How do people do it so fast? Before they turn white even.

Use the button for target nearest item and press spacebar.

If you've ever played with 2 accounts at the same time before, or while talking to other people in the same group with you, you'll notice that things don't happen at the exact same time on everyone's computer.

Part of it is that it is probably just turning white faster on they're screen than it is for you. I think some folks are using Fruitcake or Red Bean Cakes for a 5 minute speed boost.

There was a little trick added for people who tought to act smart, but actually it had an oppisite effect.

When I first saw all those presents drop, I hold down Alt to see where the white market were, but there was a problem. When I hold down Alt and ran towards a white market present, it said "Already taken" this happened me tens of times until I accidently released Alt and pressed again and saw everything was grey.

There was a refresh bug, when the presents were market white and repressed the Alt key it updated the names to mark grey. So people who thought about holding down Alt all the time were grabbing towards already taken presents 90% of the time.

Best was to just stand close to a group grey market presents and wait until a few shown white and then click on them. There was also a really big range for picking up those presents which resulted that you saw hardly anyone walking around and get fustrated by the thing why you were running around like hell and didn't anything. Best was to stand still and open your eyes and react fast.

Target nearest + space + fruitcake = lots of presents. I picked up 50 in one district last night, haha...
