So if one drops with my name and I break away to go get it and another guy stands on the item so I that I can't get it then obviously I would get upset. However in this "hardcore" game I can't harm that player in any way. Thats the point that I was making, its not in any way realistic or "hardcore".

Telling people to put up or shut up is not really the best type of psychology to use. Video games have become so advanced that we are now in a way part of the iterative process. We tell 'em this feature doesn't work right and then they tweak it, etc etc. IGN: Mibuwolf	Posted by mibuwolf#7946 on Mar 4, 2013, 11:04:01 AM Quote this Post

And that's the whole problem, GGG shouldn't have added the timers and name-tags in the first place. lets do that again i will do that in the old fashioned way since you guys are either blind or low iq to undestand it FFA Loot Is the Super Cool looting system ever invented Chris Several legitimate problems with free-for-all looting were raised: - Ranged players are unable to get to the items in time. - Items might just get scooped up by one player with substantially lower latency than the other players. let me write it down really slow so EVERYONE get it FFA system brought the timers not the other way around implying that TIMERS is the problem well....is like you ACCEPT that the problem is much deeper since if the workaround of your problem is actually making worst you HAVE to change it... stop saying that the timers are the worst thing in the ffa....it just make you look low iq (at least).. rest my case When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself	Posted by killbilly#2346 on Mar 4, 2013, 11:06:04 AM Quote this Post

" killbilly wrote: stop saying that the timers are the worst thing in the ffa....it just make you look low iq (at least)..rest my case Hey. No need for that kinda talk bro. Timers are the worst thing. Because of the timers and names people are thinking that loot is theirs and anyone who takes 'their' loot is a ninja. However, FFA is a problem in the sense that not everyone is happy with only have FFA as a looting option. Forced looting options is a problem for those that do not like FFA, and timers are an issue for those that want strictly FFA. Don't insult others you disagree with; just say that you disagree with them. IGN: Mibuwolf	Posted by mibuwolf#7946 on Mar 4, 2013, 11:12:54 AM Quote this Post

Telling people to put up or shut up is not really the best type of psychology to use. Yup that's something i agree on. Over a year of feedback from either point of view and nothing in return. They comment on a lot of things, not always to the satisfaction of the customer, but not this one point. I can get it that they won't chime into this thread but it would be nice to something about the current-lootsystem by Chris.	Posted by Ginfress#2225 on Mar 4, 2013, 11:13:05 AM Quote this Post
