Ninja Looting

Is there any action being taken to add a feature that prevents ninja looters?

Quite frankly, ninja looting is the main reason that stops me from partying with strangers.
I really think that something needs to be done to prevent this.

My suggestions would be;

1. Bring back the old loot timer box.
2. Keep the loot hidden from other party members until the timer runs out.
3. Display in party chat which player has looted a valuable item that rolled for another player. eg : "ILoveLoot picked up Chaos Orb"

These three features would make partying with strangers much more fun and less of a loot scramble fest.


What do you think?

They removed the names from dropped loot. What does that tell ya?
Not going to happen. loot is FFA and the removal of names from the timers is a good thing. loot that drops is for everyone, you just get a timer so everyone has a chance at the loot.

Agree or disagree with it, GGG's stance sppears to be that there is no such thing as "ninja looting". They want to foster the cut throat environment that exists around loot acquisition in parties.

here's what i think: be thankful that GGG gives you a timer at all. i think they should get rid of it all together so no one can say "hey that was mine"

also read the thread posts in the forums that say STOP POSTING NEW NINJA LOOT THREADS
