Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.

God forbid someone responds to the initial post asking for feedback. It says wonders of the current implementation if it gets posted about so much.

I was thinking about supporting this game by donating but after I saw this sense of indifference, I'm considering that I shouldn't.600+ pages and no respond, way to go.

The reason I am against options is simple.
If I have the option to play a more laidback playstyle for the same loot, that will be what I go with no matter what. Less work, same rewards is retarded not to. It would either need to be one or the other, OR instanced/longer timers would need a loot penalty to keep people interested in FFA loot. Yes private parties would benefit from FFA but private parties ALWAYS benefit in any game that offers teamplay. For people without friends or don't want to form a dedicated group they would simply choose instanced. Who the hell wants to play with randoms when they can take drops after the timer expires? I don't but do at the same time because the other 5 people are dealing with the same shit I am. Almost any game with partying/grouping has threads with people bitching about dedicated groups having an advantage with the same response "Having friends is unfair?" trololol If I have the option to play one handed leaned back in my computer chair comfortably clicking things casually, or slouched over my keyboard like a senior citizen figurine clicking like I have tourettes, I know what one I would play. Archaic or not there should be some form of nostalgia in gaming. I don't see you guys posting in fucking braid/super meatboy/retro city rampage forums bitching about the graphics being 2D because it is an archaic design. Some things work, but take work to work. Now go ahead and poke holes in this shit even though I fucking agreed with you. Idiots. " Play the game, there is their response. Last edited by Worldbreaker#6569 on Feb 19, 2013, 9:02:55 AM

" The only thing really close was an informal post on reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/17i5sp/i_never_had_a_problem_with_the_drop_system_until/c85zgvv " Right, just like everyone plays Default instead of Hardcore because it is also more laidback. I for one agree with you about having some penalties for guarantees of loot though. Last edited by Reedman#4347 on Feb 19, 2013, 9:09:12 AM

" stopped reading there then you are not hardcore as you state you are...you are just a wussie who finds fun in griefing slow connection/pc players end of story you are a sad person When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself

" Yea you are a retard. Stop reading when it suits you, you and stryker must be related. I also said just a bit down from there that other players have to deal with the same thing, but since you stopped reading I don't expect you to understand. Point out where I said I like griefing people? Oh you can't. Keep making shit up, I mean thats been what your Instanced Loot argument is revolved around, making shit up. |

" I already told you: Slayer, another fervent ffa proponent already said that he would never choose instanced. He would always choose ffa because this loot system caters to his playstyle. Does he mean he is "retarded" as you so adequately put it? And I bet there are others ffa fans that would do the same. Are they "retarded"? Now, this means that probably you have a problem, maybe you're not so "hardcore" as you thought to be. So your so called "argument" is not good at all.

" well from what i read so far, even if they added options then there still would be no problems. i keep seeing all of these pro ffa types here. so if they did add options you would still have your games. oh wait maybe they are all just talking shit and would join the non ffa games. things to ponder |

" This is just BS. I for one think folks need to pay attention to the other folks saying things like 'the loot timer slows down game-play'. I wish they would lose the timer, as it is a total annoyance and only gives people the impression that they have ownership of loot. I would never ever *steal* an item, I do not care what it is, that someone else in the group wanted. I hate HATE that folks continue this idea that because a person prefers an FFA system, that they must be some kind of a jerk. After 6 billion threads on the topic, I really hope everyone screaming for options gets them, because then I can just choose FFA and lose the annoying timers. In the mean time, stop trying to paint folks like me as guaranteed asshats. Thank you for graciously understanding my vent. |

" I hope the shit never gets implemented now, I will go enjoy the game, you enjoy petitioning for something that will never happen. ENJOY! After the last few posts from you ignorant trashcans, you deserve to play solo instead of ruining the game for others. Good day, god bless. I am glad it is only the same few of you voting for this, just goes to show a MAJORITY of the community prefers the game in it's current state. Proof? 60k players, 7-12 people in here continuously complaining about it. I won't stick around for you to do the math. Yep, now I don't want it because you do. There is some logic for you! " They will stop reading there as it opposes their opinion. Last edited by Worldbreaker#6569 on Feb 19, 2013, 9:31:20 AM
