Who says D3 got it right with instanced looting? Sounds like opinion again, personally I feel that is just another thing on the long list of things they did wrong.

you wheren't in the forums back then

ofc it is an opinion lets do not start that again...but when an opinion is accepted by a wide audience it is what we call public acceptance...and when there is public acceptance then you can accept it as a fact

lets do not start again what is an opinion lets move a bit forward

I'd like a little longer of a delay on item drops. I'm a ranger and I have several MF items.. killed a boss and had four yellows drop for me. I only got to one in time. I don't mind trying to weigh out which item would be the most beneficial to loot.. but really?

ah another FACT why FFA sux...
let me break it a bit for those FFA defenders

our little friend here is a ranger
our little friend here has MF gear
our little friend here BOOSTED the mf of the group
our little friend here carried his weight in the group
and our little friend here only managed to get 1 item out of the 4 and not because the other SPARED him this one item...hell i bet their mad mouse clicking skills didnt' grab all of them..

welcome our little friend to this thread you have a story of many more that have already or will never been spoken

Even people who hate D3 generally think that instanced looting was fine in the game. Myself for example, look at my sig.

instanced looting didn't hurt the game at all. It had MUCH bigger issues.

Not everyone enjoys instanced looting, however. What do you propose as a compromise for those who don't like it? GGG has already compromised from strictly FFA loot, not sure what more you want without taking over the system completely? Add a few microseconds to the timer?

Given that you apparently haven't bothered to read what is being asked for before making your snarky remark I will spoonfeed it to you.

nop as numberous peoples sayed already

give loot options to group leaders
either freedom of timer or instanced/ffa
or if they want to make the leap forward, abandon ffa loot, it brings more pain than the false sense of hardcorish gameplay

adding microseconds or even 1 second to the timer is like mocking us

and the correct phrase is

few do not enjoy instanced looting

options, just options(for the leader of a public group maybe)...pls read the thread if you have such elemental questions...

its already forgotten, but the current system is easy to abbuse..

but you know what this thread feels like "Don Quixote, tilting at windmills"..

;P

just use 5 quicksilvers, pickup everything always, easy. ;)

sure i could, but i dont like grabbing greefy...

Sorry, I have better things to do than read through 350 pages of whining. I know too well that people who play these games won't stop until it's watered down carebear friendly garbage. I can only keep my faith in GGG and their design goals.
