It takes the pleasure out of me. It gets boring, it takes the tension off me. As a trader, it takes away the value of the items. It takes everything I love from me and turns a perfect game into a casual noob grinding game like diablo 3.
Enough?
The last answer from me, don’t feel like repeating myself over and over again for people who don’t understand diablo 2 anyway.
you can guess whatever you want, if i want to talk to a sheep ill go to the local farm mate.
It doesn’t change the value of items though. What are you even talking about?
And again, it would be OPTIONAL.
Ok so I will play a long, Just like what you said “Why can’t another loot allocation method exist?”. Why do we need another loot method this one has been working fine for 20 years…
Because people are asking for another loot method. Why does it bother you? That’s the better question.
pLOOT = pvm 75 % afk while in pub, I can go to sleep that my loot objects will still be on the floor when I wake up
i do respect your opinion though , you are a nice and polite forumer even if there’s a few points we may not agree with (which is normal , no ones have the exact same preferences , opinion or even experiences ) , we both love the game and know how to stay polite
Thank you i can only return the favor and say the same about you.
Back to the topic. 
That one item, that you get because you clicked faster than others on a Baal run might be an upgrade for your character, might complete your build or might give you the possibilty to trade for an item you need. With that you can kill mobs faster and get you on a higher spot in the ladder. That depends on what the ladder will be based off.
It is luck dependant regardless because the item need to drop first but then you also need to get it by clicking on it. It is in your hand to increase your chances. What strategy you use is part of evolving as a player and your overall expirience with the game in a multiplayer setting.
People already afk and leech a ton in pubs. Lol.
Of course, it affects the value of the items. It influences the entire system because everyone has the chance of equal loot, regardless of whether you leech as lvl 10 in the diablo run or lvl 90 lead the runs. It changes everything, why don’t you get it?
tbf i maybe understood it wrong in this case^^
giving the people randomly their loot seems even worse imo.
seeing 8 people standing around baal and for the last 10% hp you wont see any dmg incoming because everyone just click buttons to loot whatever will pop out 
pure d2! ^^
people can still play alone if they want and get alllll the loot that drops for themself.
it just feels awesome when a HR drops everyone clicks on it and YOU are the one that got it.
but seriously d2 dont need to change its lootsystem. the game is how it is please think about it. why do you think the game is still so popular because the lootsystem was that garbage that it needs changes?
ofc people can have their opinion but it seems already like so many people begging for changes in the lootsystem that it will not be good for the game.
and im 100% sure im not the only one thinking about it like this.
people just dont want to do what it takes to get the loot. they want it the easy way. thats all this p.loot is.
People already leech and don’t attack. As someone was saying earlier, people already stop attacking Baal etc and just wait for the items to fall.
It doesn’t change the total # of drops either.
Feels much more rewarding as is to be able to pick something up before some one else.
At home we have a Chinese calendar, in it you are assigned an animal according to your date of birth, in my family there are several rats and no one is offended.
I understand all these points.
That is why you will still be able to play FFA-loot. You are not forced to use the other option.
So this argument does not really apply as a counter argument against an option.
Explain to me why.
The economy literally has the same items in it. If anything it will increase your item values because there are less items on the market (because people will use, stash or sell them).
What is that everything? You can still play FFA, trading is unaffected. What is that everything?
Because ~50% of the currently active forum users are asking for it.
Add proximity check, activity check or timeout to become ffa loot then.
All easy fixes. Problem solved.
Exp leech is different from loot leech. Leeching will become a main component because you basically don’t have to do anything anymore. You don’t even have to be active anymore to get items. Bad … Very, very bad argument.
but at least people are attentive to looting, throw an HR to the ground, you will see how there is no nafie afk
That’s a lie. The likes of the stop change are significantly higher.
Whoever shouts loudly draws attention to himself, but is not the majority.
People already loot leech too lol. Have you never seen people join chaos runs as low levels and still snag loot? Like what even… They could even implement a person loot timer where if they don’t grab it within a few seconds, anyone can.
