Loot Data

I don't quite understand what part of various popular addons are showing group loot. I'd like to see users blocked from seeing what I pick up. Anyone know what specifically is allowing users to see items looted by the group?

There are several addons, known and unknown, who are able to do this.
The game isn't preventing it so you cannot block it at all :-(

Interesting. So this is server side? Is it possible to spam people with false data? That would be just as effective.

Highly unlikely, considering if such an easy way of sending data existed, we wouldn't have to rely on map pings to transfer a few bytes at a time.

You cannot raise the events (loot, whatever) to the other players in your group or outside of groups, just locally to yourself.
So the answer is: No

Actually, just using the word 'spam' should have made you think long and hard what you were trying to do. I'm pretty sure that would count as 'disruptive behavior' in the sense of Zenimax's TOS, and any player using such an AddOn risks facing an auto-kick by the servers or worse, a ban.
