Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.

That cheesehead, is how you make D3.

My point was mostly loot the item while its yours. If your a snail then do not cry when you lose items alright?

The loot system is the only good thing in that game. And the bad thing about this game.

But as you mentioned. Don't like it? Go solo.

The problem is people not gonna go for cosmetical microtrans if they don't go in partys and stuff.

No one would ever bought an legendary skin in LoL if you go against bots in all games.

Time will teach GGG a valuable lesson about the loot system as it is right now.

Maybe a lengthier response is needed....

Are you serious? To base an argument off of something that may or may not happen is asinine.

My memory might be fuzzy but I could have swore a major Pro FFA argument was that with looting options no one would play FFA anymore......

Isn't that something that may or may not happen?

There's a difference between "a" argument and "his" argument. Generally you should quote something like that if it was indeed his argument.

Not everyone wants (or doesn't want) FFA loot for the same reasons.

What you say is absolutely true. However he has certainly made that argument numerous times. I don't think he is going to ask me to go find it.

What is going to happens is that people will cry and then quit playing. The beta testing group is highly dedicated to this game, the average player who read about the game and decided to give it a try...not so much.

If you would like to find that statement from me go ahead. I rarely if ever talk in terms of absolutes. I may have commented on that topic by saying something like, it will decrease the amount of.people who would've otherwise played in the timer pub parties.

If they quit over this facet of the game and nothing else. They're loss. Many of you don't like the system but are still here.

The vibe you guys give when you make that argument is that FFA would be a ghost town. So I retract saying that you said "No one", I think you implied that virtually no one would play it. If you disagree I will go look.

The statement holds regardless cyryc. These people can quit anytime they please. But rather, they, sorry for speaking for you, enjoy the game enough to not quit. At least that's how I view it.

Also, its funny how BL2 sold so well, and is still.played by many despite have FFA loot. Different genre, but its still FFA.

If you quit because of this mechanic alone. I can only assume you didn't enjoy other facets of the game. Since currently, there are ways to get around the FFA system, which have been brought up before.
