There used to be something that changed the loot sparkle animation to a flag pole way back in the day, but a patch fixed it shortly thereafter.
I'm looking for someone to hook me up, I'm looking to replace the loot sparkle graphic with something else, so say that if you do a lot of low-level-instance power runs and tend to have mounds upon mounds of bodies on top of one another, looting becomes hectic.
Having this replaced with a pole that sticks straight up (and follows the same tangents as sparkles, which is handled by the wow engine I believe and not an actual model edit); the game just flows easier.
If anyone can change the sparkles into something else, and doubly so if you happen to remember the "flag pole" i'm refering to, that's even better.
