98 - Looter Out of Range for Tracking

Many times, if the raid moves on after killing a boss, the loot recepient will be out of range for the ML to see him actually receiving the item. In that case the addon will have no record of this guy getting any loot.

My suggestion is to make a function available that other addons can use, to manually add an item to the raid. This function should make sure that it doesnt double record the item dropping if the recepient is actually in range. MasterLooter addons like XLootMaster could then make a call to that function whenever an item is assigned to make sure that it will get logged.

What we actually do to counter this problem is let everyone who intends on bidding on an item that dropped stay at the boss (they can't focus anyway) and the rest continues clearing.

If someone is not near the boss anymore but still bids and thus is out of range we warn them. We haven't had to take action thus far most people have gotten used to doing it this way.

There is a manually add item to a raid function. /hc loot add (or something like that with other information required also).
