GtBidder
What is GtBidder?
It's an add-on that works closely with the ML loot addon ( aka GtLoot ). It's used for stuff related to the GT loot system and processing loot within it.
What does it do for you?
For you, it enables you to quickly (as quick as a mouse click) place bids on loot. It saves you from having to know how to send bid tells, how they are formatted and "oh poor me I sent the wrong tell" cases. It also provides you with all the up-to date info about your priority numbers and lust/want bid restrictions as well as the ability to view it for everyone else in the raid. On top of that it will show you lists of people who are higher than you on priority. By doing this it pretty much makes it so you'd never need to go to the website to look up priority data (during a raid at least).
What does it do for the raid?
The goal is for everyone to start using the addon. Having all bids submitted in the shortest period of time means the ML can give away items as soon as everyone responds. It also greatly decreases the ML stress by not having to do 100 things at ones during loot (as trying to look up valid tells within all the bid tell spams, asking around if anyone is still thinking, etc. all while replying to questions and other ML or RL stuff). Additionally there are future features that can be done to increase loot handling speed even further which cannot be done if not everyone is using the addon (for example making it so people don't have to stand by the corpse is one of those things). Any other helpful features will also be added only to the addon.
How do I get it?
Now what?
There will be a new dice icon on the minimap. Left click on it to see the UI (works only in a raid zone).
Anything else I need to know?
Giving the ability to the ML to know the moment everyone has placed a bid (or passed) means as soon as the last response comes in, the ML can close bids for the item and give it away. What this means is that you might not get a chance to correct your bid so make sure you are bidding the right thing before you send it.
The addon will auto pass and not show items which you can't use (i.e. plate gear for mages) by default. The items can still be revealed though if you decide to bid on them anyway or the whole feature is configurable if you don't want the addon to pass and/or hide items.
Is there anything you are not telling me?
Probably. Check here for updates.
