REQUEST: Please make pets collect craft materials

General Discussion
1

As title says, please make pets collect craft materials. I haven’t played for long time D3 and I was surprised that pets are still not collecting white, blue and yellow shards. No, I do not need them to pickup items, just those +1 materials that drop. (since it is to late to make pets usefull like in other ARPG games)

Please, make atleast this improvement.
Thnak you!

Cheers!

One of the most requested QoL improvements.

If pets picking up mats is “too much automation”, at least players should be able to walk over auto pick up mats, just like gold and blood shards.

Make Ferrets Great Again!!

Ever since Pets gained the ability to pickup gold, ferrets have become useless.

It’s year 2020 almost, why I can not get drops for other 3 people on split bounties by standing in town? I should be able to vacuum legendary items, gems, crafting materials, rare items, set items, bloodshards by idling. What? Too much server lag? Why? Too much automation would trivialize picking up items looted from monsters since crafting materials gives guaranteed high tier items?

To hell with game’s integrity, man. Dammit Blizzard get on it.

Picture this scenario:

I kill an elite pack and get Death’s Breaths and some random junk item. I carefully move the mouse cursor over the DB text and click it. My character goes and picks up the junk item instead of DBs. Happens 99% of the time.

Does opposition understand now why we want these QoL improvements?

Or when items all fall on same spot so you have to click on all of them just to get the last one :confused:

I totally forgot about ferrets. xD Are they still in the game? :smiley:

The things that people most frequently request pets be able to pick up - crafting materials, blood shards and gold - are all account bound items, i.e. even if players wanted to, it’s not possible for them to drop them for each other, and that do not take up inventory space.

Seriously?
If you took the time and care to move your mouse more deliberately and precisely, and took note of which item tooltip you are exactly hovering over, you would notice that the item picked up is whichever one you clicked on. 100% of the time.
If you try to pick up 1 item but pick up a different one instead, that is because of human error, 100% guaranteed. It is not because of an imaginary bug.

If this gets implemented there would be the “meta” pet to have followed you around. They are the fiery skulls, one red and one blue. These guys have such a huge range and fly super fast compared to other pets.

Just a thought. :face_with_monocle:

just no, do u want the whole game to be automatic?

then just get a bot like all the other ones who don’t like to pick up or even play the game

Thank you, some “players” are just so lazy.:-1: Next they will want the pets to wash the car, clean the house, do the dishes and cut the grass. :wolf:

I’d agree with his suggestion…

At this moment, only botters dont have problems picking up mats - THEY DONT PICK THEM UP! THEIR BOT DOES!
But legit players have to do the work? Sounds fair indeed.

That’s exactly what I do. I hover the cursor exactly on the DB text, make sure the DB text is highlighted instead of anything else and then click. Yet most of the time the other item gets picked up, not DBs.

Ah, here we go again. How many times have we had this topic?
Yes, it would be great. And no, it’s not gonna happen. Apparently, according to someone at Blizz (can’t recall who it was), having auto-pickup for mats would detract from the RPG experience. Auto-pickup for gold though, now that is something completely different… :roll_eyes:

this game hands everything to everybody that puts in a TINY bit of grinding, and all everyone does it complain. IT IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST EASY MMO ARPG GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED!! you guys need to go play something else thats doesnt cater to all of you casual played and learn what a real arpg is like, just go enjoy the game, nobody cares

Nope - just crafting materials.

This happens a lot because the gold next to it gets automatically picked up, and the text for the DBs gets moved to another place on the screen as you go to click it.

That explains the wrong items being picked up nicely. Have a like. :+1:

Because blood shards and gold are not equal to high tier items by flick of a finger and drops in mass.

But what about all the items you miss when doing split bounties? You should be able to get drops while not being there. We’re missing efficiency and Blizz must do something about it. I’m sure they’re entitled to spoil us by such QoL features which break the game itself.
