Hoping GGG sticks to their guns.

Here's the deal...adding an option for allocated loot would not inpact your gaming experience. This is a non issue. Full respecs however, would completely scrap the replayability of this game. Most other things the "carebear kids" would possibly complain about are very minor issues.
My point is the whole "I gotta defend my nostalgic niche game" attitude is probably a little dramatic. |

FFA isn't an issue for me, when I play in groups I usually play with trustworthy people, I don't party up with people for the sake of getting better loot, I do it when my friends are also playing and I want to party up with them.
and I'd thank GGG for keeping it that way. technically you can full respec, you just need to grind for enough orb of regrets. Keysus is my guide!

" I think you got this part wrong, unless listening to the community means giving them a giant middle finger... But I agree with the rest of your post, and the OP as well. GGG needs to make their own game! I am not worried though because they seem to be hitting the mark with every patch they release. IGN: ImmortalFang

Based on what Chris has been saying and the fact that most of the grinding gear team are gamers themselves, I am pretty sure they will have some vision of the game they want and not be swayed by the "entitled" community.

Providing people with choice is never a bad thing.
The best suggestion i've heard is to have party search filters. If you want to play in FFA parties then you can, when you want seperate loot parties then you can. CHOICE. It's a beautiful thing. Hardliners will cry wolf and visions being destroyed. But at the core, the reason POE is such a great game is because of that basic fact - choice. Will people in FFA groups be physical hurt or wounded because at that same time there's a seperate loot group happening? I highly doubt it. "There is only one god and his name is Death. Do you know what we say to Death? ...Not today."

" Well, given that I would prefer to not play in a timered or instanced loot group, it's very likely that I will not be playing with a large number of people. If instanced loot becomes the most popular or the default choice, then I'll probably just stick to soloing. That hurts. (Note: The same argument works for someone who prefers instanced loot over FFA or timered.) |

" The OP states that he wants to play the game GGG designed. Considering that the popular demand here is to keep the current system as default and then add in other options, you would still be getting your wish. Standard Forever

" Oh, but you could just play with friends then who shared your ideas about FFA loot! |

" I was thinking the same thing. Having differnet loot options really does not change the game and arguably enhances it for different play styles. Its also what the majority appears to want (IMO). Full respecs is a big change that I am guessing is only wanted by the vast minority of players. Theres a world of difference between these two suggestions. People who really want to respec all of their points can already do so by collecting and trading orbs of regret. People who hate the loot system are just out of luck. Standard Forever
