This was a super clunky solution in RS3 and it will be super clunky in OSRS. Instantly selling at the highest offer in the GE literally solves the problem of high value loot splitting in a simpler, more futureproof way than this does.

Shards are going to be a nightmare to maintain because for every item you have to decide whether it's worthy of splitting into shards and then you have to make the individual shards item, both for all the high value drops now and in the future. On top of that it splits the market for the items into "people buying the item" and "people buying the shards".

Not a fan.

Let us be honest. Most people are playing the game through a client. The website/forums are not that often visited by the players. That makes it harder to get a good view of what the most players in game want.

So far there were 3 idea's:
- LootShare ( with LootSharePoints )
- CoinShare ( price in GE)
- ShardShare (With items split in Shards...)

In my opinion CoinShare is a bether way than ShardShare. Why? Wel simple... You don't need to create new items, and if you sell the item to GE, with CoinShare, to the highest bid. Whats the big deal than?

My suggestion to the OSdev team: Make a vote in game to select one of the 3 options, and put a hyperlink in the vote to the devBlogs. This way the devTeam wil get a bether view of what the MOST players in game wants. And not only those who visit the website/social media.

Edit: I've played this game for 10 years now, there should defenat*y come a system to split drops with a team. At this moment, GWD chat is dead because there is so little trust in eachother.

U can still set the shardshare system to handing out items and it acts like coinshare without the negatieve effects coinshare would bring.

What negative effects?
What is negative about an item being directly sold in the GE?
It's literally the same as someone picking the item up off the ground....then going to the GE and selling it.
Or did you miss that part about the previous DevBlog, and think CoinShare will work like it did when it originally came out? Everything's an integrity issue if you troll enough.

Eh...not a fan of the highest damager of the group not being guaranteed the drop so probably wont use it outside of crash attempts but still voting yes

Out of curiosity what happens if say there were 7 people invovled for a shard split? Would some get an extra or would the total count be missing 2?

I like the idea. It seems like a lot of people disagreeing simply do not understand how it works. Its an immediate split you can cash in at any point that you receive instantly. Not sure what anyone could ask for tbh unless they're really so lazy they can't manage to make the sub one minute walk to the grand exchange to instant sell. This also allows people to potentially make more money from their drop by selling it for what they feel its worth even if it takes slightly longer on the GE. Literally not a single negative. Clans and groups of friends will still be more efficient and fun which is, you know, the point of going with people you know.

Coinshare generates cash out of thin air.

And about the shards, you could always duo in GWD and instead of always having to sell the item u can save up on 1/2 Tassets and zammy Spears and put them in a loottab, not having the concern to convert ur split-cash to platinum tokens just to keep track of it

Shard share is lovely, thats why the dev blog was changed

Did you even read the previous Devblog?
It was stated that if coinshare comes out,it will get sold in the ge for the highest price possible.
Which means no GP is generated, short term it will be flipped abit but in the longrun it's better.
