Its crap. Give us real options. FFA or Instanced, party leader chooses, problem solved.

Yeah. This trend just seems to be leading to a system where no one is happy.

I agree, at this point it needs to be one system, not a mix of the worst faults of all of them.

Agreed. They need to stop with the compromise and just give options. The current system is a bastardized FFA. People who like FFA would rather play true FFA, people who like instanced would rather play true instanced... it makes no sense to create a system that displeases both sides. OPTIONS!

Not before I pull out my camera.

I love how I made a thread about removing names it getting locked and then they remove names ;)

You already have an option, play another game with instanced loot and leave this game alone. The game will be doing fine without you.

"Options" cause problems. What if I want to join a full/semi-full docks farming party, but all the available parties are running the loot system that I don't like? It makes finding a party I'm comfortable with more scarce. You're taking the current number of open parties and effectively splitting them to accommodate one playstyle or another, instead of both. Do you stop there with meta options? What happens when it's impossible to find a party that has all the options you want to play with? You can create one, but the pool of people your meta options will attract is now smaller. Forming a party will become this extremely slow and inefficient matchmaking debacle.

The better option is to find a single loot system that everyone can live with, and the current system does exactly that. It provides elements of both FFA and instanced. It's fine exactly the way it is.

If you can't play the game without instanced loot, then go play D3. If you can't play the game without true FFA, then go play D2. Splitting the community in half with meta options in parties is NOT the answer to getting more people to party, it's the exact opposite of the answer.

Seriously tho...

Im sick of seeing the word OPTIONS. I would like an option for a forum MUTE button just to mute these players once and for all.


Its never, ever gonna happen. As long as real options already exists.


Loot option is just one step toward Care A Lot..

Yeah i agreed,mute button sould exist to mute people like you.

Better a care a lot system that a chaotic bloody bullshit mess one where people stop for 5+ second on each orb/loot extending map run by 10+ minutes sometimes.

If you wish to spend your time waiting on loot so be it but that not the way that i roughly estimate 50%+ community want it.

Well I say that instanced loot will cause 30% of all loot to go to waste, and therefor result in 780 extra deaths a month from under-geared players.

I also say that 82.33333333% of the community prefer ninjas to pirates.

...and that 62% of facts are made up on the spot.
