This way, there isn't an issue of ping and/or ranged vs. melee on who can click on the item first. 2. What if there was something in place that would *randomly* assign the item(s) dropped to a/the player(s) in a group? I say random purposely as in there wouldn't be a pattern in who the item(s) are assigned to. This way, the ping and ranged vs. melee issue isn't there. I could almost see # 2 is being a possibility, but #1? are u kidding me? ahhhhh /facepalm / yeah, i was just throwing out some possible alternatives (yes, that first one really is pretty bad. i think the second one does sound like a viable alternative.

I think I just want a game like this to have that open rpg element where players can be evil if they choose to and do what they please. Maybe I'm just an evil griefer afterall.

Sure we do, we just don't like it, especially when we're just unable to compete with the master clickers out there. And yeah, Tenka, when I posted the optional stuff, I meant it being game by game or group by group. No way would it work player by player.

A free for all is ok. But i prefer the personalized one because there will be botter again. There is no online game of this kind where no bots exist.	Posted by Kanthos#7224 on Sep 7, 2010, 12:59:23 AM Quote this Post
two opinions and then we'll have two option in party system and it'll depend on the leaders - if leaders wanna FFA, then that's it. - if leaders wanna another option, then that's it. Nobody can force us to join a party we feel sick of it, rite? :D Some who's supporting non-FFA just asking for an option in party system, NOT REMOVE THIS FEATURE! So you guys don't need to argue so much about this issue. A coin always has two sides :P	Posted by walle89#1382 on Sep 7, 2010, 2:45:11 AM Quote this Post
GGG shouldn't fall into this trap. Your target audience is certain... He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.	Posted by permaximum#7706 on Sep 7, 2010, 3:27:38 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
It actually doesn't need to be a party option, it could be a personal choice in the options menu. If I choose to see my own loot, then that's all I see. Everyone else who doesn't use the option in the party fights over loot. I am a poor freezingly cold soul So far from where I intended to go	Posted by Oasisbhrnw#4133 on Sep 7, 2010, 6:38:42 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
