script doing 1-100, and highest roller wins. We all know it, and for those few who
doesn't, please read on. Below I've added a picture I made, of how it could look, but also for me to easier explain.

As you can see on the picture, when an item drop, a set of "dices" will be shown next to the item, the player will "funny enough" click on the dice, NEXT to the
item he/she is interested in, the system will then run a small script that randomly picks a number between 1 & 100. [Example] Say out of 5 players, there are 3 who
roll's on the same item, we will call them player A, B & yea you guessed it, C. All 3 roll on the same item, player A rolls 33, Player B rolls 12
and player C rolls 85, this means player C wins, and the item will automatically be inserted into player C's inventory. If you win, the box where the dices were
will turn GREEN, and if you lose the box will turn RED.

I understand some would be against a system like this (Why I'd never understand), cause after many hours of slashing, they've gain an enourmous index loot
finger, from hard loot training, but let's face it, the current system aint exactly "fair" since not all are just as fast, and not all got equal latency. again this is just an
suggestion, some will hopefully like it, and I'm sure some will be against it. Anyway throw your thoughts on the idea, likes/dislikes if ya will.

Totally against this idea. Drops are FFA, and should remain so

And Cata's would run so slow that molasses in January would seem like a speeding train

yes but only for eps or chests  all items would be worthless. shoul dhave a pass button or a timer if you dont click on it u pass etc etc.

or have an otpin for an auto roll on items

a system like this will turn getting items into pure luck the system you offer is based off rolling dice which is nothing but luck i prefer the current system
