Overview
Personal Loot Helper (PLH) simplifies trading of personal loot by notifying you when a drop is not an upgrade for the looter, but is an upgrade for you or others in your group!
What’s New
When a PLH user receives loot they can trade, PLH will give them the option to KEEP or OFFER TO GROUP. If they choose KEEP, PLH will not notify anyone else that the item is tradeable. If they choose OFFER TO GROUP, PLH will notify other PLH users who can equip the item that it is available.
Notified players can PASS or request the item for MAIN SPEC, OFF SPEC, or XMOG. PLH does an internal /roll for each requestor and shows the looter each requestors’ reason for rolling, ilvl difference, and roll. The looter can then choose to KEEP the item for themselves after all or TRADE it to one of the requestors. Of course, the looter is not bound by the reasons, ilvl differences, or rolls when making their decision – that information is there to help them, but the ultimate decision is up to the looter! The trade itself still has to happen manually via the Trade window, but everything else – the notification, the requests, the rolls, the decision to keep or trade the item, and the decision of who to trade the item to – happens within PLH!
While the looter can see all requestors and their reasons & rolls, the rest of the group cannot! After the looter has decided whether to KEEP or TRADE the item, the "winning" requestor will be told to open trade, but the declined requestors will only be shown that the item is no longer available – they will not know whether the looter kept the item or gave it to someone else. This should minimize social pressure from people badgering looters or badgering people to whom loot is gifted.
Hopefully you can see how this will be a big time saver for groups – if everyone has PLH installed, the entire group can manage loot sharing without bothering with whispers, /rolls, comparing ilvls, clarifying who needs for main spec vs. off spec, etc.!!
I recognize that not everyone your group with will have PLH installed, so I also added the often-requested feature to whisper looters. If the looter does not have PLH installed, you will see a WHISPER button instead of MS/OS/XMOG buttons. PLH will only allow you to whisper the looter once per item (of course you could manually whisper them multiple times, but don’t do that!).
I’ve added several new configuration options as well (such as automatically skipping confirmations, broadening what is shown based on ilvl, or customizing the whisper message). You can see the options by doing “/plh”.

I love using this addon in mog runs! It would be cool to have a button to offer loot to the group if I already have the appearance.
I would love to see a feature that would allow you to check if all members of the raid have PLH installed.
Any way to make this work for TBC ?
could you add epgp support to this?
Thanks for nice addon. Two things:
- could addon support sending the message in instance channel rather than as whisper (configurable option)
- I noticed the addon doesn’t show the window with options to send whisper to person who got the interesting loot - if the character doesn’t have enough levels to equip it. I would like this would be a configurable option, as we all run alts say in dungeon groups 😀
Any way for it to track all the tradable loot instead of just the ones i can wear? I don't even need the pass/need functionality.
In reply to whi5pek:
Technically yes - PLH keeps track of what everyone gets and what is tradeable. The first version of PLH actually told people if anyone in the group could trade loot. However, many people took offense to that as making that information available to others made people feel "forced" to trade loot. So PLH still tracks it, but doesn't show it to the user. I may change my mind about this in the future, but for now PLH will keep tradeable items hidden if they're not directly related to the player.
In reply to cardinalm1:
Oh, i need that information shown only for myself actually, nothing more. ;) The way it works now is great, small window with all the items, just without the 'eligible for me to use' filter would be great!
Please, add cyrillic support!
So the addon does nothing.
In reply to DisplaceGamer:
why? works perfect for me. Shows me who can pass me loot by ilvl upgrade, by tmog missing and who has low gear in my party to give item.
has anyone checked on the author is he/she ok?
If possible,plz release a fixed one
I'm not getting anything for missing tmogs :(
