POE= Ninja looting game?

I never amaze to be suprised, but how can a game who is centric on items allow ninja looting all the time?
Why should I be playing with people who Ninja loot all the time?
why should I even recomend a game as such when for example Diablo 3 got it all right?

I would assume a game would support a team based game as long your not into PVP which is a whole different thing.

I you know play for fun and seeing such behaviours being supported by a developer kinda miss the point.
Naturally there might be a hidden fix been worked on or the developer plays the game with friends all the time but I for one dont like adhd kids running around getting stuff that drops for me.

You got a ton of things right, and then miss the one thing about a RTS game?

Loot pickup?

GGG wants the game to be competitive, even when it comes to picking up loot. no one can take loot allocated to you while the timer is active, so they aren't ninja-looting.

if you have poor encounters with a team, leave the team or party with friends.

Just dont party in pubs, it makes no sense whatsoever (except if you are stuck and cant proceed without help).

From act 3 cruel onwards, a public group that is completely disorganized is much slower than solo players anyways.
As additional disincentive, you are very likely to die in a public group because instead of killing the overly buffed enemies that GGG are throwing at us, you are trying to reach the item that has been allocated to you.

Its a complete shitfest. Play on your own and take all the additional loot for yourself.

Just as the beginning of diablo 3 the difficulty increase while playing in party was too high, this fight for drop is a way to PUNISH playing in a party and promote playing solo.

Diablo 3 got it all right

Lol this is when I stopped reading, if you want to play a bad game go play it. Otherwise pick up your loot in the time that they give you. If someone "steals" it from you it just means you were too slow. Seems you are just mad at yourself.

First the timer must be lengthened, it's far too short right now. Secondly, I agree with the OP the gamecentric premise is to adventure and advance in talents and loot...the fact that a dagger/claw that i need drops and a Witch picks it up along with everything else she can click in time is completely ridiculous.

This is a HUGE issue for many players and I think it needs to be addressed.

this is is stupid , seen so many people say this over and over, why dont you think about it instead of shouting about.

if you DONT want to share any loot with any one, go SOLO instead ,

if you got friends to play with to share group loot, good go group up, but dont tell that the game mechanics are bad, they can be improved at a margin, but i sure dont want this to be an other shitty mechanic with Private loot like mmo's and other rpg do. really dislike it.

just go solo then for your personal loot hole, srly.

It is the people who need to change not the "game", its an co op game and if there are people who dont ask if you like that item i picked up, then dont bother playing with them. how had can this to be to understand.

I agree with the OP, I know that competition on loot is a desire from GGG but something has to be done with the timer, because sometimes you are focused on the mobs and not the loot, at least make the loot picking of the timed items more visible.

or make loot not for all players. like D3 works right now

what is the Idea of playing a game with other players if you are gonna end up playing solo, the idea is encouraging group play IMO...

your reply seriously is not a good one for the looting issue

*sigh* here's another example of someone who's never played DI and DII. Go play both of those to give yourself a little perspective, then you'll be able to better judge what's good and what's not. If this game isn't your style, don't play, maybe you just don't like H&S, I don't know. But yeah, it's a part of the game.
