" like i give 2cents for your desperate cries |

" Why do you assume everyone in your party is a hostile "ninja"? Why do you think everyone is selfish and wants to screw over the party? You seem to have made some bad experiences and are now butthurt beyond reason. Also my point still stands, you can't steal something if it doesn't personally belong to anyone. If you see someone selfish in your party, don't play with him. Establish a friends list. Soon there will be clans, search one which appeals to you and your needs and everything will be okay. Now calm down and have a cookie :) GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" ...I have only found 4 uniques and have given 2 away. So really, i don't care. Its the principle. IF player spams walls just to block people from loot. Thats the annoying part. I could careless if i didn't get it. Im not a whiney baby. Last edited by Vooodu#7002 on Jan 31, 2013, 9:51:49 AM

" Looking at that huge wall of text of yours you quite much did. |

" But this is not life, it's a game. Tryed public grouping now several times and every group had at last one member who did nothing but waited for loot while the rest fought. And as I mentioned earlier I stricktly follow the rule: FIRST fight THEN loot Let the timer start when everyone in group is out of combat and increase it depending on rarity. If the timer start AFTER combat everyone in group will try to kill as fast as posible. blue item: as it is now yellow item and skill gems: 10+range seconds orang item and suport gems: 20+range seconds In addition change high end Orbs from gray to yellow and orang colors.

" Exactly, its the principle. FFA enables greifers in public groups, we need a non-griefer enabling loot system to keep public groups sociable - otherwise they aren't worth the bother and, for many of us, PoE becomes a solo game. I have plenty of solo games, not sure I need another, certainly not going to pay for one when I have ones I've already payed for and haven't played yet. And before you go the play with friends route - I'm retired, the few friends of mine that are still alive aren't and playing games is the least of their concerns these days. As for making friends in the game, that would require playing in public groups - catch 22. Are there workarounds? Sure. Are they worth the bother? No. PoE is a good AARPG but it is far from the only one and very few people like me are going to spend money on a defective product. FFA in cooperative PvE makes PoE into a defective game. If I want 'cut-throat' feel, I'll go outside at night and pick a fight with the drug dealers on the corner. |

PvP flag if you click an item before the timer expires. Let's see how strong hyenas are when there are actual lions.
And ample opportunity for griefing people instead of faux competition. If you die in an instance killed by other player in HC mode you go to default. Bring it on. |

" Group of 5 guys killing 20 enemies. "OOOh look something shiny"...makes way to dead body to loot completely ignoring the fight. That is what I refer to my friend. I like the idea someone posted of increasing the radius at which items can be picked up. That way if I am on the outskirts of the 3-4-5 guys huddling over the item awaiting my timer to drop then I can still get there. If not, well then I truly AM slow. As per someone comment on me being slow. It has nothing to do with my speed. Its me clicking the item and the player not moving because there are other party members in the way. What people are failing to realize is this thread is going on 400 pages. This is clearly a topic many people wish to see fixed somehow. Nobody is going to STOP playing if it stays the same or is changed. It will just determine wether or not people play in Pick-Up-Groups. |

" My biggest problem with Public games is not loot. Its the minions and auras and totems OH MY!! Six players with a few summoners, totems and aruas and i can't tell what the hell is going on...lol I mean sure, i love all the trippy colours but i have no clue whats going on.. Look man, if you need someone to play with just add me. |
