Personal loot would destroy Party and Quest system

I agree it would definitely make the multiplayer base bigger. Probably not 10X, but I do agree a lot more people

Personal loot will promote more players in multiplayer games. You are correct since it reduce the effects of cheaters and eliminate ninja looters.

@Gunz-2100

people these days are lazy and want a much more casual experience where they can just drone out and leech with no competition.

This is a broad overgeneralization. The fact is that FFA loot in D2 can lead to a much more casual experience where there is no competition or even a requirement to even be in the same area when a monster is killed.

A character can wait in town twiddling their thumbs and wait for the others to entirely clear a map. In a personal loot game , if the town character goes to the cleared area, they get no loot whatsoever. In a FFA game in D2, they can grab all the uncollected loot in the cleared ma without any risk.

Therefore, FFA promotes the freeloader just chilling in town waiting for others to do the work where that can get gear after the work is done. Personal loot at least requires you to be in close proximity and potentially harms way,

Also, I see that you made the faulty argument that personal loot players need a penalty. You completely ignore the fact that in an 8 player game, each FFA player sees 8X total drops while in personal loot game each player only sees on average 1X drops. In the personal loot system, it will be harder to gear up. If you really want a “penalty” for the easier mode, I would just warn you to be careful what you wish for since you might get it.
