Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.
" There's a difference between "a" argument and "his" argument. Generally you should quote something like that if it was indeed his argument. Not everyone wants (or doesn't want) FFA loot for the same reasons. |

The pickit arguement falls short imo, items drop with a grace period, it's yours until the timer runs out. If you fail to pick it up before the timer runs out, the item is free for anyone.
The group won't instantly die casue you take a couple of seconds from fighting to pick something up. Being able to move around quickly to get to the loot is something you may have to plan and gear/use active skills to accomplish, wich is all part of the game. Movement skills are usable for way more then this too ofc but it should be a part of your concerns when choosing what to play. wanting instanced loot just seems lazy to me. It's for those who don't want to or can't pay attention to several things at once. Getting 99% of the loot within the grace period aint much of a problem. sure. you'll loose some items now and then while grouping. But you have to concider that without the groups iiq the item is more likely then not to never drop in the first place. Groups have the benefit of more loot. more xp per mobhealth then playing solo, it's generally much safer to group aswell. Without the ffa being somewhat of a drawback for a full on public party with strangers, grouping would be too strong, it may well be too strong as it is but thats a discussion for another thread. If you absolutely never want to stop fighting to pick something up or fear losing "your" drop to someone else then play with trusted players with clear rules regarding loot or play solo. Hopefully players will come to terms with ffa loot sooner or later. |

" There are allready multi-boxers and now bots? Uh oh . .. Not good news indeed. :( |
|
" so by your logic we should just accept ffa loot or play solo? ya sounds good to me. /rollseyes. and no way we will come to terms with ffa loot so can forget that. and you think this topic is bad now wait till open beta. shit will hit the fan then |
|
" You don't see a problem with people going allways solo? And wen the game goes OB and more people are coming to the game, there are not gonna be terms with the FFA loot, it's gonna be the ninja land. Never gonna be a good term about it wen more people come into the game. Dont fool youserlf. |

Personallly i dont care you took my drop. Its just say that was some rare evasion armor and it rolls my name n im going for a IR duelist. I dont pick it up cause of battle.. then mr marauder decides its his. Now this alone is ok.. but i mean you aint going to use that armor other than to sell to the vendor. So i try ask nicely. Sometimes they drop it. But if they dont.. maybe they are just an asshole.
Ffa loot system gives you a bettewr idea on the mentality of the player. Smoother than Smooth. Last edited by Moist#6523 on Dec 20, 2012, 6:22:04 PM

Better make some friends than.
More exiles are on the way, and some of them aren't as friendly as those already here. Ride the wave, or get sucked under. Your choice. Welcome to Wraeclast. Make friends, play by yourself, or enjoy meeting other exiles (who may be friendly or back-stabbers) Enjoy your stay. |

My point was mostly loot the item while its yours. If your a snail then do not cry when you lose items alright?
