looting by not looting; relying on the Postmaster- is it viable?

For me, I’ve gone the Loot-a-rang method on every character. . I bind it to the same hot key on each character and hit it after every pack of mobs dies. Yes, you’re giving up a trade skill slot on each character, but I’m an alt-whore and have more than enough characters to cover each trade skill 10-fold.

thanks for replys.. side note I am coming back to 5boxing after a ten year break where I just single played WoW. I am coming back to 5 box classic and by my tests in retail I spend too much time IWT aoe looting. I know its because of the heirlooms I cant seem to play without but "speed running" 5 man dungeons for gold might be faster if I never stopped to loot. Using lootarangs with aoe looting is brilliant solution but classic gives up aoe looting. Thank you

Same here. Although my Hunters can just use Fetch, and have mining/herbing.

I do believe that the raw gold from looting does not make it to the postmaster. He must skim that off the top for his finders fee.

I'd recommend looting what you can, but not sweating missing anything, as the super valuable stuff will make its way to you.
