#55, "A max of lootable items."


          

Well, since latly the attitude on CF has become worse in the respect of full looting and such perhaps over a period of time there should be put in a "max" amount of items being lootable from a corpse? Not including gold, potion, wands etc. Only from the gear. Perhaps a total max of four or five items? Just for a month or two to see if it can change the attitude.

Or, make it so that someone outside of ones PK range can't loot your corpse, since that is the most annoying way to lose your hard earned gear. (For me it's the only time I really get annoyed when playing, mob death or death in a town and instantly 5-6 lvl 15s start looting up. heh)

Perhaps it would help the attitude around a bit? But what do I know.

Always shoot first and then call whatever you hit the target.

If anything, full looting doesn't happen nearly as often as before. Especially in the hero ranks.

If I got the 5 items and still wanted more, I'd probably be shadowing him until he was solid again. Not to be a ####, but because there was still more I wanted.

I don't know that I agree with you, I've seen way more people taking a handful of items and leaving a bunch behind than I ever have in my thousands of hours here.

I don't see this changing anyones attitude. How do you deal with embalm destroying a corpse? How do you deal with butchering corpses? How do you deal with NPC's looting? What happens if you are ganged down by 3 folks, do they each get 5? You're still naked at that point.

In my opinion the playerbase has done a better job of not being full-loot-whores. It's not 100% and it never will be. Part of that is the design of limited items and circulating gear. The level 15 guy that full loots the heroes Hell set of gear that he's had for months means other people are finally getting use out of it. I know that if I finally get to take down the <insert super-powered enemy here>, that I'm going to make sure they don't get to be super-powered again quickly.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Low levels looting hero corpses still suck when it happends. hehe

Always shoot first and then call whatever you hit the target.

I don't want to hire someone else to do it for me. I want immediate, personal gratification of my basest desires for revenge.

At the very least, when the few times the bozo gets kicked away from the corpse due to corpseguard, let him feel some pain.
