EnMasse, first of all, great job- I love the game.

But having to change loot options every time is annoying and it's dependent on the leader being competent enough to do it.

Having loot defaulted to basically a free for all is not what most players want. Most players want round robin (so range gets equal chance to get loot, and people aren't competing to pick up stuff) and class-restricted on uncommon or better items (or rare if you'd like).

I lost a weapon today because the person that picked it up was from another server and couldn't trade it with me. Not that big a deal but it's annoying how everyone has to nag on the leader to change the loot rules every single dungeon.

I always join BAM parties but don't pick stuff up in case it upsets anyone. Not sure if it's free for all or what but I never get anything... -.- Round Robin should be default

Check the box that says "Willing to lead party" when you queue. Even as a Berserker, I've gotten lead almost every time when queueing alone and can just change the loot options myself.

Obviously not a perfect solution, but it's definitely better than sitting back and hoping you get a group leader who won't abuse being leader. ^^;

"Round Robin" and roll for rare items and better is standard and should be the default.
Frankly speaking, it is a bit silly that rare items are "Free-For-All" and there is no capacity to trade items cross server if someone loots an item they shouldn't have.

I hate to say it, but this is just one of the many unusual and odd game choices that EME has made. I believe EME has dropped the ball in many of the little things in this otherwise good game.

I LOVE YOU EN MASSE BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED

this is one of the most annoying things in game imo. make default roll on rares(not superior) and class specific only.

THanks

Love the game

Signed.

Also, the loot system is annoying as it is to begin with. There's either "Roll" or "Don't Roll" with no distinction between "Rolling because I want to equip it" and "Rolling because I want to sell it".

You even have a loading screen tip that says "If nobody else in the group needs the item, just hit Greed. Seriously."

Did you guys totally forget to add this Greed button?

havnt bought game cause finals, but I really don't wanna deal with that when I do

I might be crazy, but when I create a party, Round Robin is default.

The only thing that I have to change when I go into an instance is to click the "Only loot appropriate class items" and I change manual rolling to Rare items (blue) instead of green.

Something is screwed up if your parties are defaulting to Free-for-all.

If I'm with people who are cool, I sometimes set it to distribute randomly (which just means you don't have to click the little roll icon between combat, it's kind of a pain that there's no keybinding to roll).
