Not MY loot? why did it have MY name on it?
The derps you are talking about may be a bow user staying far from the target to be able to deliver constant damage without being in real danger while the melee class tanks it. But then, the melee class loots everything despise having seen THE NAME of the bow user under the item.

Its your loot until it no longer has your name on it, at which point its free for all.

1) Unique names are super annoying to come up with, and the biggest hindrance for new players to actually get into the game (once installed). I think Guild Wars 2 had the right idea here: duplicate names are fine. Also, while I'm busy trying to come up with a name the selected character will continously repeating its backstory, this is annoying.

5) I have 4 mouse buttons, I'd like to be able to remap MOUSE3 to MOUSE4.

7) Speaking of groups, a level filter would be nice.

Pretty much agreed.

2) I had to dig out an old Windows machine to play the game because the installer is doing something crazy weird on Linux/Wine (the "Allocating Space" issue).

A linux build would be pretty nice but I don't see it in the near future.

This is a development decision taken by GGG but under heavy discussion.
You'll probably want to join the discussion here:

I have to answer questions to that problems all the day in the global.
The devs should really consider implementing an optional ingame tutorial explaining this mechanics soon.

Thanks for that feedback and welcome exile!

I just had to laugh about this :D.
Sorry but this really hardly is GGG's fault.
It's a windows game.
My advice if you really want to use linux: Create a dual-boot with Windows 7.
But you probably know better, because people who use linux always tend to think they know better. :D

Actually I never had a problem with that. I already farmed some areas with a friend.
Usually we:
1. Farm the area
2. Go out
3. One of us generates a new instance via ctrl-click
4. The other one enters the area with a normal click
5. Everything is fine

It has your name on it to give laggers and ranged a CHANCE at getting loot. Otherwise these people would get nothing. This game is FFA loot based. Do you not understand the meaning of this? Its not hard. It means the item is yours when its in your bag. The "name" on a tag does not infer the item is "yours" at all. IF that was the intention the timer would not dissapate. Make sense now?

I've been drinking vodka and wondering about that old Path of Exile game which I played a while ago (for about ~20 hours, apparently). How's it going? Did they fix those weird issues that caused me to stop caring? Well, it looks like a developer or community relations bloke answered a question (post-my-mortem, anyway) about the instance management issue (which, if you aren't that bright, caused me to leave the game until I got (literally) to bored not to try again). Cheers to you, good sir! Maybe I'll stay awhile (cue: Diablo 2 music)... this time.

EDIT: Also, whatever asshat posted 7 of 8 "you suck, go away" answers? That's annoying dude, you aren't helping the brand by doing stuff like that.

EDIT #2: Ushela, last played: 4/6/2013. So much for your high-and-mighty attitude... glhf ;)

lol "self-necro" ...thinks about it... laughs... yeah, I guess I did self-reres. Seriously, though, I hope they fixed some of these issues (although the ctrl-click instance reset has me excited). Redownloading the assests as we speak (ugh 27%). Self-necro. Lmao, I think I <3 you. Also, Titos, a miniblender, tonic, simple syrup, and blueberries.

I find it funny you quit because you couldn't reset an instance, but the solution had always existed and the frist post adv of this.

Lol
