Both ls and instantshare need to be ingame, even being in a clan does not gurantee you a gwd team when you just want some instant fun, and you can't go with randoms because of trust issues.Instant share would solve that, while ls would allow non maxed people to have a chance at bigger loot over time which will make the game more fair.

Wow nice job Jagex implementing another broken system just like the old one in EO*

**f is the point of LSP? NONE. You're just increasing variance for casuals and mandating super longterm playing styles

Can't just go off to Bandos in a team once in a while because it's guaranteed that someone there will have higher LSP than you, and despite the fact that it decays it basically makes a longer wait time to build up LSP to begin competing with the high end of the distribution among the team community

This is just stupid as usual, nice going though?

I would rather you hold off on the entire thing and release it only when instantshare is available. Let's be realistic here, lootshare wouldbe used on release, but once instantshare is available, it would probably just end up becomming the option used by the majority of players when team bossing. There's almost no reason not too. Teams rarely would boss to just have someone keep an item in the bank, they'd probably just go to the g.e and stick it in there and sell it anyway.

Might as well just wait for the whole project.

Also, your not guaranteeing less of a scam risk, if someone joins your team for a bandos run, and gets a drop with their high loot share potential, what's stopping them from keeping the item? There's nothing forcing them to sell it and trade over 1/3rd of the gold. Only instant share keeps that promise,

With the original loot share your basically just renaming the Kill counter and adding a randomization process to it for who will get the drop based on past statistics of receiving drops.

There's literally almost no point.... I almost think it would cause more problems simply from players not wanting to adapt to it, and causing the 40% of worlds without lootshare to be extremely packed and crowded.

i agree with your no decay on negative lsp will put end to LS once we get big drop.

but about "Can't just go off to Bandos in a team once in a while because it's guaranteed that someone there will have higher LSP than you" - you got that wrong, you dont have to pvm always in ls. It is only active when u join some ls teams, otherwise its not active even in ls worlds.

I had a question regarding the InstantShare system suggestion.

With the current Grand Exchange limits you can guarentee yourself that you wont buy a certain item no matter how rediculous the price.
If somebody buys the limit of armadyl hilts, that person would be able to put up an offer of 2147m for one hilt, without the risk of actualy buying it for that price. This offer would now be the highest current offer. However, what would happen then if he went into a team with LS enabled and somebody got the hilt. Would;

a) the offer be ignored, since the buyer is on his buying limit. The highest offer of a person that is currently NOT on his limit will be the offer picked.
b) worst case scenario; the player with the insane offer gets picked, so the armadyl hilt recieves a coin value of 2147m, however, the player with the buy offer is on his limit so it will not complete, which means coins are still generated.
c) not-that-good-either-scenario; the 2147m offer is selected, buyer recieves the hilt even though he's on his limit and the value of 2147m is used for InstantShare

I'm assuming it's a, but I thought it would be a good thing to bring up - my apoligies if this has been discussed somewhere already, I'm sorry for the repost.

This update sounds great it's so hard to find a team to boss unless you join a clan. Have any of you checked teamwork bossing forum for oldschool? It's so dead, this is gonna bring alot of bossing, and people talking about scams, anyone can say they will share loot right now and not do it.

All these kids crying about trust. First off back pre eoc the point of lsp wasent for spliting. It was for keep what u get. If u dident get the drop o well and keep trying. your time will come.. i for one will be not split my drop if it was my lsp used for the drop. That defeats the whole purpose of loot share.

Side note. Having loot share coming with out the instasta share coming from higest offer in ge is pointless. Both should come out at the same time.
