Thinking out of the box! How about an mtx that has a bot post a response once a week praising and agreeing with one of your forum posts? :-D

There's no reason GGG couldn't implement it as an in-game reward. Maybe make it a super-rare encounter, on par with the droprate of a portal gem.

I suspect they won't, because of their desire to maintain the sense of items having "weight" (i.e., importance), and such a function might cheapen that.

OTOH, they could start dropping currency in stacks and normalize the droprate, and it would eliminate a lot of the annoyance factor people don't like without appreciably reducing the "weight," in my opinion. Say, 10 wisdom/portal scrolls drop at a rate 10% of their current droprate. I don't see this hurting the game at all.

Loot-collecting pets, though? Eh. Though I would enjoy having one, the current game design already incentivizes not engaging with the loot to an extent that would (should) embarrass any ARPG designer. Any form of pickit would simply move us further in that unfortunate direction.

You are probably right and it would turn us into mindless farming bots :D.
