So like you said, people get paranoid and kick people for no reason, people join "no-ninja" parties and proceed to grief and steal everyone's loot, people join "FFA" parties and whine about their loot getting stolen, it's just a bad situation right now and I see no upside for anyone to leaving it this way. I don't know if there's a more creative way to solve the problem than providing an option for instanced loot, or not, but that is one simple possible solution.

Simple way to solve this.. Instanced loot toggle switch next the character ICON on the character select screen. Which can me toggled on and off only at that screen. Now all loot is instanced but with NO party loot rewards. Only party EXP is shared. This will shut up everyone once and for all on this topic. Id bet anyone anything im right.

Most people in this thread, I think (myself included), are only asking for the option for something like that to be included. I don't think anyone is saying to remove the current system.

Yeah, and for that i made a suggestion and asked for maybe better ideas how to deal with it as right now, im just joining partys to atleast get SOME ep on them docks when not running maps and jeah, even hard to get them maps with 6players rushing to each item that dropps for other ppl instead of actually playing. Ah saw so many ppl die to get the loot wich had 'a timer on with their name just coz they where afraid of some1 taking it when they dont LOOT IT RIGHT AWAY dunno, like this its just plain stupid Kitava have mercy on your soul.

So basically GGG puts in a random loot timer for ranged classes to have a chance at drops. People confuse this 'chance timer' for it being their drop.. They then get MAD when other people pick it up after the timer expires. And then spend a SHIT LOAD of time complaining about NINJAS, GRIEFERS, LOOT WHORES and blah, blah blah... What ever. Believe me, i have other choice words for these morons.. But, i think 'moron' is the most tasteful word to describe someone as stupid as that.

" Worldbreaker wrote: I just wanted to post in here that I enjoy the FFA lootsystem very much. I have a group of guys I play with now where we will do 6 man docks. Since we all decimate everything on the map the only real challenge is competing for loot. Please do not change it. Also, do not give me the option to play an easier mode as it would seduce me into it, and my friends would also switch to it as well. As far as group play goes it is a very divided topic, yes I would play it, but no I don't want it. I could just imagine it. Fighting mobs then frolicking along the docks singing "tralalalala" holding hands and shooting rainbow lazers and adopting unicorns from the mythical pet shelter. Just leave it, most people that don't come to the forums to complain prefer the system as it stands now. We have 30k+ people playing the game and the same 10 or so replying to each other in this thread. I am glad GGG can see through the haze. Sorry, but this post is just plan stupid in my opinion. - You say you like FFA -> that's ok, no objections - you say don't give us option, because we would play with those options then -> how stupid is that? If you ACTUALLY LIKE FFA, why should you switch to that mode? If you like the challange, play with FFA, if you don't like it, then play instanced loot. Not everyone wants to have a challange with other people You can compare it with a zombie apocalypse: There will be people who are not trusting anyone and would always grief or kill them just to get something to survive a day longer. But then there are other people (like the ones who dont like FFA) who would like just to play in a party with others against monsters and not against each other. The current system only supports hostility between players and not teamplay...	Posted by AceNightfire#0980 on Feb 14, 2013, 1:03:21 PM Quote this Post
" Crizaig wrote: It's pretty stupid that you can't come up with a single compromise that doesn't penalize the NON-FFA players. Every single compromise you have come up with MUST penalize anyone who wants to play with loot options/instanced loot. I can already imagine you raging at home by smashing your toys with a baseball bat and punching yourself in the crotch because people get some better loot options without penalties. WTF is a NON-FFA player? What are you even talking about? ...lol People want instanced loot... Give then instanced loot and shaaad up. What, you want instanced loot with party reward drops too?......lmao. And the fact you like to imagine me doing things to my crotch is not a big suprise. I hope you imagine me in my superman thong.
