Boycott looting system with your $$$

I don't like the loot system, I think it's unfair, it adds unnecessary stress, makes people concentrate more on loot than teamwork, enforces ninja looting and thieving, promotes indecency.

I hate how everyone says this game is for hardcores, well then, I guess this game doesn't deserve my money then, since I'm softcore(even though I'm a decent person, I spent $20 because I felt developers needed something for a great game with a crap loot system), anyway I'll just continue playing by myself until I get bored and quit.

So all the softcores players out there just remember that this milkshake brings all the hardcores to the game, and in the end from even what the developers said themselves that they don't care about us softcores.

Well then, don't care about our money!

Play on softcore brothers, play with yourselves like I have since I can't enjoy this horrid party loot system.

Enough people boycotting brings the change we want/need!

Here are some suggestions I saw in another thread that everyone can be happy with:

Options when creating a game:

* Free-for-all
* Free-for-all with timer (>1 second...)
* Instanced

I know the devs want to keep the "competitive, desolate, gritty" edge on the game, but guys, let's face it, most people (myself included) will just solo and NEVER play in groups. This is a game about character progression. I don't want to FIGHT over loot, or even worry about it, ever. So I play alone.

Path of exile is all about options and customization, is it not? I mean, you have a skill tree with 1350 points but yet you limit the loot mechanics, which are INTEGRAL in progression and go alongside builds. Think about it.

This needs to be addressed. You don't have a 300 page thread (and several other hundred page thread) when people are happy about a game mechanic.

I love you GGG but this is first and foremost your biggest concern in gameplay mechanics right now.

Boycott spending optional money for a free game? Some people are so greedy!

You might get less hate if you worded this a bit differently. But yes, the system sucks right now.

Yah what didn't you understand about that?

I've always enjoyed FFA loot. I either play solo, because I enjoy to, or play with friends. Friends I met playing/talking to in global. If you meet people you trust then FFA won't bother you. If you want to play in public parties expect cutthroat behavior. This has been talked about to death, I don't see GGG changing it.

Cry much ? Go play that other game that holds your hand and you can just buy your loot with real money.

Have fun there in your little boycott van, by yourself.

FFA loot is what it is. "Unfair"? Says you. Nobody is forcing you to play with people you don't know. Instead of making childish topics like this one, make a post asking for non-ninja looting players. Friend them, play with them, and if they DO turn out to be asshats, unfriend them and try again.

But no, that would hurt your sense of entitlement. Instead, GGG should bend to YOUR wishes, god forbid you actually solve a problem yourself.

Obviously wanting a few more seconds to loot because I'm too busy concentrating on team fights means I'm entitled...good job man, your logic is sound.

As noble as your idea sounds, OP, I don't believe an indie company deserves to be hurt because of a looting system.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for more agreeable compromises like giving group leaders the ability to choose how timers work, GGG currently cannot handle having income severely impacted.
