CT Loot System 1.876 millionth thread about it! Bad game design.

In the meantime, please grant Loot Allowances to affected players who opened Support Tickets in a timely manner. I believe this would be a) appropriate, b) equitable, & c) fair.

*I am an affected player - my incident occurred 1/4/2013 in the AM, I opened a Support Ticket immediately... it's been three and a half days

Not to be a jerk, but it's not gonna happen. The amount of man power it would take to handle the thousands of tickets that come in would be nuts. Especially since the problem won't be fixed until 2.15, more and more keep happening.

In that case, SE Dev's:

Please compensate by giving EVERY player a 2-loot week.

In reply, 1) they should be responding to all Support Tickets anyway... I don't mean to imply they must act immediately on all accounts and 2) "timely manner" should help filter results tremendously, say only affected players who cared enough to open tickets within an hour of the occurrence.

the amount of maintenance without hotfixes this game goes through compared to others is unreasonably high, and saying something is going to be fixed in the next version instead of in a hotfix just means they don't care enough about their customer's opinions.

The loot lockout prevents players from getting all the loot they want in a week

This is a side effect of its intended design not its main objective.

The single item a week has to be the single most idiotic thing I have seen implemented for a long time, I could see this being put in a F2P MMO but one with a subscription? LOL

Im glad coil is easy enough that I can skip CT and gear up in ilvl90 pieces quicker than I can in ilvl80, oh wait...most of us did that already.

What I would like to see is them removing the possibility of kicking someone when a loot is in progress. Friend of mine got kicked cause the majority of the party was pre-made and a chest dropped. Easy win for them and it's very frustrating for the people that needs it but is in minority.

That's reportable.

It's for alts, for my main (brd) I only took one item from CT. For for every other class I level it's a great stepping stone to i90 and an easy way to earn tomes. Because no matter how fast you gear that alt, there's always going to be room to fit in some i80 items before getting to i90. SO if you're playing one job exclusively at 50, then sure. For everyone else though, no.

Greetings,

The development team is aware that loot in Crystal Tower is automatically being given to the last player remaining in the battlefield after all of the other party members have exited. They will be making adjustments to this in patch 2.15.

Why were so many of us told "Oh well, your fault and nothing we can do about it" when we reported these problems?

[Mooserocka33]

Why don't you people just pass gear fast lol

[TeganLaron]

Look, everyone knows it sucks, apparently including SE. They said they're fixing it, that should be the end of it now.

That aside, I agree - if you don't click "Need" or "Greed" it shouldn't apply a lockout.

Man it happened to me moments ago. I disregard the loot. I forgot about it when all of the sudden, the victory song ran and it was a major F-me moment. Yeah it was my fault... but CT's graphics and environment was just too amazing for me to stop looking away as I sprint through the crowd.

I would suggest that maybe... Make it so that if you don't click need or greed, you shouldn't be able to even obtain it for that matter. Just have the "pass" option available for you to "hurry it up" and give it to someone else kind of thing. Because if you really want/need it... you would have already done something about it.
