@OP

this is the first commenter here.

that's a very narrow minded view you got there. of course Loot Detector isn't a aura that's a be all and end all. I'm not quite sure what the original function for Thief's Wit worked like before any changes, but what matters now is that DE seems to have settled on having only aura mods be capable of granting it's effect to the whole team. The possibility that Thief's Wit worked for the whole squad in the past isn't relevant as the Devs has designated it as a normal mod, not an team granting aura mod.

It's true that by itself Loot Detector is never going to reach the levels of usefulness things like Energy Siphon or Rejuvenation, but that doesn't mean it is worse than others. What you seemed to assume was that many people were hyping this aura up as like a god tier like aura.

The real reasons why it's sought after is for the 1st obvious reason that this is the first time it's been officially released to the public unlike it's first outing in the form of an unintentional DE mistake of letting it free to the Transmutation tables. The 2nd reason is that in situations where you're not necessarily dependant on the more vital auras and just farming loot such as mods, it's a good aura to chuck on for the whole team to have a Thief's Wit effect without sacrificing a mod slot for it.

But in advance, my original comment was not in spite but of sarcasm. I don't think it's a big deal that you didn't notice Loot Detector is an aura mod, many people are gonna do that too. Just letting you know that this mod isn't as worthless as you imply it is, but I must admit it ain't all round essential one in terms of use.

The flaws of a mod with a specialized purpose I guess...
