Also to clear something up about the new loot options. There is an item rarity option, so you can specify Fabled +, Legendary +, Treasured + or All items. All items above the specified tier/threshold will use the specified looting option. Any item BELOW the specified tier will automatically use Round-Robin. If you don't want anything being assigned round-robin, then set the threshold to "All Items".
To answer the question about No-Trade items and round-robin, yes, if the person is allowed to loot the item, it will be assigned to them automatically. If people in your group actually care about the no-trade drops, then obviously I wouldn't suggest using Round-Robin for anything Treasured and above. Round-robin is mainly there to handle the junk items so people no longer have to be bothered with pop-up loot windows for water, bones, eyeballs, etc.
As was already mentioned, this is just a preview, there is plenty more coming with this update. We have lots of people on the EQ2 team with different job responsibilities, so just because one person was working on loot options doesn't mean others weren't working on quest fixes, epics, etc.
