I feel like my opinion will be overlooked since the team their reply is always 'well, how would you like it being done'. Which makes makes my 'no' completely pointless.

So for once, since I really do NOT want this in the game, I will offer an alternative (which has already been offered on twitter before by several people).

Make it so that your clan chat team damage is combined to offer the highest damage and then give the loot to the highest damage dealing player within the group. E.g.:
player 1 in team 35% damage
player 2 in team 25% damage
player 3 outside team 40% damage
team gets drop, player 1 gets drop

This is an MMO, trust is going to be a thing. Clanning is going to be a thing. Please don't try and make this game something it is not.
I myself have been a solo player for a long time, but finally did find a clan and it is awesome.

Mod Kieran on twitter said "This leaves one problem in PvM IMO... bosses that have tank roles or non dps roles."
Teams already make the tank roll more attractive by offering them rewards. Plus that is the essence of a team, you work together to get the loot.

And a second thing, offering instantshare is cool but don't say "well you can't have that without lootshare". Ofcourse you can! Just implement instantshare but don't activate lootshare... I feel like you're forcing people to choose for LS.

Does no decay mean if a player receives elysian, they wont get back to positive unless they miss 700m worth of loot? So its better to just never use LS again? Anyway voting no, its been terrible since they first time launched it.
Instantshare/shardshare maybe. And it needs to be less than 60%, most of the current groups of friends/clans wont use them anyway.

Or just use coinshare to split drops completely evenly if need be. Loot share is idiotic at best and does not get rid of the "trust" issue when bossing with other players. How does this stop someone from logging out with 700m shield?

Oh right it does not.. So you re-implement some old defunk system that still ends in users ninja logging. Can we get you a slow clap?

Still waiting for PK-Share. ( But we cater to skillers and PVMers )> Trust issues. You want some trust issues go pking and try and get some lootshare. Quit your whining find trust worthy teams its the game. The only people complaining are the 9 year olds missing out on loot because the other 9 year old logged out with it. Lesson be learned, don't boss with 9 year olds.

Lootshare on old school just won't work.. Here's a few reasons why:-

1) Most people won't boss if they don't get a split, you can see what drops people get currently, why use Lootshare?

2) FFA bossing only came down to others crashing.. Lootshare will cause more crashing because "my team is bigger than your team!" and you simply won't be able to boss on lootshare worlds without using lootshare because you will get crashed.

3) You have completely overlooked the fact on Ironman and Solo players... Only giving us 40% of the worlds to boss on and as I said above, why will teams who split loot want to use lootshare? It's still a trust issue if the person who receives the loot splits it or not, right? So this will give us solo players less worlds to find now because these trust teams won't want to boss on a lootshare world.

4) Most people only want LSP for corp, yet, how often do you see FFA corp? Why would they use Lootshare if going FFA anyways? They won't

There are many reasons why not to bring Lootshare out, yet so little (In my opinion, none) to actually use it.

These are just my 2cents though and will be voting no for the reasons above!

Never been a fan of lootshare. Much rather see a shard system for coinshare like rs3. A deterrent for teams to form when you can see your LSP and know you do or do not have the most. Shard system creates no coins.

Can we get lootshare for high level woodcutting and fishing spots too? My lower level fishing is being beaten out by the higher levels with better stats in this competition style game with limited resources and bosses. Also lootshare for non-multi boss areas would be nice too.


I would prefer to not be crashed at corp by a collective damage lootshare clan when 2 manning or 3 manning it with trusted friends ourselves not under the lootshare regime.
