"A "Sense of Entitlement" is an unrealistic, unmerited or inappropriate expectation of favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at the hands of others.
I would say wanting to have loot at the expense of others having loot fits this more than wanting for everyone to have equal loots.

"They may appear at times to care only about their own desires and needs at the expense of other people around them or they may habitually prioritize their own needs above those of others."
I would say the kind of person who says "if you don't like it, leave" fits that more than the kind of person who wants options so that everyone can tailor things to themselves.

"Sometimes, people who suffer from personality disorders seem to have a no sense of shame or scruples. They are not afraid to make a fool out of themselves. It’s always the other person who is to blame when something goes wrong."
I would say that someone who claims "you shoulda been faster it's not yours until its in your inventory" fits that more than "my ping is so high I can't always get to the loot in time" does.

TL;DR - A psychologist is more likely to diagnose a pro-ffa red with a sense of entitlement than a pro-timers/options/instances green.

..Funny post.


But, after the video everything else is kind of pointless.


People think the current loot timer means 'dropped' items are theirs no matter what.

If another player picks that item up after the timer expires, they feel as if they have been a victim of theft.

Seems like some sort of entitlement issues to me. Feel free to use what ever word you want to describe it.

I like how nobody wants to talk about how latency greatly effects your chances to loot.
Cut the bullshit, cut the foreplay. That is what is all comes down to. If you have a shitty latency, ain't going to be looting as much as the guy with less than 50.


That's all it is.

If you have a shitty latency, you will die more too. Should GGG make the game easier because of that?
