There are situations where a person will ONLY click Need if someone else in the group clicks need. This is due to either wanting a specific item or looking for Ninja Looters (Which does happen). The problem is you can't tell if someone else in your group rolled need.

Another situation will arise if you don't know wether you should click need or not. Usually you can judge this by looking to see if everyone else rolls greed. Naturaully if a person sees this they click 'Greed'.

In both situations you cannot see the Need roll.

My suggestion is to allow Need rolls based on a configuration option on this addon. That way a user can CHOOSE to see the Need roll for these specific situations.

Something around the lines of (without localization obviously). This is just a rough idea. The boolean check for the option isn't in the code as well.

ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter

if not string.find(string.lower(msg), "need") then
--IF NOT NEED THEN SURPRESS
Debug("Supressing chat message", msg)
return true
end
