I feel like Id rather get a big drop than getting 1/300ths of it :(

You'd only get 1/300ths of it, if you had 300 people in the chat...which you can't do.

If there were 3 of you, each would get 100/300ths (or a third, to the non-mathers out there)

Not if I have clanshare on.

Yah, umm, do you even know what we're discussing? O_o

If you have share on, and there's 3 of you in the share, on a big drop, each would get (drumroll, please) a third of it, in shards...with 300 shards needed to make one item, you'd each get 100 of those 300...

I wish you'd poll everything like this, multiple blogs and changes followed by polling every aspect separately. This looks great.

I wish Zeah had been polled like this, with every aspect being looked at with the community and polled in detail. I hope the next batches of polls for Zeah look this good too.

Props to you, OS Team.

This could be polled thusly:
If a form of LootShare is introduced into OSRS, how would you like to see it?
1. LootShare Potential
2. Coinshare, where the item instantly sells for the highest buy offer currently in the GE
3. Shardshare
4. I do not want to see Lootshare in OSRS

-Then remove the lowest scoring and poll the top two
+1

Too many shardshare worlds. Would rather if it was 25% max.
I can agree with that. Truly, there needs to be 4x as many non** worlds as SS worlds, because groups take up less world space than soloers do (5 groups of 4 = 5 worlds, while 20 soloers = 20 worlds) 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Jagex really don't understand their customers. People don't want a fair and equal solution to doing things like Corp beast. They want the old version of lsp so they can go snipe themselves an Elysian sigil and not have to share it. Your customers are toxic, vile people, filled with hatred and greed. 15 years on and you still don't recognise this.

They want lootshare because they don't want fair team work where everyone gets the same amount of gold, they want it all.

1. Why 300 shards? Just make it 100.

2. Will these shards be purchase-able from the Grand Exchange and/or be trade-able with other players?

3. How will these shards be used to create the item itself?


1. Because 300 has more whole divisors than 100 has (1,2,3,4,5,6, as opposed to 1,2,3,4,5)

2. Pretty sure the answer's yes

3. Good question ;) 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

why do we even need any share. mods are talking like lootstealing is some big epidemic. do we really need to change how everyone plays just because there are some a**holes? and believe it will influence every pvmer. there are currently 51 non-pvp members worlds and they say around 60% will be share. that leaves 20 worlds for soloers and small parties. ironmen can just **** off because they will be crashed when no open worlds. try to solo kbd****, kq, gwd or wildy bosses with 20 wordls. wild will be full of pkers who hunt soloers and every other boss will have 2 people waiting in line. and only real issue here is with one boss and its one drop: corp and ely. everyone is hoping to use this system there to get rich quick.

we dont need to change how the whole pvm works just because few people scam and a bunch of people hope to make a quick buck without working for it.

I think ShardShare would be the best way to go about doing any kind of lootshare system. It shares drops equally and wouldn't have the problem of an item selling undervalue as in the InstantShare system.

However, to address the concerns about the discrepancy between the value of an item's shards and the item itself, I suggest making the items untradeable. The items would be able to be broken into the 300 shards, and the shards themselves could be easily put together into the item. So, the item would have a right-click option to break into shards, and the shards would have a right-click "make item" option. This way if you want to buy the item, you have to buy the shards, which will be at market value. Also, this way shards would definitely be traded on the GE and in the market as there is no other way to buy the item.
