I know Jay is against this for some unknown reason, but I would like to again , ask for it to be instated into dRO......It's not like autoloot is overpowered or something....it just....autoloots for you >>

Autoloot in short

- Screws up economy (more money around = more things cost)
- Overpowers Alchemist class (Think autoloot + homun + 1 hour of AFKness)
- Is unfair for blacksmith class (renders their "greed" skill useless)
- Defeats the purpose of "looting" monsters
- Defeats the purpose of items "dropping" ingame.


As Jaylor said in a differnt topic ( with the exact same topic name >.<)
QUOTE
If RO was intended to be instantaneous like that, you'd get the items instantly as you kill the monsters already.


Luv Spex

autoloot is for nazis and GMs

spexa - October 4, 2007 01:51 AM (GMT)
Also that :P

Trunks - October 4, 2007 02:33 AM (GMT)
If RO was ment to let homunc think for themself, and have alchemists auto-pitch potions to keep them alive that would have been implemented as well. Seriously what economy does dRO have to worry about. Who cares if a blacksmith can't use 1 of their skills.

If your going to use the "RO doesn't have it we shouldn't either" point of view, than alot of other things in dRO should change too.

I don't get this point of Items "Dropping" in game. Who cares if they don't actually drop. If I am in a party the people I party with share, unless a certain someone is with us, then they just loot everything and say they got nothing out of it.

trunks don't be a nazi and click the damn items.

Jaylor - October 5, 2007 06:05 AM (GMT)
This is one thing I will never implement on DragonRO.

Items were meant to be dropped to the ground first in RO. That is how the game was designed. Why? Think about it. Killing things isn't enough to get an item. There's a twist. There's an amount of time where a monster can get to it first. There's a chance it will go away if you are swarmed and you can't get a chance to pick it up. People don't seem to realise that is how RO works. They complain that they didn't get a chance to get an item because of so and so, and the item should rightfully be theirs, but that's not how it works. You only get the item if you can get the item.

Second point. You don't have to be there to get the items? Why don't I just implement autoattack as well and then everyone can be bots.

Is clicking that item so hard?


Please note: this is not a flame post or meant to be agressive in any way, I am simply stating my opinion on why autoloot should not, and will not be enabled

Jay, I'm not going to fight this anymore, but I'd just like to point out your logic can be applied to everything else this server has. Job changer(Why spend all that time programing the quests if they were to be ignored), stat resetter( sure in iRO you can get ONE skill reset per character, thats it) the healer (if you wanted an insta heal, you had to go to an inn and pay for it), and the town warpers.

Jaylor - October 5, 2007 05:57 PM (GMT)
Yes but where do we draw the line?

Why not give everyone the @heal command? It's just like having someone who is an acolyte with you, it doesn't matter if we diminish that class's specialities.
Or how about @jump? People use flywings anyway, and we'll use the excuse 'we don't have an economy' to justify not having to buy them anymore.

Some npcs are fine for convenience, but I'm sorry the line has to be drawn somewhere, and I draw it around @autoloot.

Dose this mean no @blevel?

CuisinartBlade - October 7, 2007 06:00 AM (GMT)
here at dragonRO we don't take kindly to Nazi's. if you support @autoloot, then you support Nazi's. and you do NOT want to support Nazi's.

Seriously, this thread was dropped, Jay and I had our chat and he won.


Now stop calling me a Nazi you asshole.

DAN, YOU NAZI. STOP IT WITH YOUR AUTOLOOT, LAWLS.

Joking.

But yeah, if there was autoloot, then I would quit this server for sure, and you all know why.

elrahimo - October 10, 2007 07:33 PM (GMT)
Wow, now that i think about it autoloot is unfair. Because of all the reasons that Spexa stated earlier and more.
Also when you kill an MVP that drops good loot, (say in biolabs) if you cant survive to pick up the loot its only fair. Part of MVPing is being skilled enough to take the loot without being mobbed by HOWARDS THAT BLOODY STUN YOU WITH A f**kING LONG RANGE HAMMER FALL!!!
