Ok so you're saying, the game is equally fair latency wise, even with US vs Europeans ? You do know, the server is located in the states right? Have you ever tried connecting to a EU server, and done a !ping vs !ping on a US server? (I'm guessing you're from the states). Now this taken into consideration, I dont see how ANYONE can say the current system, is fair, REGARDLESS of you guys getting lagspikes aswell from time to time. I've heard from many Europeans who have had 2-3sec lags, I've experienced it myself many times, on chests etc, I dont even get to see the items, I dont see the driver move around, I just see waves, and their health bar drops instantly, cause it's lags so much, but hey, like you said, it's fair.

Why is it, in the many topics currently or within the last 2 weeks where people from europe are complaining about the lag, there are many people from europe saying they are not experiencing this? Yes, I think currently there may be an issue which to what I've read is located in Germany, where there is an issue between their server and the server on jsp. A few weeks ago it wasn't an issue for a lot of them though. So because their server is having some kind of problem(or isn't depending on what you wish to believe) is not a reason to make a change. I find it UNFAIR to share drops in this manner. Drop picking may not be a "skill" but those of us that have the "not a skill" worked to achieve the timing and development of our clicking muscles to get those drops. I find it unfair that someone else should get what I worked for. I find it exactly the same as me working all week long and then having to share my paycheck with someone that didn't work at all. To me it's just plain unfair and wrong.
Now, I've also had games where I didn't see any items from a chest, just instantly there were a lot of remarks of who picked up what. I find that frustrating but not unfair. It happens to me and on the reverse side I've been in games where I got all the items from a chest(or whatever I chose to pick up) because they had lag. It's completely fair, it happens to us all, there is no bias.

Someone who actually understand how it would work, and see the fact this can be disabled if ppl dont like it, I'm amazed

Thanks for the input Cylon, it's appreciated.
I understand what you are getting at perfectly(at least in my mind it is). Just because we disagree does not mean we don't understand, it means we don't agree with it. Turning it off or on isn't a vote for it's favor, the fact that there are so many people at any given level and usually not enough for several teams(depending on time of day) makes it more of a issue of "do you want to level or not?" thing over a drop thing. If you only want to hear(read) that people agree, then please just state that instead of saying "so please if you dont agree, that's fine, but express yourself in a respectful and constructive way"
I told you my reasons for not wanting such an implementation, if you wish for me to expound upon them so you understand more clearly, then I can.
