Can't see why you don't just bring out lootshare with the option of coinshare? that system was in place for many years already, it really can't be that bad. Instantshare sounds like a good alternative to coinshare, but not to keen on the idea of shardshare as some others have mentioned that the shards will probably be of low value and not sell. But as long as any of the above get introduced i will be happy to boss again without worrying about getting scammed...

Shards are going to be worthless. I have no reason to buy 300 Bandos Chestplate shards over buying the actual Chestplate, even though they're the same price. BCP is more likely going to be bought quicker and for a price I want because people are more likely to sell the item itself over Shards. Additionally, I might not get all the Shards right away and it might take some time to get all 300 even from the Grand Exchange. By buying the item directly, the outcome is the same but much faster.

Shards will be relatively useless unless people are given some incentive to buy them.

people not going to buy shards unless they can make money from it. 300 shard will take lot of time to buy, till that bcp price not going to hold its price, the person who waited and bought 300 shard might end up not making money or with loss. for this reason everyone going to lowball shard offers just like in rs3 . in rs3 shards dont sell for same price of real item.

Bring back previous dev blog with ls and instant share. this system sucks.

No lootshare?

Well, regardless I'm all for shardshare. No more scamming splits. And this way everyone makes a chunk of money with every big drop. That's cool. Those who try to leech can be kicked from the cc. I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the
Player-Owned House Dungeon.
My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.

This dev blogs does not explain to me what happens when a team 'crashes'. I mean this can be used for good: when a solo buddy is doing DK and get's crashed, you go and help him out and push out the crasher. But it can also be used for bad: duoing at bandos and you get crashed by 10x lvl 90's.

Please can someone on the team elaborate how this is calculated?

No reply to my post earlier...


I'm going to say no either way. This messes with the combat system which is finally in a good place.

This just popped into my head: free trade - seems like the same thing. Implement a system with the best intent but end up ruining the game.
I would say invest the time in a system that pairs you with people interested in the same thing. Like a booth where you can register as someone that enjoys e.g. Bandos and get paired up with players in similiar gear and stats. maybe a new list : friends list, ignore list and pvm list.

I don't know. Perhaps the issue here is not trying to prevent people from being scammed but introducing them to players that are less likely to.

First of all - The community did not vote for Shard Share , The community voted for lootshare. Run a poll with all available options, have the community decide - take the option with the highest % of yes as opposed to 75% for this poll as the game needs some sort of system in place.

Shard Share was a faulty system, in Rs3 shards were sold for less then the proportional amount of the full item after a very short period of time.

Ironman Shard Share between Ironman accounts only? Depending on team size an Ironman would have to see the drop multiple times.

I do not expect the community to like this idea.

Perhaps Zeah raids will include ironmen since the rewards will be randomized and higher-tier will only be able to be completed with a team? One can dream!

Lootshare, coinshare, shardshare all is meant for ppl who dislike clans, cant trust people, or people who cant be trusted. People wont leave clans to use this, people in clans shouldnt use it too much at all. The fact people comment about shards will be merc*-price, and therefore cheap disgusts me, because they probably insta-sold an sigil or hilt this very week and didnt bother.

U can still set the shardshare system to handing out the whole items, so you can have free-for-all's without being afraid ud automatically miss out on drops to someone hwo missed more items, and it acts like coinshare without the negatieve effects coinshare would bring.

Shard share is a very smart and viable way of sharing loot and if you think differently you're most likly scepticle about the unknown.

Very good idea Jagex, voting yes not for me, but for the main part of the community.

100% I'll be voting yes to this, and would otherwise vote no for ls or cs.
