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

Create your own group with looting rules kicking while required, play with friend, play alone, there are enough mannered players so you should not suffer the ninja looting.

" While partially being against the FFA loot system, I really seeing why it hard for many people to agree with you - This isn't an MMO therefore a loot roll each time something useful drops is great for mmorpg games this is supposed to be action, There are currently 3 known ways to do it for this type of games as far as I'm aware: 1) FFA loot (like now), 2) Hidden and private loot for each player or 3) Like in guild wars 1 where you see the item but it's reserved until someone picks it and drops it. I personally would prefer the 3rd. My bigger problem in all this story is the people who so oppose the idea me and many other suggested before - an option to select which type you want upon creating a party get bashed so badly by so called hard-core players with a very narrow point of view which sums up mainly with: "I like the loot as is so your idea sucks and gtfo".

"even 1 ninja looter is enough to make a person stop playing if the right item is stolen. And when a unique falls and someone ninja it... Well if its a group of asshole friends then man it can create shitloads of drama (remember the people killing people irl for an item in game?) Also, I don't know what other people play games for - But I personally play for my pure enjoyment and what I want at that time. So for me seeing how a totally cut-throat atmosphere can be good for the game or community totally deludes me. And while many people say that if you want a fun and not hard game gtfo, i'd say if I want a real cut-throat or really hard game i'd go play a rogue-like game instead. I personally want action with actual difficulty BUT not with mechanics but with the content.

" so you purpose that the community should fix the crap dev shoved at us? no sir we are here to provide feedback, we have posted countless times that FFA system has more negative effects in the gameplay than IL and we have proved that IL has only positive effects. the community shouldnt' fix all the problems of a game in the end for US (customers/players) PoE should be fun but for THEM (GGG,Devs) is BUSINESS this is the HARD truth in the end we are PAYING to have FUN and GGG is GETTING payed to give us FUN, not TEACH us WHAT fun is... end of story When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself

So tired of making multi-paragraph arguments on this subject, only to have them ignored by loud, angry trolls. So, yeah, let's just join the masses and start shouting at each other.
GAY MARRIAGE!!! ...oh, oops. Wrong thread... ...or is it? |

" Giving an easier control over the desired party options will help greatly to improve quality of parties and will not hurt the people who so desire ffa loot. so I find your post written with a narrow view of your own opinion. " So I take it that you agree with the fact that the lack of choice is the limiter rather the way loot is distributed? EDIT: I forgot to add that I agree with killbilly on the fact that too many games are trying to force us to like the system they created. (diablo 3, guild wars 2 and many more modern ideas) and yet the most successful idea in the industry today is giving more choice to more people as much as physically possible.

i think the big problem is not only for range people, but also with big amount of drops in some situations.
if all the ground is covered of items i need to move in all positions to try to see items and i can easy loose them in a short time i would like to propose a little announcement on right side (above players join/left party announcements) for only rare/unique/gems/currency. with a short time i can take those items by click on the announcement and not on the ground -thread/977824 (standard elite shop) ~ -thread/965731 (standard cheap shop)
