Autoloot for currency (in settings with on/off)

Though... given the absolutely insane bonuses a group gets it would cause the group-play to get more in line with solo-play, reducing the already unfair advantage via the methods of stacking quant to at least bring it a bit more in line with the solo-players.

I honestly love group play, almost never get to do it with friends and when I do I almost always see RIP's. (HC only here) you do indeed have perks with a group! The pace is always faster and mistakes get made... There are SO MANY ways to die with other players that would never happen solo, that I honestly feel group play is way more dangerous. (others stirring up too many monsters, leaving behind death effects, or suddenly retreating and leaving you alone in a huge fight, etc. or my favorite: clicking on +5 boosted frost nova boxes)

The exception being organized groups that practice roles and approach the game professionally... and I'll never be in that category.

*my point being that if there are 'conveniences' only available for solo, or perm loot parties. and they get used to that, people most definitely wont go out of their way to play FFA or SA ever.

Currency has value because it require effort to pick it up.

Auto-pickup would be dumbing down the game as you take away one of the choices players have to make, whether to pick up currency or not.

Making a game easier (gameplay that is, not QoL changesa) is almost always a bad decision.

Okay, then you'll turn it off.
As I said, it would be an on/off option in settings.
But I would turn it on like sh*t :).

People don't want to loot items in an ARGP, whose one of main premises is PICKING UP STUFF?

WTF.

+1 for the OP

-10 to everything, that Cyzax writes about looting and trading :-p

and to the folks, that don‘t like an option to autopick: where are your threads for manually picking up Azurite?

Player should know best and decide about his/her fun.

Make auto-loot possible via a config, just like loot filters.

I would use auto-loot for most junk currency, but stuff like maps or anything around Chaos orb and above, still rather to pick, just for fun. If/when it ever becomes unfun, I can auto-loot for that as well.

Now inventory management is definitely something that should go away.

I don't see these things happening in PoE though, this game is becoming old like the people who make and play it (lost in a nostalgic loop), can't and won't cope with the times.

Thats kinda bold thinking. If anything will ever made it into the international version, it'll be that $180 chinese vacuum cleaner pet. Tho the best time for selling it has passed already, as the omgfast backtracking league is about to end soon.

Greetings,

I'm asking the GGG team!

Is there any ongoing discussion or future plan about adding Autoloot function into the game?
I've been playing this game for 7 years, but the most annoying thing is to pick up the dropped items especially the currency. It would be so healthier if I could switch on an Autoloot function (as a prototype it would work only for currency) and I could pick up items automatically whenever I walk nearby them.

If there is no any plan for this, then I would suggest it to be. :)
I think a lot of people will be much happier while playing.

Thank you,
Cheers!

+100

They should also add a auto run map switch too, i dont want to spent my time spending running through same maps again and again. I should just be able to click once and watch my wealth grow.

There're already a lot of bots armies auto-picking up currency everyday, and they had made this game harder.

For exp, I exchanged 90c for an ex before, but now I have to exchange 180c for an ex. (bots can use chaos orb recipe to produce chaos orbs very quickly)

So to compensate this, we should have auto-pickup function to make game easier.

How does price of ex makes game easier or harder? at 180c per ex you find 180c when you find an ex instead of 90c.

1. items priced as ex doesn't change. items cost 2 ex before, they still cost 2 ex now.

2. craft...(Don't you craft?)

Yes, I find 180c when I find an ex. but no one care about 180c, because 180c is less useful than 1ex.
