Played some more public games today and have some more thoughts on the issue.
1. I am for instanced loot as one option simply for the fact of screen clutter. It is amazingly annoying having the screen completely full of items. I don't think instanced is a perfect system but I would play it sometimes just to keep my screen clear. No don't tell me to filter white items. They have too much potential to be valuable in this game and I don't want to hit a button all of the time either.
2. Even if I wanted to play the weed out the jerks game its too annoying right now since I had no idea who took what item. How the hell can I follow who took what item when A) The screen is full of items, B) The screen is full of enemies/minions/spell effects, and C) A boss creature who is trying to kill me. I simply can't follow all of that at the same time. Thats why I support wraths idea of a loot log so I know for sure who took my orb with my name on it.
The current system isn't unplayable I just don't see why it needs to be the only option to play on. I dislike FFA but other people hate it more than me for sure. I want this game to be popular dang it. This issue just isn't important enough to hinder the games popularity.
Found out today that the white items filter is being removed. So I am going to repost this.

We could have some stuff that increases drop timer for items belong to players who use this modifier.
1- Item drop timer - dexterity support gem
2- X Percent Increased drop timer - item mod
Anyone agree?

AWFUL!
How do people come up with such things?! One of the worst suggestions I have ever heard.
Its like an COMPLETLY INAPPROPRIATE Feature with serves the purpose to make something which "sucks heavily" become "suck lightly" (instead of fixing it).

This thread is full of great ideas, most would be an improvement. Co-op needs some adjusting before Open Beta including the loot system.

Needs to be 10 seconds or so. Regular mode doesn't need to have people scrambling for items. It's chillout and have fun mode, not bash head against keyboard mode.
If people want to do so, have it 5s in hardcore, 3s in cutthroat mode.

This pretty much sums up the entire debate for me. I can see why they'd want the loot system to be this way, but I don't see how it can be important enough to alienate a large group of players in a market where competition is already fierce and where games only get one shot, right at launch, to make it before fading into obscurity.

This thread had finally fallen off the first page until you resorted to quoting yourself just to bump it. Let this be the end of all the "no other thread is this big, it's proof that what I'm saying is correct!" claims.

So just because a thread goes off the 1st page it's no longer an issue...nice logic.
