What do you think of the new info in the system Info Window.
1. We now have info letting the team know when a team member loots and what they looted.
2. We also get info on what someone in your team crafts.
For me, I like #1 but #2 is info I don't need to see.

Umm no, i can do without this particualr info thank you. On boss hunts I trust my team members to tell me what the boss dropped and to spread it out evenly.

I like the idea but I think it's a bit ott in it's present form. As stated, who gives a crap about sap crystals etc.

I don't see how the crafting bit would matter at all... feels invasive more than anything

. As for showing loot, it makes sense, but only in boss/named situations... seeing that normal hunts usually involve assigned looters to keep things running smoothly anyway makes for a lot of unnecessary info.

I dont have a problem with it.
Lowbies can benefit from the loot message on normal grind hunts, - remembering back to some of the player created looting systems, this does lack artistry and style, but having information available is not a bad thing. As always, if you have it you can choose to disregard it or not - but if you dont have it...

I voted no as it is now. Why you want info on looting? Ninja looting is not possible in game except from other team mates. Who in team would really ninja looting? I never seen.
Anyway, loot messages still can be useful, all other messages are just useless SPAM.
About Sap crystals: made me laugh and laugh reading the messages from members that were actually in another continent!! What is the point of these messages? I can't get it, sorry.
And better not to mention the 'leave combat' and 'attack' messages that now are totally screwed.

Crafting infos are not really needed although I don't exactly intrusive as someone said. On the other hand the loot infos are a very good way to avoid what we could witness during the tryker eradicator hunts (someone running away with the whole loot) which was painful...

Anyway, the more infos the better

I think both messages are worth.
First, most of newbie expect to see a message like this just because every other MMO do it.
Second, I know this community is fine and mature and whatever but, I feel better now that I know who is looting what.
The crafting message is also usefull for the same reasons (ie: most MMO do it and now I know that you have crafted something for me and I know if the crafting action was a partially success/complete success).
Crafting messages can become spam only if you are teamed with a guy who's crafting tons of items just to level up and in this case, there's no reason to be in team with him.
In the end, i'm positive for both messages
