Personal loot woot! I don’t get the argument of free for all… go play with friends, position yourself better.
I think in a large part, the community helps keeps the game alive and promoting systems for multiplayer helps with that. With personal loot, people are more likely to group with randos and make NEW friends.
In terms of position, personal loot doesn’t punish range based players.
I just don’t get the mentality of free for all. Even with personal loot, you can still share a looting experience with your close friends since you can still share your own loot with everyone else.
In short, personal loot promotes multiplayer, which helps build a community to extend the longevity of the game.
