This is why we need area loot!

I remember that being one of the things I liked about SWTOR that WoW doesn't have.
When I think of it, this feature is in a lot of other MMOs I've played. When I came back to WoW after playing Rift and SWTOR, I kept searching for this feature in the options, because I had gotten accustomed to this being common thing. Such a simple concept should be in WoW, I don't see any reasons why not.
