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

I feel like the timer should be slightly extended, as I have lost every good currency drop/unique drop due to me clicking the item several times without my character even moving an inch to collect it. I lag a quite a bit in any party that has 5+ people and I only get 1/10 of my drop simply because when i click on my loot it almost never registers. I feel if i had an extra few seconds to mash my loot there is a chance i might be able to get some of it.

I hope you guys come up with a solution for yourselves soon. Really, I do.

Because God knows how little will be done in regards to the current proposed solutions. Not in the sense that GGG doesn't listen, but that they aren't willing to compromise the game they are making for the sake of keeping a sect of players who aren't willing to compromise themselves.

Whether that's right or not, is quite irrelevant.

Sorry but you're not GGG nor do you speak for them. And if they don't listen, so what? I haven't given them a cent and i certainly don't intend to if they ignore this problem.

The idea that they won't compromise their game is a fallacy. They have already done so with the stupid timers among other things.

Things COULD change. I don't think any one of us could know what will happen, but their silence is a bit... frustrating.

I know this thread is meant to keep the noise isolated, but if that's all this thread was made for? Then that's just foolish.

Lucky for them there is no time "limit", but you could say that time isn't working for them either.

I think their silence speaks volumes about how this is gonna go.

Edit: Which is why I'm optimistic about it. :)

Yeah, it makes it harder for the glass cannon, ranged and anyone else focused on DPSing mobs to get loot but it makes it easier for leechers who don't contribute anything to groups to get much more than they would in instanced.

Pretty much.

It would be nice if I could focus on actually playing the game, instead of playing "whack a loot". I honestly can't see how anyone could prefer FFA loot unless they enjoy griefing. The screen would be so much clearer and less cluttered as well if they moved to instanced loot.

I enjoy the FFA loot system. I also enjoy helping people. :)
