Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.

When people are arguing about something for more than 370+ pages, it probably means that something's wrong.

Especially when it's related to a loot system as bad as the one that D2 had (a bit better, though, thanks to the timer... but it's still awful, counter-intuitive, unfair and generate a lot of bad attitude between players).

oh hell voodoo is still here saying the same thing for the 10000 time (with different words)...

The same could be said about you pal...

So whats your point?

Unlike you tho, i don't start insulting people calling them childish, pointless and stupid when they straight up lay the facts on the ground solid enough to build a house on it.


Three TOP Excuse's used in the thread for instanced loot.

1.) Ping: Fix = Get a better internet connection

2.) Lack of people in public games: Fact = Public games are packed


3.) Ninja Looters: Fact its not your loot, timers where put into the game to give ranged players a "CHANCE" to get in on drops.


FACT is if anyone straight up tells you how it is, you refuse to accept it... Not just me but anyone else as well.

You and many others go straight for the "TROLL" effect the moment anyone provides any real logic to your sense of entitlement debate.


You might not like it... I get it. But how many times have you and others asked for the persons age, when they graduated, called them greedy or said their diapers are full?

See, unlike you i have never stooped to that level, ever. Like others, i just call it how it is. Simply disagreeing with players like you in turn grinds your gears.

If you don't like what i have to say. Simply ignore me. But saying that im saying the same thing for a 1000 times is pretty funny since you are even worse for this..:D

you go away kiddo...
i fed up with such blatant and clueless claims...

get some facts STRAIGHT seriously

See, things like that. The guy had a point and alls you do is insult him...

Basically, if anyones says anything you don't agree with about the subject you insult him.


Its rather annoying actually... Since you do this every, other post... All day... Long.

I bet 20% of these posts are you doing things like that..lol

Let those who want to fight for stuff with the speed of their mouse clicking fight for it. I want an option for a group to switch on and off instanced loot or increase/decrease the loot timers.

Vooodu, name 3 disadvantages of FFA only, instead of having loot options.

The funny thing is that when pickit gets released for poe, these pro ffa guys will be rushing to install it on their computers.

Just like D2, everyone running maphack and pickit.

It is interesting... what do you prefer, randomized huge maps that create a demand for maphack or small non random maps that do not create a demand for maphack.

How about this, FFA loot that creates a demand for pickit versus instanced loot that does not create a demand for maphack.

Because hardcorez ffaz oldskool kids can scream from the top of their lungs, but as soon as these two tools are available they will be adopting them en masse.

For one weekend, GGG should allow party leaders to toggle between instanced loot and FFA loot.

Just one weekend, so they can gather some data and decide if they want to keep FFA in all modes, having it be a toggle option in parties, or leave FFA loot in for future cut-throat leagues only.

Unlike D2, Party leaders can KICK anyone they want any time the feel like it. So, if cheating is going on simply kicking that cheater would fix it.


Also, in D2 pick it was never a big problem.

Simply NOT joing bot run games would solve your problem.


Alot of people who claimed pick it in D2 where just full of crap tho. I got accused of pick it before by some whiney brat which i found funny as hell.


Its just as stupid as people claiming everyone has AIM BOTS running in FPS games. Just because that player if really good or fast at something.

Please, stop acting like PICK it is a huge problem when it clearly isn't.


IF anything BOTTING will be a problem..Especially if instanced loot is implemented.

i hate ninjas....

Botting would be a big problem in any system. Why single out instanced loot? At least there wouldn't be leeching bots with instanced loot, your share would be safe.
