This seems pointless, why not just have it be coin share then? With the original idea of it being sold in GE.

Why create a completely new system.......when it works exactly the same?

ShaunDreclin said :
Why would somebody buy 300 item shards and combine them unless it was cheaper than buying the item normally? The shards won't sell on the GE unless they're cheaper

Another reason this is a horrible idea.
Shards won't sell, except for lower than they're technically worth.
The original Coin Share idea was much better because it meant that the people who get the drop get an even split of the actual value.

I was in complete support of the original Lootshare and Coin Share ideas
I'll vote no if this is what it chances to.

Also, how are random other drops distributed? Is it an even chance for everyone involved every time?
Like...that infamous Poison Arrow drop from Zammy doesn't mean someone won't get drops for awhile...They still have the same chance on the next drop?

yay love the shard share and cant wait for it and loot share in game :)

Except Lootshare won't be a thing.
Shard Share will replace it.
Everything's an integrity issue if you troll enough.

Removing the issues of trust? People keep the drop when they get it with lootshare that's the whole point of it. You could go pvm with people you've never met before and not have to worry about not splitting because you either get a drop or you get LSP. Dissapointed how the whole LS idea was just thrown out of the window.


We saw essentially no positive responses to the idea of LootShare. The negative far outweighed the positive.

Shard Share removes the issue of trust in an immediate way - there is no need to PvM for x more days to see a return on the LSP you earned.

No positive responses? I think most people just disagreed with what was offered in the dev blog. Have you guys considered the different ideas for an LSP system that were suggested on the forums because I saw a couple good ones. Many people don't bother going through the comments so I'm sure it would've gotten better response if you guys made a dev blog with all the different LSP system suggestions. I can't possibly agree that "the majority of the community" doesn't want it because it wasn't even decided which LSP system would be used.

"there is no need to PvM for x more days to see a return on the LSP you earned" Most people I've spoken to wanted lootshare for this exact reason

I prefer the idea of Shard Share over Loot Share, but can there not be some sort of toggle-able option between Shard Share and Coin Share? Even if it is Coin Share on the items not covered by Shard Share, it would make bossing with friends much easier over just selling the loot in the GE at the end anyway, then splitting the cash.
