Drops are for everyone and when unscrupulous players take advantage of the situation, there is a problem.
People have been bitching about drop clickers ever since the no-maze catacomb was introduced. But there was always one constant. The items dropped at the monsters. Not any place you desire.

The reason the drop box is bad is because it requires zero effort to follow the game of ladder slasher. A person like myself who does 1,100 average damage at level 55 does not have a liberty to sit there attacking one monster every mob spawn as a guy who does 50 average damage does. These people are taking advantage of the situation with a drop box placement and reaping the benefit of every users work. Additionally, there is NO ADVANTAGEOUS placement of the drop box for a proactive user except at the BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. Any other location blocks user statics, monsters, or vital information. As a very proactive slasher, my drop box must remain on the bottom of the screen which also disadvantages me as an individual trying to be the most productive player in my group.

At least before, they had to "follow" the monsters to have a chance in hell to drop click. Now all you have to do is mindless click and suck everything up.
This is certainly a problem.

Tom please have my babies.
Thank you for putting what everyone who hates the box is thinking down.

Now that all the QQ'ing has taken place... how about coming up with a suggestion instead...

First of all... whether 1 character deals 1.5+ K Crit to another doing 200 crit, does not mean to say that the drop should go to the big baddass in team, there is no "I" in "team"... and catacombs is team. Yes... in every game... there are those that are unscrupulous... now we need a way to stop it.

This should be implemented:
1. Drops ONLY appear once ALL monsters are killed (FFA)
.. only thing is the "drop box" and back to the old EP shite... but removes the campers.
2. Drop box ONLY appears with all items AFTER the last monster has been killed...
.. Maybe the driver can have the option to turn OFF the toggle of the Drop Box and have it not activated until end of monster kills

decent idea, but what if you come up against a 6 mob EP - kill 3 of them then run out of mana whatever and you have to run, not getting the drops from the ones you've already killed?

Compared to campers being in the same game and getting the drops already... it would be a loss that I can deal with...
and this would have to be the same for you or others as well... can we accept that loss? or do we change our game
strategy to deal with that issue?

or simply put it back to how it was. Free for all is all and well. I can compete with anyone who is killing or not killing before.

How many times have you honestly seen updates revert backwards? In my time here (short as it is)... I have seen enough proof that this MAY not happen, so... what can we suggest that is not reverting backwards... but moving forward to what has been already implemented?

i love how all the people who voted no on my suggestion: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=37480220&p=245651520
are now crying.

since the main reason for all the no votes in my thread were the junk drops you grabbed by accident, people should be happy now.

im getting a lot more items that i try to grab now, so imo the update was an improovement and makes the game more fair

I have to concur on that... even my suggestion got craps kicked out of it... based on the same subject.

and this is why paul probably doesnt pay attention to our suggestions, because someone always complains
he suggests a more "fair" way for drops to fall and you say "but i want more drops :cry:

"

i think the main problem lies with most of you being greedy
i guess thats why i dont get the big deal here... i dont play expecting to get drops, i play becaus eits a fun game to play while doing other things. It seems like a lot of you are in it just to make fg

It''s because your suggestion sucked.
Your wording is awful and for every wrong reason. Really, if all drops were how you wanted it, we would grab so much shit it would not be productive at all.

I have no problems at all with the previous positions. You did.

i wouldn't use the word "saintdom" to describe how i act... more like realism
perhaps, you should try it
