How is he 'ninjaing' it from you if you didn't pick it up yourself during the timer and it no longer has your name on it? Honestly, I think GGG should just remove the names from the timers as that's what seems to be creating all this entitlement. Because it is supposed to be a cutthroat game? We've already proved PoE is as cutthroat as Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean in DisneyWorld. And FFA'ers like you reject true cutthroatness as you all too happy with no-consecuence FFA to allow true cutthroatness. Oh, the hypocrisy. For a guy who claims he only plays in party with a close group of friends you are always incredibly invested arguing against any kind of measure that would make ninjaing either harder or with any consecuence.

FFA looting in PvE is for panzy-asses that like to pretend they're hardcore, but are really just greedy douchebags that compensate for all their cumulative shortcomings with an inflated ego. Pretty much. The true hardcore hardbitten assholes are out playing EVE. PoE appears to be designed to attrack the bottom feeders, the scum, the wanna be griefers and make them believe they're as hardcorez as the real deal because they ninja in a game where ninjaing has no repercussions at all.

Looting is Okay-ish Kinda sucks for me when I'm on 10FPS in full group, kinda just have to focus on staying alive then (HC), the low FPS makes it really difficult to move around smootly and try to pick up my loot fast aswell, this is mainly the reason why I go solo, or only group with people I know, preferably only groups of 2-3. BUT HEY, LIFE AINT FAIR HEHE FUK U LOOTNINJAS	Posted by HerrKatt#3599 on Feb 6, 2013, 9:02:01 AM Quote this Post

PS: in this game u can't "ninja" as u can't grab the item as long as it is reserved.	Posted by Ruefl2x#5824 on Feb 6, 2013, 9:16:35 AM Quote this Post

Anyways this thread is pointless. Soon we'll get an autopick hack released and then all of this will be pointless.

I don't really want to make fun of you, but seriously, STOP with those TL2 / D3 analogies. Ok, I know POE isn't finished, but currently both of those games you mentioned are much, much, MUCH harder than POE is. I can solo late game content in 3-4 days with a 47 lvl 149hp witch. I went maps run with a 53 level witch. Have you tried the hardest difficulty in D3? There is no way you can farm them even if you are playing the game for months. Have you tried killing those "immune to physical damage AND immune to magical damage monsters"? They CAN'T die. Literally, they can't. ANd you call POE hardcore, while it actually has an almost full respec system. If a dev can check how many respec points I have used in my witch + shadow, please go ahead and post the number. I bet its more than 50. And you call that no respec? When you can actually BUY orbs of regret from a fucking vendor :D Fail quote is fail. I didn't say that.

PoE’s multiplayer needs patching; including spell animation, difficulty, and looting. Based upon Chris’s posts they are currently “discussing player feedback” regarding the Loot system. I hoped that they would have fixed multiplayer before OB but they were focused on act 3. Now that we are in OB we have to give them time to code and test the multiplayer changes. I understand that the current system leaves a lot to be desired. I am confident that they will change it and the new system/options will be a major improvement.

Also instanced loot enable new Self Found Hardcore League. Which is not possible with shared loot and items dropping. I hope it will be before my HC char die. :) BTW I'm not against FFA loot as long as it is optional. Please tolerate that other persons like different things and enable me and like minded people to play with instanced loot option. I don't see reason for personal attack from either sides. " Chris wrote: This is a concept based on feedback only. It's not locked in stone, but we like the direction it's going in. What do you guys think about this suggestion? Please don't just post "allocated sucks", or "I won't play if it's free-for-all". Hi Chris, I'm sure, you have a lot of work. And I understand, that loot system isn't priority right now. But here is already almost 500 pages of our feedback / thoughts. Can you please add some post too, so we can see, that this thread isn't forgotten.

In merciless, which probably you haven't played, unique drops like flies. And everyone runs around and camps them L O L. NO, its not screwing anyone over. And seriously? Im in merciless doing runs for the past few days non stop, and there's NOOOOOO uniques dropping like flies. Theres also NOOOooOO body trying to use skills to block people from getting items... ....So you like to make things up to make your point seem more ledgit? IS that what you do to get what you want?
