That's your opinion and I'm not alone thinking the penalty is too severe at lvl 80+ and I don't need a severe death penalty to encourage me to make new characters, it's done naturally with that kind of game (ARPG).

Well... I never like it that much, my friends and I always play map to person who has it highlighted. We always think its fair this way and I would like to see an option about maps, so they can be choosen between "map to finder" or "map to maker".
Otherwise I'll always want everyone to play "my" maps, so I can get even more maps and I will not like to play someones elses maps, since they'll almost always drop for him.
I found about 30 maps in total, only 1 blue and 1 rare so far. And I have seen a unique map drop to one of my friends while we run on map that I made. Was I jealous? Of course! Was I trying to say to him; "hey! Its my map! Give it back, you found it in location I spend resources to make! SO its mine." NO!
Why I run maps mostly? To find more maps and higher lvl maps, you just gonna kill half of the reasons for me.....


The logic... it isn't there!

Running other's maps is always a better option! Rolling maps in this game is freakin expensive, you become poor by doing that, not rich. Meanwhile if you run others maps, you profit from loot drops while gain XP at no currency cost, it's a net gain for you.

The status quo will evolve to turn map running, which is pretty much how it is right now: a map from me, a map from you, etc. until we exhaust this level maps and have to go back to lower maps and start over again.
For those saying how this was a "bad thing" because it "gave in to the whiners".

This does nothing to effect your game experience whatsoever. Team with FFA groups and revel in your hardcore superiority, while your loot is being stolen from you, thank that person for being even more hardcore than you.

Meanwhile, I will focus on killing mobs and not having to be constantly scouring the ground like I am playing loot collection whack-a-mole instead of an ARPG.

Everyone is happy.

Great news! I'll spread the word since many people hate FFA.

Now, make sure we can filter the loot option when browsing a game. For example, I want to see game that has the Permanent Allocation option only.

1 out of 3 requests done, next is death penalty redesign (to be less frustrating) and the return of MoC (or something similar that go deep with random level (some kind of endless dungeon that is lower tier than maps)).

Presuming you have several characters in the high 80's and 90's, right?
Casually casual.

I wouldn't say that, after all there is a new FFA option, now thats hardcore!
I don't understand how lootninja = hardcore

FFA is crap. It was bullshit when a 70+ map finally dropped for you, and you had to hand it back to the maker. It's worth at least some chaos...

Now I believe the majority of games will be in permanent loot allocation, except some public games where people believe they have the best ping.
But even with my ping of ~ 30, items were often stolen from me. How can you say FFA is fun in any way. People steal from you and you steal from them - it's an overall offset, but it facilitates bad behaviour.
