Yeah, it's fairly irritating to read the text window when you kill monsters. Trading is also slightly cumbersome due to the fact that it doesn't specify how many things you traded over.

Something I noticed: when trading, the item color shows. (blue/white/gold...) So why didn't Anet implement this for combat? I think it'd be helpful to see what you get when you kill stuff and so you don't lose your green drop just as you kill Tanzit, he drops 4 things, and the HoH message comes up.

So I present:


Notes:
  • Money drops are shown. I'd like this to happen; many times I'd walk away, flip my camera, and hit alt, only to find that I left cash on the ground.
  • The colors of items are immediately apparent when a monster drops something. This may encourage a lot of "lolz wut u get" but no one says you have to ID during the instance. And it sure beats "...drops a rare Thing, which your party assigns for..." due to the lack of such notification on blues and purples
  • Trading shows item colors and money transferred as usual. Now it should also say the number of items transferred, e.g., 12 parchment. I botched up with the parchment; it should be in white.
  • Henchman drops aren't shown, I was just kidding with that one.

Thoughts/comments?

Huh?
I dont see what jealousy has to do with this. Only little kids get jealous over loot imo, and I dont like jealous little kids!

I don't think it's take too much to implement, and it'd rock!
