I think this community just looks for anything to complain about. How does loot sharing effect anything with master looter? Can someone explain this to me? when you set up a raid you’ll be using master loot. When you run dungeons you’ll be using master loot.
People need to be able to have consequences for their actions, Being known as a ninja looter in vanilla will hurt you more than anything, you’ll actually get less gear by doing so, What I also don’t get with this whole ninja complaint is people can still ninja you without sharing. So what’s the argument?
How isn’t master looter a complaint but loot sharing is. Because the master looter can ninja loot you. 50 million tickets per year probably isn’t ideal as well. Open your eye people.

I think its good, I mean yeah if you’re a known ninja looter your character will be forever ruined and no one will want you in their guild. of course, that problem doesn’t exist in retail, because of the new loot system. But its an applicable risk to take.

I wouldn’t say it’s the Classic community as a whole that cares at all about loot sharing. I could care less about it. I agree with loot sharing.

The most common complaint I’ve heard is dungeons where you can stack your friends up with a pug or two and roll against them and funnel themselves loot. At least with no loot sharing ie: the clothy won’t roll on plate for their “tank” friend in fear that he wins it and can’t trade it too him. Allowing the pug dps warrior a fair chance.
As far as I remember people used to not run with group leaders who had master loot on because most of the time they were ninjas. And yes you can choose not to group with the “friends or guild group”
Me personally I don’t mind loot sharing or not I will just choose my groups carefully.

Yeah… it does open up more opportunity for friends to collaborate to ninja items.
But hey, without cross realm, realm ninja blacklists actually have a bit more weight again.
I don’t expect this kind of thing happening to be common, but it does open the possibility on BoP items.

Yeah, those that group ninja will gain negative reputations on their server, and justice will be served by that reputation.

Another reason why ML was horrible which I forgot was if a epic “boe” dropped the group lead would give it to himself 99.9% of the time regardless of who needed it because it was a free epic mount. So ML groups were a no go.

for me, it’s a matter of authenticity, modern wow had small change after small change to it that lead the game to have less meaning/impact to than vanilla and feel more of like a single-player, on developer driven experience, even in small details
if you got an item in vanilla that item is really yours and there was no getting rid of it, and it (in a small way) helped add to the feeling of importance/authenticity the item had, that it was an actual real item with a weight of value behind it
with loot trading, (especially with the blue text), it feels like the developers are saying “here buddy, you messed up, let’s give you a second chance with an arbitrary 2 hour time limit”, it’s somewhat of a “videogamey” mechanic, and detracts from the weight of having that item be a part of the world
is it small or will it lead to the ruin of vanilla? probably won’t, but i feel like it was these small kinds of “drive the player experience” changes that lead a lot of people to want vanilla back in the first place, so i would prefer it without it, especially since that’s how it was originally

On my server at least back in Vanilla using Master Looter in dungeons was extremely uncommon. Most people just set it to the default rolling, and if you ninjad something you got blacklisted.
Not to mention that Master Looter doesn’t stop people from rolling on an item their class can use, then simply trading it to their friend if they win because they don’t actually need it.

It’s not bad it just gives you 1 more reason to master loot and avoid all problems.
Well, ML will be used no matter what lol, Was back then. you really think raid groups of 40 people will not ML?
I was referring to dungeons as I said “Group lead” not “Raid lead” Obviously ML was only used in raids.

Except back then you know your server players and any ML who gave the BOEs to himself would never be in another good group again on the server…he would literally need a server transfer.
Ya, Not every but a lot dungeons master looted too.
I’m sure most Raid groups will use it, but my Guild runs will not use it. When you have this mentality that you deserve something you are doing it wrong. I’ll have no issues getting groups of 40 together with everyone knowing they have a chance to get loot, and it will add more people willing to join a group of players who just enjoy playing a game without thinking they deserve a reward.
LMAO good luck with a guild that raids with /roll
Well - one thing bad about it was that it wasn’t in Vanilla and doesn’t need to be in Classic.
You can say people are complaining and need to ‘open their eye’; but why are we starting to add things that we don’t need? There’s no reason for it.

Well since everything that matters will be ML the only thing loot trading does is allows you to fix a ML miss click without a ticket. As you can be sure ML leaders are going to be looking to see you equip your new shiney purple.
Hey look. It’s the pot calling the kettle black. Hypocrite.

This was explained to you in a similar troll thread you made last week, I’m not going to bother explaining it to you again when it didn’t take the last time.
