Yeah yeah the loot will get changed since they will earn more money that way. Maybe they will even add something that tells people which skills to choose when they level. Maybe they even add full respects so people no longer have to cry on the forums when they build their character the wrong way.

The above wont help your argumentation because its full of strawmans and FUDs.

At least not without the rest of us 30+ guys knowing you're full of shit and just blowing hot air in a transparent and pathetic attempt to impress people over the internet :D

Bro, this is the Internet - we are all Mensa members and Olympic athletes here. If you're going to try and appear e-tough, at least go for something more impressive than being old. :D

Make a option to use modifer key to pickup white items. Or what every lower qualety.

Taken from a chat with one of the devs (you can see a bunch of the conversation in the screenshot in the spoiler):

"

Brian_ggg: Corvett: We're quite aware of the controversy about FFA loot, and we're working on some solutions that will make most people happy.

"

"

Swagandboners: Briant - is it ever possible you guys will cave in on the loot system becoming something other than a very close to FFA system?

Brian_ggg: Swagand: very very unlikely that it'll every be purely FFA, but we will likely adjust timers, and what things get timers

This is so frustrating. Usually my latency is 160-200. I'm just sick of all the ninjas, the time that I have to pickup my loot sometimes is not enough. Sometime I next to my item and I start clicking on it, and for some reason a ninja is able to take it from me. This is such a good game, but I just thing the way that loot is handle is stupid.

lol :) they are testing "health bars and floating text combat"
thats bad imho ... perfect example of wasted dev time.

If health bars are targettable and they stay on top of the visual effect spam, it's gonna be amazing, dude.

If you play melee. Like real melee, not EK maras.

Too bad for you, dev's have already stated they are concerned about high latency players.

Simple 5 step solution to the loot problem:

Step 1: Create a league and call it something like "Casual Carebears" or "LOLJUSTLIKEDIABLO3"

Step 2: In this league loot will drop which is permanently assigned to a specific player in the group so no one can "Ninja" their loot.

Step 3: Give this league and Auction House too so they can trade all this loot that hasn't been Ninja'd from them.

Step 4: Thank the lords that this part of the community will have their own league so we can stop hearing about how they want every game in the world to require no time, effort, skill or thought to play.

Step 5: The rest of us enjoy this cut-throat themed game the way GGG meant for it to be played.
