Is there a way to set advanced loot basically on autopilot in a group so that you don't have to interact at all and it just rolls?
Yes. Choose how you want the loot set for yourself in the checkboxes up top, need, greed, never etc. then use the drop down menu and set to autoask/roll. You will still get the advloot window popping when a new item *to you* drops, so you can assign need/greed etc for yourself, and you click autoask/roll again. After you've played long enough you'll rarely see the loot window pop up except for rare drops. Alternatively, you can just keep it minimized and in a corner.
Thanks! I am so sick of that window that I almost ragequit in GD with those rapidly respawning Coldain. The part that gets me the most is it will pop up more than once, even though nothing new has been killed!
