I'd say it was a blessing because if they are like that things would of only got worse. It is personal loot and what someone decides to with it personally is up to them. Be use it for an off spec, disenchanting it( have you seen the prices for enchants and enchanting mats? I call using it for that an upgrade), Sell it or whatever it is that persons choice.
Why would anyone want such add-on? Its useless. Person who won the loot is the only one who should decide if he wants to trade loot. He can see it himself without any add-on.
The only purpose of using such add-on is to be a jerk.
I installed the addon thinking it would help, watched as several groups in a row tore each other apart over who needed what and promptly disabled it. Making personal loot tradeable was a mistake.
Definitely not what happened for me. First group two leather wearers tore into the monk healer for not giving up boots. Second group hunter demanded offspec trinket for ilvl boost. Third group was me getting cussed out for not giving up an 850 with better secondaries. I know my own stat weights and upgrades, and I've got three people calling me "faggot" and "bitch" and telling me what I don't need.
Some good ideas in here. I usually offer it. Now I'm going to wait until the the end of the run. And if they are cool/polite I'll give it. If they piss me off I'll de it Infront of them. Chaos Crystals are not cheap.
self entitlement is going to be the end of humanity...
When I was gearing up if I saw something that would be an upgrade for me, I'd ask the person if I could have it if they didn't need it. Plenty of people said yes, others said no which is fine. Likewise I was happy to return the favour. Eventually I started seeing people ask in pugs if people needed a certain item proactively.
Getting kicked for not trading gear is low, but that's a community problem. I've had plenty of good experiences where people are very generous about sharing their gear with others and no bad ones (yet).
New addon helps cancerous people be more cancerous.

OK, responses to my post... I kinda missed the fact that it was personal loot. In this case yea, fuck them in the ass.
I think blizzard will remove loot trading for non guild groups if the toxicity persists

Don't run LFG/R unless you're willing to be kicked for no reason at all.
It's just a rule of life I learned back in Cata.

The addon is fine, the problem is jerky people. I would use it myself to offer an item to other players, or to politely ask them if they minded giving me a main-spec upgrade.
