loot belongs to the player who picks it up.
and even if you switch your loot allocation to "permanent", it just locks the loot assigned to you for 5 minutes before it's free for all again. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Not sure why people are calling him a troll.
I always play with Perm Alloc on, and it regularly happens in parties that loot either doesn't get allocated, or gets allocated to multiple people. I'm not just talking about white bases, it happens to currency as well. Best guess by one of my guildies, whom I party with, is that if loot drops off-screen (or too far offscreen, perhaps), then it can drop un-allocated and hence essentially becomes free-for-all. |

" This happens if you kill things offscreen, probably even out of xp range. E.g. vaal/sparks that stays for a long time while the party is running out of xp-range (2.5 screens if iam not totally wrong). So the allocation wont find a player and just gives it up for everyone.

" according to my experience it also applies to currency dropping from breakables like vases. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" Right, that's confirmed then. In my case it's typically KB projectiles shooting ahead of the group, so we actually run into the un-allocated loot a short while later (rather than finding it when backtracking, as in your example scenario). Is really confusing at times. Anyway, I'm just saying that's what could have happened in the OP's scenario as well. Last edited by acme_myst#0530 on May 9, 2016, 5:41:32 AM

" Just came here to say that default setting is Permanent, and not Short - it was changed by GGG after a long debate about Free for All and that kind of thing. :V Plus what 好的男 said - even with Perma, off-screening causes loot to not be allocated to anyone. Other than that - yeah, OP is trolling, or is incredibly ignorant, for someone who critiques so much. Both are, sadly, possible. :V Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. Last edited by Perq#4049 on May 9, 2016, 7:14:33 AM

" Is the default setting stored in account or client settings? I've installed PoE on three or four computers since ascension and all have short as the default setting. I originally started playing in open beta though, so if it's stored in my account it may come from that time. Last edited by databeaver#1892 on May 9, 2016, 7:20:14 AM

" it's stored in a file at ur windows profile default is C:\Users\<YOUR_USER>\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile , there is file "production_Config.ini" So if u wanna keep ur settings just backup that file - if u want to reinstall the game or play on any other system. in that file, Allocation Settings are: default_loot_allocation=1 (=perm) Contact support@grindinggear.com to report issues relating to the game or forum.
