My experience in this game has been nothing but negative and harassive.

You either get 100% "safe" and happy games like wow that are heavily regulated and have no game freedom or you end up with people acting like dicks. I'll take the latter because I'm sick of games that hold your hand the whole way and make sure you never get ganked for any reason

I'm sick of additional dicks. I have one of my own, and that's plenty, thanks.

Desync breaks the 'players get a chance at loot' argument. I can't count the number of times that I have clicked on loot walked over too it and seen it disappear into someone else inventory. You may find loosing out on loot due to desync fun but I and most other players do not.


Again not adding loot options at OB launch was GGG biggest mistake. Fake 'cut throat' loot creates pointless hostility between players and kills the social element of co-op. No one talks because if you take your hand off the mouse for a moment you may miss out on an orb drop. So no joking, no debating of 1h+shield vs duel weild. Just anti-social farming where you start to hate you fellow players.

this has not been my experience at all. When I join a public party, I know what I am joining into, and do it for the fast experience, and if I get some loot, so be it (i usually do, though I have seen a few rares get snagged while I had to go defensive or couldnt be assed to try to wade in and get it). More power to those guys, they were standing in a fire that would have burnt me, and got some loot for it, there will be more loot, and I am still racking up XP, and loot is still flinging all over the place, and Oh, that melee guy that snagged my loot is pushed up, and I ninja'd all his loot off the flanking mobs, so now we even.

I have played in 'no ninja' parties, and walked away from loot drops that were allocated initially to someone else, and picked up loot other people have walked away from after my timer ended.

I have played with my friends, and decided who the drops would help the most and talked about it over VoIP.

If you join public parties (which is Not the only way to play) you have to do so with the right mind set that you are fighting mobs for loot drops and then have to go pick the loot up, it is not going to wait for you. You dont have to be unfriendly (though you can if you want), and you dont have to assume that the drop is 'designated for you' (though you can if you want, and then be mad).

LOL.

Harrasive isn't even a word.

L2 Vocabulary.

L2 Internet.

So go play 99.99% of games out there that are easy, predicable, and boring. let the rest of us have JUST 1 GAME that isn't dumbed down to mind-melting levels of boredom.

Also, I'm not saying there's not a number of things that can be greatly improved in PoE particlarly as far as maps/rng goes. Just quit trying to change the genre of the game from cutthroat to carebear.

rofl op is on probation

Loot options are coming, OP.

Don't know just how far they will go, but there will be better options for those that are completely (and understandably) confudled by the 'loot tension' design we have now.

They had their heads up their ass too long telling players how to play. Loot options should have been hotfixed within a couple of weeks. Now it's too late really.

The most addicting MMO of all time as far as I'm concerned was the origional UO. It was also the most cuthroat. There has to be some correllation there.

felluca in UO was very well done, especially the t2a areas with restricted travel rules, it is not original UO, but still very cut throat and designed to pit players against players against the environment, and pulled it off beautifully
