Well, firstly, thank you for that slight on my sanity. 
The implementation you are describing is very specific though. I wasnât making the assumption there would be 8 times as much loot as there currently is in an 8 player game.
Reading about loot drops for LoD right now. Looks like the loot dropped for everyone does increase based on the number of factors such as players and distance. So you already get a lot more loot when in groups. More for the melee classes and pickit players to suck up.
I honestly havenât seen pro-Account Bound items or pro-CD talk at all on the forums and Iâve been trying to read most of the threads.

If you didnât know that the loot drops increased based on the number of players I canât imagine you played too much of the game that was a pretty like core mechanic to encourage group play⌠But part of this change was also to accommodate for more players in the game not just to add more loot per person.

What? I always assumed it was close to 4-5 times the loot. Not sure what point you are trying to make. So if we had Group loot it would be more like X2 loot dropped and not X8.
If personal loot is a thing, even an option, Iâm instantly getting a refund.

Just as you have a choice of up to 8 player game, would a choice for shared drops work during game create?
Personal yes - if trading are possible and free and no stupix Character-bound

true that
once item is received it could be tradable
character bound is similar to anya putting your name on it
just sayin
Let Diablo 2 stay as close to the original game as possible.
Stop being a crazy one who want to change everything. This is a remaster.
I thought people would be happy about it, now people want to change things.
I donât know how many times I should say that. It feels no one knows what remaster means.
If they change too much, Diablo 2 Resurrected is becoming an another failure.
This game was meant for Diablo 2 fans, not Diablo 3 fans. Stop ruining it.

If we can get past attacking straw men that donât play D2, want to turn D2R into D3, and will quit shortly after release*, Iâm genuinely interested in peopleâs concerns and whether they can be addressed.
I have heard the following points:
- The trade economy is affected if the overall amount of loot is changed
- Players will leech if they get items without hitting the monster
- The player base is split if the option is per-game instead of per-player
- Some people enjoy fighting over loot
- Change is bad
These are definitely all things that would need to be taken into account. If there are other points Iâd be interested to hear.
* If it helps to assuage your fears, I still play D2 more than D3 and the auto-gold-pickup option is a bit too much of a departure for me. I like clicking on things.
People scrambling to grab at loot before itâs even dropped is dumb, not fun and half the time someone dies over it. Personal loot is a no brainer change that supports people actually co-operating while farming bosses rather than trying to solo bosses in a full game so that they can get all the drops. Not to mention carrying a Diablo run just for a level 2 knob to run in and steal the drops is lame as heck.

All of those are auto disqualifiers for me. But on top of that personal loot just makes you feel less connected to the same game world as other players in the game. I donât like it

Maybe you should just get a faster mouse instead of crashing the item economy because item drops are too stressful for you

the item economy in Diablo 2 is hot garbage. Maybe you should play it once before posting?

Thank you, that is a point I can relate to. I think thatâs definitely a potential downside of playing with personal loot, especially if itâs done in a way where players canât see each otherâs drops.
