You will ruin this game with Personal Loot

However what if that B level player follows A level around, and based on drop luck, he gets all the A level items instead and did not kill a single thing? What if he wants B level gear and it only dropped for A level player who left it and now its lost… VS how it works now, A picks up A, B picks up B, everyone wins, gee that sounds like a better system than Ploot where more items on average will be left on the ground.

Loot drops are random. In an 8 player game setting over time, the average likelihood that an A item drops and B-item drops will be equally likely for each player with the knowledge that their is binomial variance.

You could get cases where what you say happens; however over time the relative variance/standard deviation with respect to the average of the binomial distribution decreases as the number of drops increases. Mathematically, what I say is true over the long haul and not for a small sample set of n events.

This still follow the binomial distribution. The longer you play, you also have periods where good drops cluster together.

Total Item drops (n)	Average Expected Drop Percentage ± 3 SD [~99.7% probability that each case of sample size n will fall within this range, SD = standard deviation which is the square root of the variance)
100	12.5% ± 10.7%
1000	12.5% ± 3.4%
10000	12.5% ± 1.1%
100000	12.5% ± 0.3%
1000000	12.5% ± 0.1%
