#Network Bidding

Network Bidding is a GUI based loot distribution method where raid members are given an auction window with a few choices. Their choices are sent back to the Master Looter grouped by player's choice and sorted by PR value and Votes. Master Looter will see what the player's current item is and the last item that player won.

Raid members have to install this addon.

I strongly recommend testing this before a raid to get a hang of it.

Main gui can be accessed via main Hub or by clicking with Right Mouse Button on the special button added to ML addon.


Possible choices:


With rev 122 Multi-ML configuration and voting are now a thing , still may be a bit unstable.


Step By Step Explaination

Make sure that both you and other players are on the same channel!

1.Item Drops

To begin Network Bidding, select the desired item then click the "Network Bidding" button beneath "Assign Loot".

2.GUI Appears

For each auction another tab is prepared so multiple auctions can be running at the same time. To start each bid, simply press "Start".

3.Auction starts

Now, addon sends to every raid member request to make choice whether they Need , Greed , Pass an item or they think that this is a slight upgrade.Upon making their mind the return message is sent back to ML.

4.Receiving responses

As soon as responses start flowing in, the window will populate with tiles containing players' choices, classes and name. Please note that the players have to be in the database. #

5.Selecting Tile

If you click on a tile the space to the right will populate with the player's PR, currently equipped item, and last item won. Now you can assign an item to the player.

6.Assigning

Once decided who will get this item, press the "assign" button under detailed info container. Now two things can happen: Either it will be sent to player or the ML window will popup with selected both item and player waiting to press "Assign" , depending on what you have opted for in [settings].


What if there is more than one person in charge of loot distribution?
Assistants who install the main addon will be able not only to take part in bidding but also vote for player who in their opinion should get the item.

Can be configured via wrench button that leads to the Network Bidding Settings
