In other games auto loot means that when you kill a character every member of the group gets each item of loot so if there are five members in a group five items of loot are distributed. It is much easier not to have to click on the dead bodies and for the loot to automatically distribute. Since everyone gets the same loot there are no fights regardless of who is in the group. There is no ninja-ing of loot since this is impossible. The items appear in everyone's backpack in the group. Also it would be nice if all the quest related loot in the game dropped when you kill enemies, and not have to pick up the loot from the environment. if you insist on loot being picked up from the environment do this by walking over the loot and if one character accesses the loot all characters in the group automatically get the loot distributed to them.

In other games every item of loot is given to every character. Why can't SWOTR work this way? And yes in anticipation of your comments, I will go back to these other games where I can play the way I want to.
