Losing loot when INV is full.

[Krausus]

In 2.0 you have to right click the dead enemy to pick up loot ... I joke .. ... :P

Hopefully in 2.0 they will have a pop up message prior to leaving a dungeon such as "You have undistributed loot in your loot list" do you still want to leave ?

This is a really good Idea. I know its the players responsibility to manage their loot/list in order to not loose anything but i bet it wouldnt be very hard or time consuming to have that pop up message. Jinko if you are bored enough you should make a suggestion thread with tags. Really good idea.

and in those games these same people will complain about how its not fair the mob despawns before he noticed he ha full inventory and the items were lost

That's true, I remember I ported out a few dungeons and forgot to pick up loot .. lol

The IQ level is quite low in here it seems. Or it's all polluted with XI vets who learned to live with flaws and glitches cuz their MMO cie couldn't figure out solutions to basic programing mistakes.

Well you been round here long enough to know this is always true.

I think some people around here are allergic to intuitive design.

Well no thanks to you there's a low IQ in this thread.

The fact of the matter is anyone is an idiot for going into a dungeon with full or nearly-full inventory. It's not anyone's fault but the player's own. It happens, so get over it.

It's one thing to design software intuitively, it's quite another to try to cover for every stupid mistake a user can make.

along the lines of such other threads as

"please remove anima because i always have 0 and no one else should be allowed to teleport if i cant"
"i dont want to get 8 people for my party, please allow me to solo all content and make sure it scales so that i can complete raids solo"
"please remove clases because im ocd and have to now hold gear sets for 14 classes/jobs instead of 7 because i refuse to focus on any 1"

If your inventory is full and you just get a drop from a dungeon, once you leave and you didn't make room the item will be lost. Can S-E fix this please? Other mmos will either wait till your inventory has space and then it will be added to it automatically. Or it is sent to you by mail, which i know can't be done here since we don't have a mail system.

Can a rep comment on this and tell us if they are going to fix this soon?

In other words....

Please SE can you manage my inventory space for me as I am incapable of doing it myself and am frequently losing items due to having a full inventory? Please can you make up for my absent mindedness? Please add a feature that nobody else needs, or more to the point, that nobody else has considered an issue.

There... fixed :P

Please no... dont want this!

I'll say it again. Make it for the server to drop the item in your INV at a later time when space is available. Other games do this and for a reason, they don't go and tell their subscribers well it's your fault for not making up space, you gotta be proactive. These little things make the difference between a 5 or 10 mil subs MMO and a 50k subs one.

Great post and your right on.
SE Needs to change a lot of little things but as for right now.. you gotta check your space.

IMO, this is a basic RPG mechanic. You get a bag you can fill with stuff. Bag gets full, you get no more stuff. Empty stuff from bag to get more stuff. Sometimes, devs choose to make it so you can't move or something else instead, sometimes you just can't get any drops. Each rpg does it differently, FFXIV lets your stuff fall on the floor. The end result is the same, the player needs to learn to manage their inventory.

Make the loot list icon blink in red light if it's full ^^
