Group loot poll

If Path of Exile could only have one loot system which would you prefer?

1-Keep the current system with no changes

2-Weighted system: Blue items and scrolls would be timer * 1; Yellow and currency < Alchemy would be timer * 2; Unique and >= Alchemy would be timer *4. Or add a flat amount of time for each rarity level.

3-Permanently assigned loot with ability to right click to clear ownership

4-Partial instanced: Gear keeps timer. Currency > scrolls is instanced

5-Fully instanced you can only see and pick up your loot.

6-Full FFA no loot timer

7-Beta players should stop discussing the group loot system

I would like to see the weighted system. It would keep the positives of the current system but should help alleviate some player frustration.

Well #2 is the best on your list. Except it shouldn't be multiplied, it should have a flat time added to it, since the base time already takes travel time into account.
But you left off most of the best ways =\

The best would be a drop down box which lets the party leader choose loot rules, including:
Full FFA
Timers (current system)
Assigned loot (#3)
Master looter (not sure exactly the best way, but probably all high currency/uniques/maps assigned to master looter, and rest using one of the other systems.)
Fully instanced (#5)

#5

This poll is pointless

Most people are self-centered and will vote for what is best for them, not what is best for the game.

Also you did not even include PURE FFA (no timer) loot as an option - ALL of the choices you listed except #1 would slow down the game or restrict player freedom.

There is a reason this game is so good, it’s because the Devs have brilliant design strategy and possess solid common sense. Do you really think all the random people on the forums know better than them? I sure as heck don’t.

At one point the developer stated that they were not going to include unique items in the game. They have since changed that stand point. GGG has done a great job but they have adjusted the game many times during the development cycle. We are beta testers it is our “job” to troubleshot, review, and discus the game to our best ability.

This poll is a data gathering process only.

7 - close this thread and kindly ask wrathmar to stop spamming the forums with loot threads.
