From what I've read in Mod Ash's reply to a similar question, the broadcasting system only says who and what good drop a person has received.

Correct. If we did it, it'd be a broadcast system saying who got a drop. It wouldn't make any difference whatsoever to who gets the drop.

Teams were fighting bosses long before LS was added to RuneScape. They relied on their friends' honesty to share loot fairly at the end of their raid. In late 2007, when the trade limit was added to RS, they couldn't share loot manually anymore, so the LS system was created to help. It wasn't ideal, but it was better than nothing.

You guys don't have a trade limit, so you can continue sharing loot around your team as you see fit, without Jagex getting involved.

However, for the benefit of people who don't trust their friends to tell the truth about good drops, we could install a simple broadcast system to tell everyone in the room what items had been dropped, and to whom. They'd still be left to share it out manually, like they did in 2007 and before.

But does the drop still only go to the person who dealt the most damaged or will it be randomised amongst the team?

If it's currently going to the person who dealt the most damage, that's what it'll keep doing. A broadcast system would broadcast messages, nothing else.

We don't actually have the game engine features that let us do stuff with chat-channels, so we wouldn't be able to identify your "team" to share the loot, even if we had a reliable pricing system for it.

Brilliant read, nice to have insight on what is to come.

Really glad OSRS finally has it's tools! As always I'll be waiting with anticipation to see what's around the corner. Really can't wait for Nightmare Zone, though now I have started over again on Old School I guess I better start questing!

P.S, glad you've made the decision to keep the cow. :P

well no LS damn that not good at all
what if you dont have good and trustworthy friends at all ! even though the guy who dealt the most damage gets the loot and the chat shows who got the loot dosent mean that he will share the loot , he will simply put his teammates to ignore list and never share the loot ! LS is need maybe only for GWD bosses ?

Dude it isn't as bad as you think, people were bossing long before lootshare and most of us hated lootshare when it came out. Just boss together and split the big drops, if you can't find someone trustable then hope you get the drop and good luck. Broadcast system is more than enough.

"Bear in mind that we can't create new models. We can only re-use existing ones"

I have to say this is odd, is it a lack of know how coding to add them, or graphic dev?
I could do those both, but you guys always turn me away when I do an app-.-
