Behavior has been tweaked. Original behavior everything was controlled by the loot master. This means if your character configurations didn't match, then characters could still end up with unwanted items.
Now loot rules are checked per character. Here's an example:
Say if you wanted only one toon to loot tradeskill items. You could put a condition for Tradeskill items in a rule and specify that character name in a list like:
{
["name"] = "Tradeskill",
["setting"] = "Keep",
["list"] = "MyCharacterName",
}
This means that this behavior would only work if this rule is set on the lootmaster. However, now you could forgo that rule on the lootmaster, and place it on MyCharacterName. Like so:
{
["name"] = "Tradeskill",
["setting"] = "Keep",
}
This means no matter what group MyCharacterName is in, they will always be given tradeskill items.
Of course you can still do it the 1st way. This just gives you more options.
