On my server, Garona, we use "N" and "G", for Need or Greed. Five Greeds means everyone rolls, but if we have a Need come up (which is only valid if you are using it yourself - collecting stuff for alternate characters is a G), then either they get it or they roll against any other Ns in the group. Some players are too stupid or greedy (or both) to follow this system, but you generally just refuse to group with them again, and let their guildmaster know about the behavior. Either they get with the program or they'll eventually have no friends.
Don't be hasty to get judgemental though. Mistakes can happen in combat, and things can be misinterpreted... I once rolled on an item that was G to me, because someone said "G hammer n gloves", and I took the "n" to be shorthand for "and" because people are always speaking that sort of gibberish with "u" and "ur" and "ne1". Anyway, I apologized and voluntarily passed on everything from the next couple bosses. The real thief types generally just quit the group and hearthstone out.
Now if I could just move the Roll/Pass windows a bit without having to use something as big as MoveAnything...
