mmm seen this post before on another topic didn't i? but entitlement is not right word to use. but that's my opinion.

Actually, as much as I hate that term, this is one of the rare cases I believe it fits.

If you search back in this very thread, tens or hundreds of pages ago, you will notice i posted about the "false sense of entitlement" that this "Loot Timer" has given people. GGG shot themselves in the foot by adding this rediculous timer.

FFA means no names, no timer, best of luck.

It shoulda stayed that way.

As is, this is just fucking with people minds psychologicaly.

Fully agree with you. Loot is never "yours" to begin with, you just got lucky and a timer to pick it up as opposed to the others in your party.

lol when i did play loot was mine anyway. i just played solo. got boring though. so waiting to see if loot gets fixed or time to move on. dont care either way. my gain thier loss money wise

Thoughts on the "2 party systems" suggestion? (again >_> )

In the near future they will fix the Loot system so people actually get their loot and don't have it stolen??
I'm tired of having my stuff stolen from me, or being simple blocked by other players making it impossible to get my stuff.
I love this game entirely, give it a 9.75/10 if it wasn't for the Loot system. -_-
Honestly takes all the fun outta it because it makes me not want to group up and play with others, do you see them fixing this in the future???
If not, I'm probable gonna quit..only serious replies, trolling or being rude is not what I want.

Loot is FFA. Loot isn't stolen. Timers don't communicate that to players very well. It's a design failure for sure.

I find it so interesting people are wasting their time here still rather than playing the game.

Just wow.

And I find it incredibly satisfying to know that no matter what is said, GGG will likely stick with their vision of the game. Which is awesome, for me at least.

It's just, ugh, how to put it?

Watching lemmings run off a cliff is fun. I don't know why....

If that response is because I'm here and not playing the game when I say that, I'm on a public computer and there isn't a portable version of PoE yet.

Sad day. :(

i find more fun here than farming merci docks endless w/o a map droppping

Taking the loot timers on rares and uniques and increasing them by 50% (or should I say, making them 50% more, hue hue) would make a lot of people happy and very few people unhappy.

This is a core part of the game that is frustrating for so many people. To a lot of us this issue falls in the category of, "this game is great, except for...". To many, I'm sure this acts as a barrier to making their first microtransaction.

That seems like a very large opinion.

This brings up an interesting question however,

Why isn't there a poll system? Of any kind?

I'd love to just see the numbers behind these things. Exactly how many people prefer allocation over FFA or vice versa.

Really though, that's such a simple thing to make. Make it so 1 IP = 1 vote and no more and you have to be registered to do it. That'd be lovely.

I think we'd find out "what the community wanted" much faster that way. And the forum can be where we get the questions to ask and answers to choose from for the polls.
