Don't talk to me about 10 chaos orbs. And this is the biggest problem with the current loot system. Every time you lose a chaos orb you feel entitled to take from someone else. This behavior places needless strain upon the player community. IGN: Wrathmar * Paulie * Client	Posted by wrathmar#4456 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:24:17 PM Quote this Post
Nope, I don't. I just play the game dude. Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay. But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way. For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.	Posted by Chrono89#7401 on Dec 18, 2012, 12:27:40 PM Quote this Post

If it was so important to GGG that we be competitive against each other then I don't know why they are fine with so many of their players completely avoiding this kind of competition.

" Not gonna get you wrong, it’s pretty clear. You seem paranoid about some random person taking something that you imagine to be yours that you probably don’t really need. Because of this crippling paranoia, you are afraid to even meet people or earn anyone’s respect and therefore complete your self-fulfilling prophecy of “bad design”. Very often the best items in the game are crafted – crafted from white items that nobody picked up and from alteration or alchemy orbs that can be crafted from other junk that people don’t even pick up. There's a hell of a lot of assumptions in this post.

As in most people just play the game and enjoy it how it is and don't get overly serious about losing hundreads of chaos orbs over the course of time because its just a game. Text makes things look funny and inherently takes things out of context (pun?) I'm only defending this form of gameplay not advocating change. Point being game is infact co-operative the way it is.

" Chrono89 wrote: " PandaMan wrote: Wow this is so sad....so when my friends ask me wtf PoE is i'll say its, "a non-co-operative game that you play with other people". Just add loot options...by default you will be competitive unless you change the loot rules how hard is that ? the game is about killing shit. when you kill items drop. you cooperate to kill stuff not help your buddy pick up a freaking maul Cooperating to kill the enemies and then immediately competing to pick up the loot is counter intuitive and strange.
