That is a brilliant idea, and I honestly love it. Those messages should be
in group say, not plain say imo.

Verant will probably never do it. They rightly feel that building the trust
amongst players is important. You have to get to know others well enough to
group with them and trust them to tell you what loot is, which necessitates
long-term grouping relationships, which is a positive thing. If you put
these messages in then you diminish the necessary trust relationships
between players and somewhat diminish to need for long-term relationships.

But Verant continually surprises me both positively and negatively.
