If one inspects the image, there are two distinct tweets that Rod responds to. In the bottom half of the image, he reaffirms that Blizzard has discussed adding optional personal loot and that it would not be added at D2R launch. He further states that if (and emphasis on if) personal loot would be introduced, it would be at game creation and players would opt-in.

In the top half, Rod is responding to a tweet where someone is concerned that the D2 loot experience (FFA loot) would be altered in D2R. This tweet was 8 minutes after the other tweet. Rod assures that FFA loot will continue to exist in perpetuity in D2R and not to worry. This quote does not exclude the possibility of introducing optional personal loot later that is opt-in since the original FFA loot experience still remains preserved for anyone who wants that experience.

Out of curiosity, was Personal Loot ever discussed here on the forums in regards to Opt-In via Game Creation? I just realized I never personally thought about it in that form and realized that actually would be an entirely 100% acceptable way to implement it. (and if I did, I don’t remember and didn’t come to this realization before lol)

Player chooses to join game and accepts full responsibility for reading lobby details. I see no reason not to. I’m still pro FFA and all of my lobbies and any joined would be for certain FFA, but I’m down with this. Provided, y’know, it isn’t entire loot table instanced loot per player
