Talking has nothing to do with LOOT.

Actually it does, I rarely have time to speak in so called ninja groups since if I do I make a conscious risk of adding extra reaction time in case loot drops. It really is a deterrent.

Also most groups kill monsters pretty much nonstop which means there are no quiet moments to stop to type, whereas if loot wasn't dropping all the time(or I didn't have to rush for it) I could just hang back from one encounter to say what I want to without any risk except death - which is kind of minimal if I hang back.

I have lost loots including a unique because of typing to chat.

This makes your statement false.

And then you respond (or ignore this since you can't fix your fault) that it's my problem. My problem or not, it has to do with loot.

Also, people complaining about loot are NOT the majority. This thread is proof of that. Just because it has 700+ pages its not filled with 700+ different complaints.

That's a pretty large assumption to make. We need polls before we can make random claims like this, though based on the amount of people on either side of the debate in this thread (not pages, PEOPLE), I'd argue that FFA defenders are the minority. Still though, I have no evidence to back this up, but at least I accept that.

I can totally see how GGG intended the game to be that way. I really wish people like you could see that and enjoy it as is.

I can totally see how a sociopath intended someone's life to end that way. I really wish people like you could see that and enjoy your death as it comes.

Third parties' visions are not solid arguments.

Vooodu the developers are going to change the system because they have access to data that you do not.

The question for you is how do they keep the loot competition that you enjoy? Add FFA as an option? Use the current system in races? Add a cut throat league? Add FFA as a potential map mod? Something else?

Vooodu I really want your feedback on the subject. Assume that GGG adds instanced as an option. What can they do to preserve some of the game play that you enjoy?

You could argue that but you really have no proof. Alot of people have posted here to defend FFA only to get trolled out by people who hate FFA loot. Also, most people don't bother beause this thread is basically a dump thread.

Hell, its safe to say alot people just don't give a shit and figgure loot is fin as is.




But, how about this?

How about if every single post on this thread was a legit complaint by different players.


Lets say this thread was 800 pages of complaints.. Well, even that would dwarf the current number of people playing the game that simply enjoy it as is.

What does that even mean?

I hope they never change the looting system.

Not to be a dick or anything, but if all you guys do is fight, when do you find time to actually play the game?

Well, just as long as you realize none of this is getting anybody anywhere... ;)

I'm taking a break from the game. So is a friend of mine, which I pretty much play with 24/7 anyways. Was also afraid of getting burned out.

You are delusional. They already have and you know why? because the looting system is flawed, and STILL is. If you think the system could not be improved at all, then I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Options would wreck the game. IMO. I hate the term and thought of 'options' when it comes to loot.

Id play the path of least resistance. Just like everyone else would.

Id rather them pick one kind of loot option and say shut up and deal with it. Id prefer full FFA but could live with instanced loot.

IF thats not the case il pick the easiest 'option'.
