I would vote Yes for LS just to get them working on this instant share idea.

I mean, i don't mind lootshare but trust would still be a factor for the major drops and seeing as everyone will have an idea of how high or low their LSP is, people could still join clans when they have "high" LSP and decide to scam once they get their major drop. I understand the LSP will be spread out across the team either way but that doesn't change the fact that we lost a drop and must wait till we get our turn at receiving a drop. Correct me if im wrong btw.

Anyways, regarding the concept of Instant Share. I really like it. It would make running a clan smoother and would make scamming less of an issue, depending on how the end product turns out ofc. The fact that it only splits the major items instantly and it basically sells the item on the ge for you is great. Would love to see this in game in the future.

you dont miss if your lsp is high. concept of LS is gain lsp and get that sigil for yourself, you dont have to share drops u get from ls, that is the main concept, in return people who missed the drop will gain lsp. next time, they will get that sigil and keep it themselves. and no one is forced to do this. like old days, only people who like this concept will do LS, others can just kill bosses like today. dont you want to get your own elysian spirit shield?

smart way to do is, miss a sigil in small team to gain huge lsp and join mass ls teams to get your sigil faster.

I just dont like negative lsp that means i pay 800m lsp for ely and then im -800m like forever its not fun

and about instant share what if there are no offers on the ge?

true. i hope they will put a decay for negative, otherwise there is no way to gain that -800m back to 0 unless you are pvm zombie who dont need sleeps or eat.

I feel as though it has the potential to be a beneficial update, however it might not pass in the polls I know that is'n* what you guy's want to hear but it's the truth.

A suggestion to help alleviate some concern to the "truely oldschool" loot share is a big no, no for some nostalgia player's. Myself included there was quite a bit of hate when free trade was taken away and with that being said the implementation of eoc was just short knock around the corner.

Limit the number of Loot share worlds and or (open a few more) either reserve or what have you. I would say anything past 10 worlds currently is far too much.
With that being said 94 current worlds and 19 are occupied by f2p and pvp worlds additionally 2 occupied by the tournament worlds. More server's, limited worlds to ls 15 at most.

Also it is important that the lsp system is re-worked currently it seem's like there is potential to miss a drop from the current dev blogs info, I don't think loot share was a fair system when it was implemented in the first place, however if you were to just straight up work it out with no lsp it would be far more effective ex: squad formed --- item received --- player who receives the item has an option to convert to cash for team or keep the item and split later on.

Doesn't help with scamming at all, it just motivates scammers to use different methods, voting no. you have to explain how it dont help with scamming at all. you know nothing about lootshare for sure.

Diamnora
What a try hard, anyone that explains why they dont want lootshare you jump on them and try to make them only support your view and disrespect them.
Just don't cry when it fails to pass the poll.

Lootshare will make it so people won't need to wear the best gear or will bring very bad cheap supplies, effectively "leeching" kills when they don't really deserve it.

I personally will be using combat potions instead of super combat potions if this lootshare does pass and monk fish at most than anglerfish, sharks etc.

also will be going to a mixture of masses/small teams/friends to overcome some lsp's, maybe on some days get a small strong team and take out low lvl teams, that'll be the new thing.

Just leave lootshare out of osrs please, the cons seriously outweigh the pro.

If you are afraid of getting scammed then get better stats and gear OR go with people with the same stats/gear as you and toughen up.

Only real problem i see is Elysian sigil drop, MAYBE only add lootshare for CORP ONLY.

Mixed feelings :/

I personally feel like people should be encouraged to join clans to avoid being scammed at bosses, this keeps the clanning community alive and lets people into a whole new part of runescape, an extremely enjoyable and game changing one.

I would also hate to be doing something like duo bandos in max gear then be crashed by a group of 5 level 110s in terrible gear then lose all of the kills to them.

In my eyes lootshare is simply numbers > levels/gear. It doesn't stop scammers - if anything it encourages them because someone could accumulate high lsp with people that they trust, then make a team with random people and steal their drops.

I'm sure that it could benefit some people but I think that I will be voting no - although I'm sure it could benefit some people I would rather see the clan chat system be implemented and perhaps InstantShare (although I'm not sure how I feel about that either, I just hope people would start buying hilts and sigils for decent prices in the GE if it got implemented).

Edit: Duo Armadyl said :
Trust will still be an issue, only now the loot won't go to the highest damager. If anything this will cause more scams, as people will get their LSP high then attempt to join a clan to scam a high valued item..

This is exactly what scares me.

this and what Gork said.

This will do nothing but hurt us in the long run, be it clans dieing, new scams/lures we all have to learn and spread the word about.

Shard share may be crap for prices, but its honest to god the ONLY fair way for a team to split evenly with NO CHANCE at sum 1 scamming, and nobody being ****** over.


Don't even ******* vote yes, cuz shard share or that insta share wont be implemented.

Don't even poll the dam thing again unless its shardshare OR you have a way to 100% solve scamming/trust issues along with it being 100% fair (yea just like rng?)
