They are trying to improve the servers as much as possible. By you saying "it's not old school, keep that crap in RS3," you are basically indicating that the present system is perfect (it's not), and with your dim-witted mindset, you are preventing positive progress from being made.

You obviously didn't even read the initial thread. Don't sacrifice gameplay purely for the sake of nostalgia.

It would be perfect if we took out some of what we already had.. not add more.

I love the idea of lootshare, but agree with previous posts. The current idea of it just being a random split doesn't solve the fact that people are scamming, which is the whole reason why people ( who want it ) want it to be implemented.

The
only advantages
that this idea provides is that everyone in team has
equal chance at loot
AND
solo players are not disadvantaged
.

This is great, but again, it
does not solve
main issue;
scamming
.

"Unlike the previously offered LootShare systems, team damage will not be pooled. A LootShare team will only be awarded the drop if a member of that team dealt more damage to the boss than other players."

I prefer this more than the previous blog suggested but I still think it isn't needed for OSRS. Leader of

Why not just poll the coinshare you originally came up with?

That is a great idea, the whole point of lootshare/coinshare is to stop people scamming. Coinshare gets rid of the scamming element.

Edit: Instant share is the name you gave it i believe. That is a terrific idea.

People were worried if for example you got an elysian drop, it sold in the ge for only 700m instead of its current value of 769m. In my opinion, that would be the risk you take using instant share. Seems unlikely to me that i could just put an offer in for an elysian for 1gp and it would randomly buy because someone received an elysian split at corp.

People do not think properly sometimes =/

I would like to see CoinShare getting a Dev Blog too if LootShare fails/win,
there are ways to fix it up without touching the economy too much.

Even tho I "kinda" agree with no team pool damage, I would still like to get it polled. What are you, a concerned beaver?

Why did they scrap instant share? While I like the option of randomized drops, instant share would make it easy to PVM with random people without trust being an issue.... The issue of not getting full profits from the GE is a small price to pay for the comfort of trust. Why can't we have lootshare with an optional instant share?
