it is not challenge for range users to loot only
me as marauder have found my self in SOOO much troubles trying to collect loot which was right in front of my Nose! that i cannot begin to explain

loot system is fundamentally wrong in its core
and unless revised from core,every attempt to fix the problem will only create it worse

That is huge statment that you make on your chair...

Blaming the system is one way to see the problem, maybe you are just not so quick as others ...

You guys need to understand that we are all scums on an Island for surviving, the loot system is actually perfect, the timer is a bonus saying that you see some items before others, that is all, be glad they made it.

If your crys about egoloots succeed, I'll hope they make the "Teddybear league" for you and your palls.
I've been "stolen" many loots and I'm not the stealer type, till I find this system really fine and in adequation with the game storyboard.
It is a pleasure for me to see a chaos orb droping, having the opportunity to steal it but letting the "owner" of the loot getting it, I bet he got a huge adrenaline rush, and me, I'm proud of what I am ;)

So you are only a customer if you have to pay to access the business. So everyone at a restaurant who didn’t pay to get in the door, are not classified as customers???
Game is F2P not free you need to read up on GGG business model.

Stop telling GGG customers to leave.

This thread is RIDICULOUS. I've never seen so much tears. If we could use these tears to fuel a power source, we will have unlimited power for the next decade. This is how GGG made their game. You don't like it? Don't party with strangers. Problem solved, thank you. Oh wait? You like partying with strangers and getting loot without competition? Then don't play the game, it's not the game for you, there's other games that are more tailored to that loot system that you will enjoy, it's that simple.

You heard the self serving geek nobody, let's completely shut down random grouping to please just him and others like him.

See guys ? You really wanna be like this ?

This is the person who resembles the cancer cell in a society.No suggestion, no solution, no empathy.For once, try to use your brain and see this from another perspective.Imagine that you dont have an ultra fast computer and you got latency that is higher than others.You need xp and invited 5 people to your group.They looted their own items in your map and they also looted your currencies and items before you could do anything.What would you think about ffa loot.

"You like partying with strangers and getting loot without competition?" he says

Since when looting has become a competition ? Why would I have to compete my one of a million good RNG roll ? Are we savages ?

Have you ever seen a game that advertises ffa loot ? No.

"Register now and compete in our FFA looting system.You can steal anyone's item if they fail to loot in time.You don't have to think about their condition, just loot it and be proud of yourself."


PS: I rarely got my items stolen because I don't group with randoms.I'm lucky that I have friends but not everyone does.So that's why I'm doing this, I'm doing empathy.

Now stop your "I DONT CARE, DONT PLAY, GO AWAY, YOU NORMAL PLAYERS" attitude and try to look from another perspective.Learn to do empathy.GGG can have their rules, but rules change in time, you have to keep your community happy.

If you don't want an alternative looting system, it basically means you don't care about people who does not share the same idea as you do and you are proud of stealing and getting advantage from those people.

Try to read and understand for once, and make a good explanation about your case.I still don't see why there should be a ffa looting system, since it's not a competition.

I have no solution because there is no problem here for a solution! And my suggestion was for people who can't handle the loot system to stop playing the game and find a more enjoyable game for them.

Wow, it's like talking to a wall.

The counter is too short, let it run twice as long.

[Everything you said]

I care for empathy. Trust me on that, but, at the same time, you have to understand.

This game was made to be cut throat. It's it's purpose. It's the atmosphere of the world (Wraeclast). That's how the devs made it. That's how they want it.

"It's not a competition" (paraphrased). But it is. That's the point. That's what the devs want the world to be. They want us to fight over loot. They want us to feel like we could die or have our crap stolen at any moment.

That's the nature of the game.

If you don't like it, get out. I say that not because it's how I want it, but it's how THEY want it. They being the devs.

If you want empathy. If you want a game that doesn't have competition. Go elsewhere. This isn't the place for you.

And I want it that way too. This isn't a game about compromise. It's about fighting to win. Period.

Edit: You can give feedback, and discuss what you don't and do like in the game.

My problem is when you ask the community to agree or even attempt to with what you say when it's so against what the game is about.
