I really wish they would allow grouped players to share loot from chests. Nothing is more annoying than doing Grotto dungeon and having some party member running around picking all the locks and taking the loot while the rest of the group is busy fighting and dying. I'm not comparing this game to GW2, so don't play that card, but GW2 has this system and it's awesome! It boosts morale as a group to have someone yell out "Chest!" then everyone gets a piece of the pie and continues, rather than everyone being a lone wolf in the party trying to get stuff before everyone else. Now, playing among friends there is a bit more respect, but let's face it... chances are pretty high that people will be playing against total strangers, so that communication and respect is not always there.

I wouldn't mind this even for non-grouped players when there is a chest randomly out in the environment, let everyone around be able to grab something from it for a limited amount of time before it disappears.

My thoughts are that they wil change this somehow in a year or 2.

I hope not tho. But frankly its going to be a few players that are getting a lot of chests, and a lot of people are left out. Ofcourse this is on occasios because there are a lot more people that are not loot leeches compared to loot leeches.

Just to make this clear, i am a leech , sorry in advance if im going to steal your chest, but i grew up with diablo 2. Anyone who played that wil understand. Path of Exile didnt make it better either.

Hopefully it changes. Imo it just leaves the system open to abuse. Most groups will set some loot rules when you enter, I imagine, But anything that needs to be policed in the first place is something that could use the touch of a legitimate fix.

Back in the day if you were loot ninja your rep would get out fast and you'd suddenly find yourself not invited to anymore groups.

The mega sever and name changes probably provide a lot more opportunities for loot thieves to progress.

Do they even have a /roll function?

No roll fuction at all, its really first come first serve. Loots are provided in the chests in dungeons and whoever gets to it and picks the lock first will get it, no if's and's or but's.

I've gotta check some patch notes real quick but I seem to remember that this was being changed.

Don't quote me until I look it up though.

Rumor has it they're testing instanced loot in the PTS, so maybe well see it next beta if there is one.

I would actually prefer to roll on loot if in a group instead of first come first serve.
