Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013. - Forum

I've lost more stuff playing with others and I never once cried. I've lost to de-sync disconnects lag, full inventories and flat out not paying attention. Don't talk to me about 10 chaos orbs. Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay. But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way. For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.	Posted by Chrono89#7401 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:08:54 PM Quote this Post
" Chrono89 wrote: Whatever. Can you please break this post down letter by letter? The game not being loot co-operative makes perfect sense. I can co-operate with others to kill stuff, gain experience and level. What the game doesn't allow for is automatic loot co-poeration - it's left to the players, you want to be a negative nancy go ahead dude; that's the experience you'll have. Sorry, again, i can´t follow the reason behind this cooperative in one way and competitive in another. It, still, sound´s really to me. " Chrono89 wrote: When you join a pub game you know the risks. The timers make it more fair in the least. Right, that´s why im not joining. And that´s why it´s a non-cooperative game. See my point? " Chrono89 wrote: You strike me as the type of person that blames the oven when you get burnt. What? Im not blaming you for nothig. Get over it. Im not even blaming the loot system. Im just saying it´s bad imho and i don´t like it. Simple as that. Don´t take it personal. K? :)	Posted by cyryc#3206 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:15:46 PM Quote this Post

" Chrono89 wrote: I've lost more stuff playing with others and I never once cried. I've lost to de-sync disconnects lag, full inventories and flat out not paying attention. Don't talk to me about 10 chaos orbs. And this is the biggest problem with the current loot system. Every time you lose a chaos orb you feel entitled to take from someone else. This behavior places needless strain upon the player community. IGN: Wrathmar * Paulie * Client	Posted by wrathmar#4456 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:24:17 PM Quote this Post
Nope, I don't. I just play the game dude. Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay. But now it's time for me to go.

" SL4Y3R wrote: They want the players to be competitive with monsters and against each other. The game appears to be failing on this front. If it was so important to GGG that we be competitive against each other then I don't know why they are fine with so many of their players completely avoiding this kind of competition.

Yes, statement was supposed to be general. Should have used the royal We. IGN: Wrathmar * Paulie * Client	Posted by wrathmar#4456 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:46:18 PM Quote this Post
" Not gonna get you wrong, it’s pretty clear. You seem paranoid about some random person taking something that you imagine to be yours that you probably don’t really need. Because of this crippling paranoia, you are afraid to even meet people or earn anyone’s respect and therefore complete your self-fulfilling prophecy of “bad design”. Very often the best items in the game are crafted – crafted from white items that nobody picked up and from alteration or alchemy orbs that can be crafted from other junk that people don’t even pick up. There's a hell of a lot of assumptions in this post.

As in most people just play the game and enjoy it how it is and don't get overly serious about losing hundreads of chaos orbs over the course of time because its just a game. Text makes things look funny and inherently takes things out of context (pun?) I'm only defending this form of gameplay not advocating change. Point being game is infact co-operative the way it is.
