Then stop asking for complex solutions... Dive, hide, etc... These are all complex.


If you want instanced loot, ask for a toggle option at the character select screen.

That way any game you play wether alone or in multiplayer will drop single player loot for you. All the time.....

What? No taht is the least complex way to solve it.

Do you think they can just add a toggle button at character selection and out of nowhere instanced loot will appear??

If we're looking for combat centered gameplay, then why are we so focused on loot all the time?

Well, honestly.

If you play public games your main focus should be exp not loot.

You farm alone or with friends.

This is a concept i grasped very quickly. I expect to get nothing when playing pubs. So, im rarely disapointed.

You don't neglect loot though. You gain xp naturally as you progress and clear out the map. I would rather be attentive to the loot and make sure a unique didnt drop when I wasn't looking, than waste the 5 seconds or so it took to read through the item that were dropped.

Its not that i neglect loot. I just don't care. I get or take what i can, but it really doesn't matter. Nothing in pub games will make or break me at all. If i started to care about every single drop i missed id loose my damn mind.

Just like in D2. I never farmed with pubs. I leveld with pubs for fun.

I get a TON more stuff farming alone doing a run or two in what ever area i choose. Pubs games are just for fun and leveling and that it.


I guess its about mind over matter...

Since I do maps I cant even imagine to play this ninja game in high level areas.

When I farm maps it happens often that when I clear a room stuff like 1 Alch, 1 Map + a 6 socket item lies on the ground but I cant reach it yet because I could die extremly fast (I am a summoner)

Today I had this situation and I though: "Wow, I am so glad that I play alone because I would have never got those item on the ground, because I would have been a 2-hit" (This happend in the thicket map at the boss who has rain of arrows)

FFA loot and Timer is just a stupid concept. For me partying up for maps is not even imaginable.
Its not compatible with my playstyle/build and I guess every other range has the same problem.

The current lootsystem forces people to "play bad". (=dive enemies for loot)
This completly breaks the lootsystem and is such a heavy weighting arguement that FFA loot is not viable in any way...

Allow roomleaders to set rules on loot distribution

and BÄM u are off all problems. why searching for ONE particular solution that only a % of all players can be happy, if you can get all ppl set their own rule sets to be happoy with?

Whenever GGG implements league systems, allow me to make a permanent league where I can cancel FFA loot. I would pay $10 for that, immediately, on the spot, like BAM, done. Well only if I could transfer my current character out of default into it.
