Enforcing a certain playstyle isn't a great design choice though.

Actually thats how you make a great game...

Then I guess path of exile isn't a great game. It doesn't enforce any playstyle at all. We have options, but we're asking for a few more for added... playstyles. Believe it or not.

maybe it was in one of the 800 pages past but do we actually know that people who dislike FFA are the majority? and if so by how much? I am sure they wouldn't want to lose any of their player base.

maybe they should just make a new league called ultra baby core for the people who cant handle any kind challenge or difficulty in their gameing and instead of being POE it could just link you to a copy of peggle extreme.

There have been multiple polls that have been down that show the majority of posters want a change to the system. Another poster totaled up the first ~200 responses in this thread and found a clear bias towards posters looking for change.

But I don’t need to prove that players don’t like the system. GGG knows this and are changing the system. The question that you need to answer is how can they maintain the loot competition that you enjoy while reducing player frustration?



And calling people whiners/babies/carebear is not productive

Regarding how many people like FFA vrs. ninja=kick.

I play hardcore league, and every public map group I have seen has been ninja=kick group.

Every. Single. One.

Not a single FFA map group have I ever seen in the public group menu.

Not. A. Single. One.

Sure that's not any good data but it's better than no data which for example this thread can't really give us.

Its because all the good games get filled up fast and are removed from the list.

No one wants to play with cry babys... Unless feeding on their tears in the main objective.

I have a few friends that are greedy as shit. You point is null when you say random groups only.

Chris nor GGG can enforce this. They can only impose such behavior in random groups.

Stop playing the dumb card.. We all know what hes saying.. Its the same thing msyelf and others have said a million times over.

No you. You state opinions and always think your opinion is superior. Please go away. You add nothing to the discussion other than "I am right. You are wrong for thinking this way."

At some point, You have to sit there and think...

Are FFA defenders all really dumb, pointless, mindless, clueless trolls or are you just pointing the finger in the wrong direction.

edit: I wrote something here, but it didn't appear... so I'll write it again.

We aren't the ones who are afraid of changing the loot system. In fact, FFA doesn't have to change at all. We are the ones asking for a change. You can stick with FFA if you choose to. Entirely optional on your end.

Dear Player, Mod and Dev Team


Just a Suggestion to end up the problem of looting timer.

Having an Option to choose when create a party :
1. FFA Loot (No Timer on all items drop)
2. Timer ON for 5~10 sec or even permanently belong to the player name on the ground

I think this is a Win-Win solution for this, how do u think ???



Thanks

It's a Good Option Dude...
Hope DEV / MOD can hear your suggestion on this

this is EXACTLY the problem with the FFA

it is a GRIEFING mechanic

griefers found their game

lol

we all thank you that you post this in this thread, when a dev see that a game mechanic is used to grief players they immediately change it....griefing is bad for business

we thank you (really)

I add plenty. You need to learn how to deal with things.

Grouping with strangers in this game is like having unprotected sex in Africa. Risky Business, but you know what the consequences are going into it.
