Losing loot when INV is full.

Why do you need an add-on to do what you can already do yourself now? Like really?

Read what he said, tell me how the game currently does what he said. Like really?

Sort through what you don't need/want...ok, your loot list holds all your items you currently obtained, open it, click the item you don't want, hit discard.

Simple.

See this is where you inexperience of playing other games comes into question.

Most other games you click a dead monster and loot what you want and leave what you don't.

In this game you have no choice in the matter, you kill something and your inv gets filled up with crap, now I have to spend 4-5 minutes scanning over my inventory for random trash drops that I want to either sell or drop and lets be honest the process is not very user friendly.

It's why they are changing the UI in 2.0 adding bags and drag and drop which I have already mentioned.

I think the actual visual of seeing how full your inventory is a much needed one (I'm sure you will disagree though)

there is a VERY simple solution to this though

dont go out in the field when you know you will be wanting drops unless you have your inventory sorted to make sure you wont lose stuff

if you are going out farming with 190/200 thats your fault, not the games

if you go into a dungeon with 199/200, again your fault

My inventory can become full just from doing 8 leves.

I agree, I personally always check when loot drops in a dungeon, but not everyone will remember to do so or remember to empty their inventory before going into a dungeon.

The thing is that you are looking at this back to front.

If we weren't forced to pick up every insignificant item then we wouldn't need to check our inventory so often.

I'm pretty sure that if this game had been developer with Yoshi from the start we would be looking at dead monsters that required looting.

if your out doing leves chances are the drops are not your primary concern anyway...

i know how that goes i do them still too


and in the end, "those who dont remember to do so" can NOT blame the game, they did not remember, the game didnt prevent them from doing it, they did it

thats what alot of this comes down to

thats like saying its the games fault that you missed a behest cuz you were in the bathroom for a minute too long because you didnt remember to join behest before you went



edit: also in regards to leves, we have vendors at pretty much all camps now for that specific reason you know

mmhmmm....

As am I, I discard food ingredients as I'm not a cook, I discard ores I no longer need to skill up and so on. It saves me a ton of space lol. I guarantee most people are full on random crafting/gathering materials and not gear because there's no gear swap in this game during battle so unless you know you'll be on a mage job which actually can benefit from gear swap, very unlikely to be maxed out in inv space with a lot of useful stuff.

Yea and if you weren't forced to pick them up to begin with you wouldn't be required to micromanage your inventory so much.

We all throw away useless items or NPC them there is no other option unless you want to sit around with 200/200. /derp

Sorry, not inexperienced. I just know the difference between needing a plugin that does something for me when I can already do something myself. For example Windower for FFXI added the ability to sort your inventory automatically, something SE added much much later.

That's when you want a plugin for something, they're designed to give functionality to a game that natively lacks it.

Most other games you click a dead monster and loot what you want and leave what you don't.

In this game, you go into your loot list and take/discard what you don't want. The sole purpose of this is for the very reason some people have full inventories and it gives you ample time (unless you zone out) to get your inventory together. It's essentially the same thing.

Point of addons, make things easier/faster/better. Simple right?

as long as it doesnt play the game for you, yes

how an add on will "manage" your inventory for you can be pretty shady

about the only thing an add on can do that may not be illegal would be give you a warning

anything else borders on botting and illegal use of programs(if it plays for you that is, considering thats what everything else would classify as at that point)
