I was honest about it. You may have your own petty expectations about who deserves what by doing more, but its all about who clicked it first. You're lack of understanding, or willingness to understand such a simple concept is almost scary.

Petty? LOL

You apparently can't step outside the FFA thinking bubble and answer the question. Forget FFA for a moment and ask yourself if a player really DESERVES more loot for being faster. You apparently really think that which is fine. But we simply don't believe that which is why FFA sucks for us. In our opinions people don't deserve more loot for winning the "focus on loot drops clicking contest." Its not skillful and really really stupid.

Its not even my opinion, its exactly how the game works. You either adapt to the game, or you get no loot. Its a brutally simple concept that you absolutely refuse to acknowledge.

Yes we all get how FFA works. Did you really think that we didn't? When the hell did I ever refuse to acknowledge it? Why don't you leave your bubble of understanding and try to think like the other side.

You keep saying "Does he REALLY deserve it", as if asking that makes sense. Its in his inventory, he must have deserved it. If he felt he didn't he wouldn't have picked it up.

What the hell? Seriously? You really just said that its in his inventory so he MUST have deserved it? Wow. You think if he felt that he didn't deserve it he would have left it on the ground? I am stunned by how dumb that sounds. Honestly.

I'm not sure how much more simple I can make this.

I completely agree that what you type is extremely simple. I wish you could think a little more outside of the FFA box of understanding.

As far as the game is concerned, no. It does not matter you helped kill mobs,

This right here is the problem. I never ever asked you "as far as the game is concerned". I asked YOU. I already know what FFA thinks. It astounds me that any person believes that the person DESERVING of any loot is the person who.....

1) Stands on a drop preventing others from getting it.

2) Has a better internet connection.

3) Just happened to be closer (perhaps from being melee).

4) Focuses all attention on the drops instead of the monsters.

Most rational adults would say that the whole team deserves the loot for playing the game and contributing. The same way you earn and deserve loot in single player.

The current system is fine in my opinion. Pay attention and you'll get loot, don't and you won't.

I say this and I'm playing a 70 Hardcore ranged Witch who's supposed to stay in the back, so I can safely say I am playing the hardest role in order to get loot here. One over-extension for loot and I can end up dead. And I fully support it.

If you want to play a facerolling-auto-loot-auto-xp-never-die game, go back to Torchlight II / Diablo III. Path of Exile is for experienced gamers who enjoy challenge and some competition.

Exp is your reward. Not dying is your rward. Not the loot. You want loot either play alone or group with people who share your same concept of the game.

You can't expect random pugs to work as a team and share. This is not pre-school.

Way to bring stuff up that has no bearing on this discussion at all.

When did the devs say that this game was only for those who like competition? I think your wrong.

Like i said many times, exactly like a brainwashed religious cult: using pathetic and completely out of logic argumentation.
They would even swore that 1+1 = 3 if that would helm them in any little way.
Disgusting

If you think TL2 is anything like that, then you've obviously never played Torchlight II. Plenty of hard fights in that game.

Thats your opinion. In my opinion if your working together for a common goal your essentially a team. Why do you think people group up at all?

Your opinion. I disagree. I bet the devs even refer to the loot as a reward for killing monsters. It makes sense. You kill the monsters so you deserve the reward that comes from that which would be the shiny stuff that falls from their bodies. If its not a reward what is it? A "bonus" like the other guy said? Ya ok a "bonus", what does that even mean? A bonus reward I guess lol.

Uh, I have already been doing that? Did you think that I wasn't? Maybe I am just in here talking for no reason.

Of course I don't expect them to share. Thats kind of why I have been supporting non competitive systems. What does preschool have to do with anything?

No need to insult people speaking the truth.

There is nothing more annoying than people who refer to their opinions as the truth. Seriously get over yourself.
