guild sharing loot/ stats
-
one of the most annoying things in AO was that you had to join a guild, and the worst about that was, you had to share your loot in PVE and guild member could have seen your level at every thing.
so basically you couldn't go PVE without higher guild rank/member take the loot, if they even allow you to go PVE since you had to get an higher gather leveling.
so i wonder how will it be here? can a single member decline showing his stat ? and refuse to share loot ?

@grofire
That sounds like slavery!starts scheming
-
@jetah ya that was like that... that one of the reasons why AO is a bad game.
-
what do you think @Specter @Prometheus ? will there be an explanations in next spotlight ?
-
Thank god I never played that game. Sounds down right like an atrocious design decision.
-
@grofire The next spotlight is going to be about the city mechanics so I doubt that the next spotlight will adress your question. Maybe Prometheus will adress your question, but he's quite busy right now.
-
@specter OK thanks, it's important for me to know.

In a games like that, you just need to find yourself a good guild.
- no one is forcing you to join bad guilds.
- no one is forcing you to stay in a bad guild once you have seen it's bad
- if there is no good guilds out there, you are free to create one yourself and recruit (more people like you out there)
If you are lazy to search for a good guild, or to put in effort to create your own guild, set by your rules and standards, than that is your own problem.
That being said, I hate rotten guilds too.
-
@gothix you need to play AO to understand, without a huge guild you can't play, and all the big guilds are bad.
-
Devs said that solo game play will be viable. We'll see in next spotlight about towns how much of that will be doable without a guild. But exploration and PvE will be ok for solo player for sure.
-
@tulukaruk my question is different, if im in guild how it will be... because i do want to be in a guild just do not want the game mechanize help exploit the guild member.
-
If 90-99% is soloable then how are members exploited?
-
@jetah if you want to play with others and not alone, but not share your loot.
-
Depends if loot settings. it could be free for all, round robin, random, or instanced. [for a period of time]
-
@jetah but who decide ? if i decide to share my loot that cool, but if someone else decide for me then that bad.
-
@grofire
who's the party leader?
-
@jetah someone else, but that my point, shouldn't be party leader choice.
-
I’ve played WoW and it’s party or raid leaders choice. I’ve played Diablo 3 and it’s instances loot.
Not sure what answer you want to hear because it could be any of them.
If your in a guild that forces slavery then don’t stay in.
-
@jetah why it need to be party leader choice? What kind of answer is it, since some game do it like this then it should be like this ?
It's stupid, only the player should be able to choose if he share or not!

@grofire said in guild sharing loot/ stats:
@jetah someone else, but that my point, shouldn't be party leader choice.
@grofire Why are you lazy to form your own party then?
Just go LFM in zone chat, and be patient till you collect people for your party. Then when YOU are party leader (after you've put in time/effort to recruit) you can ask other members of your party how they like loot, and you can vote and then you set it like that.
Most people are just lazy to search for themselves (to form parties, to create their own guilds and recruit, etc.) and then they expect that someone else does all the work, but still expect that "stuff" be like they want.
Again mate, if you don't like what exists out there, you are free (like anyone else) to put in some effort and form your own groups, and then set them up as YOU like.
