This forum is not overwhelmingly against adding a personal loot option. In fact, the only poll that I know on this forum that asked to choose either personal loot or FFA loot. There was no option to pick that middle ground of adding optional personal loot. This poll was in the last week. Even in the highly skewed population of this forum that required D2R pre-order to post, 39.8% voted for personal loot.
Do I need to link that too? NVM
