I think the range is to small and the speed to slow. I can pick it up clicking faster than it does for me. Also, standing in the midst of piles of gold sometimes nothing happens for 5~10 seconds before it starts picking up again. Either the feature works effectively, or get rid of it IMO.

Yeah I agree, the range needs to be bumped up by 25-50%. You almost need to be standing on top of the gold for it to pick up. It picks up fast it seems. I was able to swipe up all of the gold quickly in the side rooms of the Forgotten Tower 5.
There have been many times now where I kill an enemy, walk right over the enemy which dropped gold and it doesn’t pick up.

It works perfectly fine imo, if you can pick it faster with the normal pickup, just disable it.
I think it’s a nice compromise between having one that pickups gold from two meters away vs manual hand strain. I think it was made to relieve hand strain and help picking up gold on gamepad without making it too overpowered.
If you make the area too big, then it’s going to be a problem in MP when multiple players are too close. Who gets the gold then if multiple players overlap same pile.
Yeah, I hear that. I just find if I’m not standing right on top if it, it doesn’t work. That seems pointless IMO. Even just a small bump would be nice. 10~25%. Nothing crazy.
The speed is the biggest thing. If I walk over it, pick the damn the stuff up IMO.
The gold is split between everyone in the party that are in the same area/level.
Oh, if it’s already like that then I haven’t noticed nor remember, been a while since I played online 
If it’s not then that’s another thing to add and test, doubt they will do that until release amidst the amount of bugs that is still left.
I’d be fine with the range upped slightly.
I actually kinda like this, means the “optimal” way is still the oldschool way, but just takes a bit more clickyclicky “skill”…it’s kinda fun having that option, I too found I was able to loot faster by manually doing it.
I’m all for auto gold. I don’t have to worry about meticulously picking up all of the gold piles just to clear enough item label room for the potential hidden goodies to show up. It will make my magic find runs faster too. More loot! Wooot!
Pretty sure that this is by design by the devs. QoL changes…they chose to add auto gold pickup because…well…thats the norm now, but they were also consious of the original D2 experience, and chose to keep it tight so as not to have gold flying through the air all over as it were.
Yeah, I mean I like the clicky-clicky too, especially around items. Just saying if people don’t want it, they can turn it off. But if Blizzard is going to make it a feature, make it an actual feature, not a half-donkey one that’s all. It’s like lukewarm food; neither good, nor bad, just -meh- which is a waste of a feature.
I think the range should just be increased base on your light radius. Pick up all the gold in your pool of light.
