Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.
" What Planetfall said. People grow, people change. What was good then isn't necessarily good now. Different expectations have been set. People tasted the forbidden fruit of instanced loot and can't go back now that they know such things are possible. |

" The proper question is: How many of those players that played D2, moved to D3, are waiting for a game like this, that is like D2? A lot. With proper advertising and word of mouth this game will be huge. If you don't want to support the devs image, that's fine. You can enjoy playing solo and become bored as you say you will. I have to ask, based on your wording, have you played a pub game? Or are you just going by what others are saying? "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!" Henry Ford

" Here i think, is the post you wanted:
Spoiler
Here's another thought for your consideration, would-be defenders of tense, cut-throat douchebaggery. First, I'll arbitrarily invent wholly nonsensical categories, and just as arbitrarily lump large groups of people into these categories:
Let GREENS be players who prefer an environment of fairly distributed loot, wherein the system itself allocates said loot, thus preventing any sort of intra-party drama and struggle over loot allocation. Let REDS be players who receive a deep, vast, nipple-tingling thrill at the idea of players in a "party" all fawning and clawing over every single piece of gear that hits the ground in a carnivorous fray of greed and drool. Let's also arbitrarily posit that all GREEN players of this game are disgusted at the idea of ever finding themselves in a party with a RED. Thus, all GREENS can and will simply play solo games to avoid any such circumstance. However, GREENS would in fact adventure in groups if they could be guaranteed that they would never find themselves in a RED situation -- such as allowing them the option of creating GREEN-ruleset games, or creating and/or joining a GREEN-ruleset league. Given all of this arbitrariness, I posit a question to you, you fine, upstanding REDS of PoE: WHAT in the HELL would you CARE?! How would YOUR play experience be detracted in the slightest if we GREENS could all scurry off and hide in our own, GREEN-only games, as opposed to what we do now, which is to scurry off and hide in our own, solo games?

" Whoever that is, knows how to pick 'em. Open 'gratz to whoever you are, wherever you are. |

" Actually i played with a friend, and by the end of the area if i recall correctly, he got very little loot due to me being melee (Duelist) and him being caster. If it was a pub, the issues would have been even worse as i gave my friend some gear i looted when we headed to town i think. |

So you don't have any experience whatsoever with playing in pub games?
|
|
" Yes, a lot. And a bunch of them are GREENS now. lolol wat do? |
|
" So that is more of a timer issue, then an actual FFA issue. I don't mind if the timer is extended a couple seconds. It also shows that since your friend trusts you, he didn't jump on his drops. Chances are in a pub game he would have gotten more loot, not less. Since he would have been paying closer attention t drops. Its highly likely he would not get every drop in his name though. He would have just gotten someone else's loot to compensate. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!" Henry Ford
