All I can say is enjoy the FFA while its still there because with all this crying sooner or later they will change it and dont tell me about loot OPTIONS because who will play on a race league with FFA instead of safe Instanced loot?

Next target: Full Respec.

Drama much? FFA won't vanish no matter what happens. I thought people partied with friends in races anyway and don't you play faster in races with FFA?

Ya ok because Full Respec has just as much hate? There's one or two short threads with the vast majority of players condemning full respecs. Not the same at all.

And there you have it.

They know.

Everyone knows that FFA is harder than Instanced loot, that dont necessarily mean better or worse but in a competitive environment people will choose the easier/safer way to play and succeed.

Choose: Harder game or Easier game.

I still think people wont play FFA if there is option for instanced, but we'll see. (IMO)

About the Full Respec, true it dont have much hate AT THE MOMENT but its a thing ppl will start to complain in later stages of the game when they have high level chars with bad builds that cant progress any further. (IMO)

So now you have to be smart to have mad clicking skills....or maybe its just really fast internet and the mindset of focusing more on the loot than on the real gameplay.

Loot is the gameplay. If there wasn't any loot why would you play?

A non competitive system does not have to have any difference in the amount of loot. The economy would not have to change at all.

It is competitive, we have PVP and a ladder. If the loot was instanced, timed, or FFA, those variables come into play if all 3 are active choices in the league.

Thats fine, there are much more level headed and non insulting FFA supporters out there to post anyhow.

As long as the devs looks at it occasionally thats all that matters.

I have been pretty level headed, there has been a few that are namecalling etc. I haven't done that. I just get frustrated at times, but feel I handled that well. Not too sure where I was insulting, but if disagreeing with your suggestions is insulting, then yes I have been insulting this whole time.

There has been over 300 pages of discussion and no word.

yesterday i had to watch my precious Molten Shell Gem getting picked up by another melee-player, after i was stuck a moment in the level as a bowranger. When i asked him to give it back, he left the game. It is a simple fact that all ranged chars are seriously disadvantaged with FFA.

Please at least double the timer for picking things up, or implement an option to disable the timer completely (aka no FFA). Currently this discourages me and many others to play in groups at all. :(

Worldbreaker, please consider this.

Some of us don't want or enjoy the competition that you find fun.

We do not want to compete with our fellow players in any way.

We want a pure PvE experience.

I would be happy to join an instanced league that had no ladder and no races or prizes.

I care nothing about bragging rights to my fellow players. I know some do, but honestly, I couldn't care less. I would NOT be happier being on a group and getting 120% of the loot while another teammate only got 80%. I WOULD be much happier if we each got the same amount.
