Rolling for loot!

Amen! You tell em Evangela, all these people asking for stuff like being able to roll on loot need to get their backwards derrières back to WoW! We don't do things like rolling on loot or having intuitive user interfaces!! I mean honestly, I get so peeved when people keep asking for stuff like this!

I mean sometimes I don't even put punctuation or capitalization in my posts I'm just so tired of responding to these wild requests, you're among friends Eva, among friends.

I would like to clarify that I never played WoW... and point that the aggressiveness, frankly, is unnecessary. My derriere, however, is proudly backwards, and would hate for it to point in any other direction. :-P

Full disclosure: Well, I did play WoW, but it wasn't a comparison with that game that generated my comment, since I was always much more of a FFXI player than any other of the many MMOs I've played. It wasn't any comparison... actually. I was trying to foresee situations in which a more flexible system would be needed. Perhaps I was wrong, perhaps not. However I do think my comment does not warrant the unpleasantness of Evangela's and Zaene's replies.

Normal loot is fine, yes, but for special items dropped by NMs or future events, there needs to be more control over that. Different options that can be set by the party leader that says Free lot, Random Distribution, or Leader Distribution for instance.

Tight knit groups probably wouldn't really find the need to worry about ninja lotters or players who won't pass an item that one of their friends can utilize better. However, sometimes that's not always the case. Pick up party members are pretty popular as well and there needs to be some security.

I hate to quote WoW but i think is a good distribution system, i mean the leader of the group chose how they want to distribute loot. For now its not a big deal but when higher quality of equipment gonna drop the actualy system could cause drama. (already see or heard linkshell that already have drama over that).

I like your trolling evangela :P

The system already does the random roll for you, and it asigns the drop to your loot list.
if you do not want the piece, you can simply trade it from the loot list to another player.

adding more player intervention methods to the game opens up alot of abuse. especialy if you get a master looter type setting involved(as nice as it is, you will get more abuse of it with people ninjaing stuff then in any other system out there)

With this in mind, dont run things with people at random if you care that much about drops. Run it with people you trust who know how to use the trade button in the loot window.

I like your trolling evangela :P

and she was posting while in a behest with us, no wonder she kept dying, bleh, respect for that player -1 cuz we wiped cuz of her pulling random stuff and not paying attention.(she pulled like 20 mobs)

Master loot is not a bad tool, and i have gotten ninja'd in WOW with it, but i do not blame the tool, i blame the person, and i should have known better when joining some random raid in the first place.

Plus in this game it would be different, in here you have one toon, in wow you can just change your name, or make a new toon, and nobody knows if you are a ninja looter or not, not so much in this game
