LOL so people in your party can steal your loot?

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 poster is a D3 schill who makes non stop threads complaining about POE and "suggesting" that GGG make POE more like D3. And then he talks about how great D3 is later in the threads.

You notice how the OP used the words "my legendary"? That is a D3 feature, each group member gets separate loot, unlike POE and D2 ect.

Whether this can happen is based on your party's loot allocation settings. The default mode is short allocation - when desirable items drop, only one player (chosen at random) is allowed to pick them up for a few seconds, then they become available to pick up for everyone in the party. There is also permanent allocation, or free for all. As party leader you can change the loot allocation setting from the party screen, and you can also set your default in UI options.

(Random side note: GGG really like free for all, since they feel like stealing loot is part of the fun of this sort of game. The other modes exist because many players don't share that view.)


I see ok thanks well what I do is I click on the notice board and just join any party I will have to have a closer look at what I am joining next time.

I don't see the point of rushing to be the first to steal though, that sounds dumb. A guy picks a shadow and dashes the fastest to steal and trolling everyone? especially when he did the least amount of work? Will be sure to get my own loot setting next time.

There is the full inventory thing too if I recall correctly.


That happened to me once, and only once
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
there should be an option to set the duration of short allocation. also an option for SA + permanent allocation if your inventory is full.

I don't think any sensible person would make a multi player game where others can steal your loot. Surely it was just a bug as any reasonable and sensible developer would make sure each person gets their own loot otherwise nobody would care to play multi player.
