Why not combine solo loot with the ffa one. Those items with no player allocated to it would be FFA while those with allocations would not drop but appear as part of the UI to the player set to it(This would have a loot timer) saying "do you want this item?" and 2 choices appear with it saying "Yes" and "No". If the player does want the item, he would just click on "Yes" and it would instantly appear on the player's inventory. If for some reason the player does not want the loot and clicks "No" or the timer runs out, the item would drop on the location the player as a FFA item.

Having this system would fix things:
-No more waiting for a long time for an item a player does not want(and not get left behind)
-No Ninja looters
-You can finish killing monsters left in the area without worrying someone might steal your
loot
-Players won't stop fighting to get the loot
-No more panicking on which loot is yours
-Less Distracting names on screen(Especially when there are a lot of items around)
-I couldn't think of anything else.

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

Your little friend was tooooooo slooooooow for the pick up... And BTW, thats not HIS loot. Its everyones.


He should have stayed in single player if he thinks hes entitled to every single thing that drops. DErP!


Please, do everyone an favour and give it up. You just keep juicing drama queens sob stories for what its worth.


They really need to remove the loot timer. Im getting tired of kickin people who complain about `ÒMG LOOT NINJAS`!

I just grouped up with a few random groups for the first time, and everybody ninjaed everyones items and gems. It was really annoying and let me to have a bad experience instead of having fun playing. Please make the timers to pick up loot longer.

Very nice idea! I think it could solve a lot of the problems on both sides! If the current system is to be replaced, I would totally support this system.

So where is the incentive to play in a group with randoms? By myself I don't get the good items stolen. It's like, why would I want to invite thieves to join me?

I don't understand why people want to play with other people, but not play with other people anyway.

The next mobutu and killbilly will ask for, is instanced rare monsters. Then instanced bosses. Then personal only zones. What we are left with, is a chat-system.
