Been waiting for this for a long time. i want to get my own ely rather than saving little by little from splits.

Visible LSP:
Instead of showing exact amount of lsp. make it to show as,
Negative
- if lsp below 0.
Positive
- if lsp 0-1m.
Low
- 1-10m.
Med
- 10-30m.
High
- 30-100m.
V'High
- 100m+
If community dont like Visible Lsp then let us only know if the lsp is negative or positive.

Decaying LSP:
it should reduced to 3%. because many people pvm at weekend and go to school and work after that. with 10% drain a day it is waste of effort.
Edit: like other person suggested , decaying lsp 5% a day only when the person is logged in that day is a good idea.

Coinshare:
Coinshare is bad, shard share is good.

on side note- also poll divine with pvp nerf like trident and blowpipe pls.

the item would go onto the Grand Exchange at said price. If the item’s real value was much lower however… this offer would never be filled hence that amount of coins were added directly into the game and never taken out.


Name one item that would have this problem.

One thing I really want to see is a way to disable LSP, or just a completely random mode. The reason for this is clan events and similar situations; for those it is nice to use Lootshare so everyone can see the drop and has a chance at, but if someone had high LSP it can ruin the whole thing. Like if we were doing a TzHaar event, we need Lootshare to see the drops and we can't split drops like Tokkul since they are untradeable; but if someone just missed a Sigil at Corp, either they get all the drops and ruin the event for others or they would have be asked to leave the event. So having a way to still use Lootshare for the damage drop and drop displaying aspect but keeping who gets the drops 100% random without LSP factoring in would be useful.

As for the other questions, I think the LSP part of Lootshare should use an alternate system with more even splits and not the old top 2 system. LSP should be visible, but could be vague as well; you should at least know if your LSP is negative, around 0, positive (100k), medium positive (over 1m), or high positive (over 10m) or something like that. I also don't think Decay is really needed; if it does return it should be smaller. I'd say make all worlds Lootshare, possibly leaving a few as "free for all" world without it.

I like the way Lootshare is being laid out this time around.
No visible LSP.
No decay over time.
Lootshare on all worlds, but option to toggle lootshare on and off. Sometimes I like highest damage dealt.

I would like to present the suggestion of adding a "fair chance" toggle which simply ignores all damage dealt or LSP and offers every member of the team the SAME chance of earning the drop as long as there was a threshold of some kind met (specific amount of damage, HP lost, aid give to teammates, etc.)

The only suggestion i have is make about 3/4 worlds ls, making all worlds ls would be...iron man hell since it would encourage to team on iron man, sure they can hop but with the current system lets say an iron man gets crashed atleast theres a chance nobody gets the loot, with lootshare there wouldnt.

What about pets? Would they be subject to the LSP as well? What I mean is-would the pet drop go to the person with the highest DPS or would it go the person with the highest LSP? I see good reasons for both, but I do PVM masses with my clan because we can get a lot of kills quickly and I can usually get the kill which decreases my time of getting a pet drop. Either way, I'm happy about this blog :)

how about add a feature similar to RS3, where the group gets an even amount of shards they can then sell on the GE. This seems like the fairest method for lootshare, but of course it would be an option in case players want to gamble their lsp instead.
