At least not in hardcore league. Should also let people PK each other. Only then would you REALLY have to trust your group to progress, or otherwise remain solo against the dangers of Wraeclast.

Huh? He didn't state anything of the sort.

Yes... he did.

Your statement undermines your Forum Signature “Looting: working as intended“

One way to interpret that, is that every item on the ground is "yours". Besides, I think what the dude obviously meant is that if someone takes something that was dropped on the ground that maybe was originally yours, you should be able to DO something about it.

Loot doesn't have to come from mobs. I can drop my own loot from my inventory to make room or whatever and someone snatches it.




Therefore, you just possibly misinterpreted what he meant; can only assume.

Nope not at all. The timer was added to please feedback, people now whine the timer isn't fair. The current system is fine for me. Nothing more fun then hearing angry people on chat when "their" loot was stolen because it had their name for a few seconds. FFA-loot is working as intended by GGG which is what my signature says.

I sure hope they will add it.

Because names and timers are soooooooo realistic. In real life if someone takes something from you and ticks you off they are magically protected and you can't harm them in any way right?

Thats really hardcore right there.

You should follow your own advice with mudslinging and flaming.

Explain how what I typed there has anything to do with mudslinging or flaming. I replied sarcastically to prove a point, make an argument. Thats a far cry different than simply calling people who disagree with me "whiners" or whatever.
