POE= Ninja looting game?

At this point and time I really couldn't care less what happens with the loot system if it will just shut all the people whining about it up...

I'm tired of seeing 1-2 new threads every day about the loot system and then you open them and see the same people regurgitating the same points as the previous threads and multiple times in each thread.

You have made threads about it, you don't like it, you stated this over and over. Now please shut up the devs look at the forums and they will decide if they want to make a change.

Oh, and something to think about, it keeps being stated that the majority don't like the loot system. There is zero proof of that because nobody that enjoys the current system is going around making threads just to say "I like the system so don't change it".

You should also come up with a better argument than D3 did instanced looting. Most of the people that came to PoE really early and have come to enjoy the current system came from D3 because of the huge disappointment that was D3.


Now on to my opinion about the loot system (which I'll only post 1 time in 1 thread).

The only time that I've had any issues with not being able to pick up the items allocated to me within the timer is when I'm in a dungeon and somebody is running off by themselves, and in that case let them have it. They are doing the work clearing rooms by themselves, and on the flipside I get anything that they left behind by running ahead, so its even.
During boss fights its really not difficult to see that the bosses HP is low, maybe I should move a few steps closer (still outside extreme danger zone as a ranged) just in case something good drops for me. Its very rare that I don't get something good, maybe I won't get every single item that initially has my name on it, but in most cases I don't need every item with my name.

The other thing is, if you lose something good because somebody took it (and I don't mean general rares, I'm talking uniques or gems or good orbs). Put that person on ignore and tell everyone in global chat, maybe as a community we should start a thread with people that are known to ninja loot and spread the word, then everybody who wants to play pub games but keeps complaining that there loot gets ninja'd will have a reference of people to play with and not play with.

Start adding the people who are pleasant to play with in pub as friends, and build relationships instead of just complaining about the ones that burned you.

Oh and btw, even as a ranged character its generally not that difficult to run up and grab loot during a mob fight, you may just need to be checking more often/paying better attention.


And before anybody says anything, I'm not a D2 fanboy...I never played D2 my first ARPG was D3.

The fact of the matter is the more people post about it, the faster something will be done. :/

There's actually been a few polls now and everyone of them was heavily in favor of a change away from FFA.

People are making "I like the system so don't change it" threads by the way.

That isn't entirely true, it would be more effective to have 1 thread with 500 posts that to have 20 threads that get 50 posts and then fizzle out. So yes post about it if you are passionate about it, but there is no need to post the same things multiple times in the same threads.

And regarding changing anything based on forum threads or polls, that is usually hard pressed to happen because a mass amount of people don't/won't ever post or even read the forums (at least that has been my experience in past with other forums).

Open up the public party list at any time of day you see "No Ninja" "Ninja=Kick" "Respect loot drops" I think that means there are a lot of people that dislike the loot system. Just about every time I join a public party someone is kicked for loot sniping whether I am the party leader or not.

I see no such parties. Seems like a lot of parties that were still looking for people. Many had 5/6.

So........ Everything seems A.O.K Obviously not so doom and gloom.

.........Am i the only one around here who likes the competitive looting?

Your not alone.
Why are people coming on here to try to change the game as it is intended to be? Do I go on wow and say why not give everyone their own loot? Ridiculous, if you guys hate it so much why still play? Me and I'm sure many of us who paid, liked the way mechanics worked, that's why we donated in cb. I'm not saying I'm better cuz I paid, its that we actually liked the way it is and decided we invest in this game the way it is.

What exactly is competitive about this weaksauce PvP FFA looting? Competing to see who can be the biggest jackass?

I wish you were the only one who liked it, I might actually enjoy partying instead of having to play solo to avoid you and everyone like you.

1. people have been complaining about this in diablo 2 time, anyone telling othervise is a liar or doesnt know what his talking about
2. anyone claiming that this is solved by properly naming your group and kicking anyone who ninja loots is also a liar because after someone has been caught ninja looting the damage has already been done and someone has potentially already lost their valuable item and there is nothing group can or could have done to stop it

im not really for instanced loot as i dont want a situation where a rare item that could have helped someone in a group just stays laying there because the person who droped it doesnt want it, but the timer should be at least 20sec so i can take my fing time to decide if i want something or not
and 5l/6l/6s should also have a timer and if im not mistaken they dont yet
