Loot Trading in Classic *updated*

[Yoinke-frostmourne]

Great compromise! Thanks

[Roam-hakkar]

Quite perfect.

[Meemuu-ysera (Meemuu)]

A very welcomed announcement. Thank you.

[Clasico-arthas]

except UBRS will still be a problem because it gets pugged most of the time

UBRS doesn’t have raid lock, so it isn’t considered to be a raid in this thread’s case.

[Tarregor-dalaran (Tarregor)]

oh i didnt notice the second post
now theres just right-click report and making sure they don’t shard AQ or the scourge invasion left

[Tisku-zuljin]

I couldn’t be happier with this decision. Thanks blizzard!

[Vaelxo-frostmourne]

Imagine if they listened to the current retail audience the way they listen to us. They would have pvp vendors, the titanforge system would be scrapped, they never would have bungled azerite the way they did (feedback was posted loud, often, and concise during beta), no forced personal loot, and classes wouldn’t be so awful to engage in that no matter how good the current content is that the awful xbox controller design of my hacked up chewed and spit out class (no not just the character im posting from) makes the game literally unplayable.

Those poor people.

[Chalices-moon-guard (Chalices)]

I will say limiting the plausible chances of accidents is a good change. It was a feature people begged for in Classic too.

Quality of life changes like mechanics. (Loot trading, bug fixes, etc) should be welcomed. But major stuff that caused a rift on how we approach dungeons, raids, and content should remain expansion exclusive.

[Jukethisxo-wyrmrest-accord]

This makes me so happy. THANK YOU for listening Blizzard. Hopefully the classic team can turn this into what OSRS was for runescape.

[Youngwidow-proudmoore]

Hell yeah.

[Plowshares-lightnings-blade]

UBRS is a raid, does this count? will all our pre-bis items from UBRS get ninjad forever anyways. Loot trading UBRS is a massive problem

[Jklockedout-proudmoore (Jklockedout)]

Reading is fun.

The answer to the UBRS question is: loot trading will be available in content that has a raid lock. UBRS will not have a raid lock.

A big part of loot trading (in a 2-hour window) as a solution to a concern is that raid locks require you to wait a week (or 3 days) before you can try again for the loot that was accidentally given to the wrong person.

[Youngwidow-proudmoore]

You have to be kidding. First of all they said this is based on 1.12 but they’ll determine which patch applies best to certain features. This is a mix of that. How you can be butthurt about this is beyond me.

[Carohtar-tichondrius]

This is great news! This makes me very happy indeed. Although I’m disapointed by the 1.12 AV post, it’s great that Blizzard is listening to us Vanilla fans and allowing us to help craft the Classic we want.

[Blighty-barthilas]

Perfect! That resolves all of my concerns regarding loot trading in 5-mans.

[Blighty-barthilas]

hurray!
now only PuG raids will suffer, and most people don’t do those except to maybe gear their alts or raid really casually or get hydraxian rep(in which case loot is usually reserved for the primary guild) in the first two months anyway!

A lot of PuG raids will use (and historically have used) ML anyway, just because there’s still so much potential to grief and/or mess up rolls when there’s that many players/pieces (regardless of loot trading).

[Flickshot-nagrand]

you say it right there in your opening post, “something added in Wrath of the Lich King”

it wasn’t in vanilla wow yet you persist in having it in some form in vanilla wow.

[Tarregor-dalaran (Tarregor)]

oh right, master loot
well pug raids are probably gonna have a low amount of, uh, well it wouldn’t be so easy to trust a pug raid anyway
so yeah great news!

[Cottoñ-sargeras (Cottoñ)]

Beautiful!! Thank you devs<33! All thats left to deal with is sharding and we have a perfect classic!

[Guilotine-zuluhed]

Good decision!
