Sorry, but there's so many issues with the current system, that anyone who defends it is clearly one of the people who ignore mobs completely when a cool item drops and just stands around waiting for the loot timer to expire instead of playing the game.

Funny..


Im wondering if people who can`t kill and pick up loot at the same time have problems walking and chewing buble gum at the same time also.

Hell, i wonder if they have problems multitasking in general.

This is an absolutely awful analogy. If I'm in the middle of a pack of skeletons who are threatening my life, why would I pause to pick up an Orb of Augmentation on the ground? I'm going to keep killing them until I'm safe and THEN worry about loot. That's the logical thing to do.

Walking and chewing bubble gum is easy. Walking while picking up pennies while someone is trying to beat your face in is another thing altogether.

Pause? You click it and grab it if its worth it. Just like walking and chewing bubble gum.

You make it sound like its complicated when its nothing more then a twitch re-action in the middle of a rumble that barely lasts a 0.0005 seconds. The timeer can be a bitch, but that timer should not exist in the 1st place. Thats the real issue. It should be true FFA.

I play ranged and do this, i can beat melee classes to drops anytime i want. Most of the time i pass on drops because its not worth it. Pick and choose.

You've completely missed the point I made on several levels here. First of all, if the loot timer belongs to me, I don't have problems looting it. However, everyone else in the party stands around and waits for that loot timer to expire instead of worrying about killing stuff. That's silly. If you want to make this completely FFA, fine, I suppose that's one way to solve it. But melee characters get an inherent advantage. If I'm slinging spells from the back line, there's no way I'm getting this item before the Shadow spamming lightning strike from right next to the enemy that just died.

The current loot system breaks the idea of cooperative teamwork in a group. It leads to downtime where people are standing around waiting for a loot timer instead of playing the game. That's the main point I was trying to make, and what this thread was started about. Its not about being ninja=kick. Its about trying to play a more sane version of the game.

Well, i agree the loot timer causes problems. It should NOT exist. With it removed people will not have to wait for the lame tmer to expire.


Also, you know how many people have died waiting for that timer to expire. The waiting game causes death too.

I make FFa map parties.

It only goes l2n once I have assured everyone im playing with is good and wont just do l2m until a GG item drops.

I met someone a week and a half ago, we met in maps and he was the only competent player so we added each other, played for a week straight. First map run we did when I met him kaoms heart dropped to someone else.

Ten days later of running maps with him and his buddies a lioneyes glare drops, I already had one, he kicks me and another kid from party for his own selfish greed.

Those are the exact type of players I never want to run into again.

Ok, you go ahead and explain to me how you're going to address the issues that arise when the loot timers aren't there then. If you've played Diablo 2, you'll remember the days of when the boss gets down to 5% health, everyone stands right next to him and stops attacking to have the highest chance to pick up loot. That's not a fun system.

LMAO!? Really... Explain?


From what i remember in D2 loot drops where free for all. Simple really... Public games where like smashing open pinata's. Get what you can and thats that. Not crying.

True MFing was done alone or with friends. Simple really. How is that so complicated?

Also, it was a really fun system. Hell, its one of the BEST ARPG.

The discussion has clearly changed to looting. Confine it to the following feedback thread, which needs your valuable input/discourse on the matter: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/392

Thank you.
