I love this idea, however. the possibility of power leveling using this has to really shouldn't be overlooked in anyway. The ability to use high level gear and gems with 6L .etc .etc even if it's reduced in power will make power leveling a thing.

What about people who WANT power leveling to exist?
What's wrong with power leveling?

nice this is something that we needed so many years ago

I hope you aren't raising IIQ/IIR for partying up further than it is now...

lol, are you kidding?

The way IIQ works in this game for parties already disfavors group play.

1 player = 100% loot
2 players = share 110-150% loot ( 25-45% less loot per person )
3 players = share 120-200% loot ( 33-60% less loot per person )

and so on.

The more players you add to the party, the less loot each person gets individually.
The only way this can look "exploited" is if only 1 person ever got loot, which means every other person gets nothing ( hence, not actually exploitative )

And then there's the whole problem of IIQ on gear only affecting kills made by that player, along with all the other little annoyances of things not working unless you huddle together and alternate killing blows.

This isn't Diablo 3, where every player gets their own 100% instance of loot AND a multiplicative buff to xp and rarity per person, AND rarity buffing stats are shared between all players.


Normal players ( and normal play ) will never see a benefit to grouping outside of the social aspect of it ( which becomes hampered by the gameplay aspect of it ).

The only outlier to this is funneling responsibility / benefit onto a single player, either feeding currency to 1 person to give them an advantage in racing ( or when getting carried in things like lab ) , or to get carried through content you couldn't normally do ( getting "free" exp / lab clears ). And even in that regard, the system itself is not being exploited, it's just a funneling of resources to someone; it's not creating more resources than is normally possible ( which, subjected to the diminishing returns of loot drops per player, is a net loss anyway ).

If anything, the IIQ of drops needs to increase drastically for fair party play.

Nice improvments, but why is there still shared loot :(
I hate shared loot and it's the main reason why I wont party with anyone.. at least when an Ex drops there will be huge discussions who "owns" it.

This option is already in the game. You can set loot to permanent allocation.
