so basicaly what this thread is about is "dont use public groups if you want loot". the worst part is you think this is ok...

You feel the game should be changed to suit your needs, how is it any different then me wanting it to stay the same?

im not saying anything should be changed... the game is great as it is. but fixing some broken features - like the one discussed in this thread - would make it that much better. and yes, having to decide between public party or loot is broken since it discourages people from using public parties. dont tell me you wouldnt like to grouping up anytime with anyone without worrying about not getting any goodies? i most certainly would.

We'd like to see the game changed to suit both our needs via an optional instanced loot.

It was changed to suit both, they added the timer. Now that is no longer good enough. I think it is time to stop heading in that direction.

Isn't it possible we can come to a compromise, a system that both sides can agree on which might possibly stop these threads from popping up and causing the community to split in half and lash back and forth at each other?

Its obvious this community is split evenly between 2 groups: One who would rather have no timers and promote a cutthroat gameplay and one who would extend timers to promote teamwork. No matter who says what, GGG has inevitably brought both sides into the game and its causing a lot of problems as imbalance and favoritism towards one particular group is simply going to piss off the other side. There's always a middle ground though, one that both can agree on. The current loot timers isn't that middle ground as its considered 'too short' for team players while the competitive side feel its too tedious and lengthy. No one is happy.

How about we improve the grouping system? Besides putting up a group and name in the group tab, we could include some extra features. What would be the first one? Loot distribution options! Do you want to promote a cutthroat feeling in your group? Turn off that loot timer. Want to promote teamwork? Lengthen that timer a little longer or make it a permanent feature in your group!

This would make both sides happy and the forums will no longer be littered with "extend/remove timers" threads. Win-win as they say.

I think the way it is is the middle ground. A timer for some lucky dude to get loot without anyone else have a chance at it.

We could make all the ranged play together and all melee play together, that would solve the whole not being able to get to it in time. That way, ranged will be too busy running in circles to get it and then they can complain because someone didn't have mobs chasing them and got "their" loot.

Which begs to point out that if people were satisfied with the current timers, this board wouldn't always be constantly barraged with topics like the one you posted. No offense. :P

No it was changed to something both crowds hate.

Because anti-FFA people are simply asking for the OPTION to choose the loot rules, so it would stay the same way for you.

Pro-FFA people are rejecting the idea of an option, thereby imposing their views on everyone.

Are you really saying you cannot see the difference????

I do not like FFA loot either.
In my opinion the group leader should be able to decide between FFA and an "even split"
loot system.
