Guild Wars 2

AOE loot option that you can turn on or off from your options page is needed.

Holding the Activate key for 1 second or so should try to loot everything within a Meteor Shower radius.

I definitely want to see area looting added as soon as possible. SWTOR was the first game I played that had it, and it was one of those convenience features that just makes so much sense you really hate going back to playing without it. I wouldn’t want to have to hold down the key for it, though…a simple toggle in the options to turn on an area loot within 900 range or so would work great.

Haha, that’s just lazy! :P
You could do what they did on Flyff and make the mini pets loot for you! You wouldn’t even have to press F once, think of the time saved. XD

Oh god please. Calling convenience lazy in a game thats only real innovation that’s good is general convenience. No more walking to quest hubs? You’re just lazy! No waiting to travel? You’re just lazy!

This game is all about convenience over MMO strict rules, and this is a convenience that other MMO’s have and are implementing.

other games you mean WoW?

whats so hard to press F few times?

AoE loot will only make bots more efficent

The fact that while trying to loot, I’ll end up rezzing useless NPCs, picking up broken bottles, talking to NPCs that noone wanted ressed in the pirst place… need I continue?

So? Put an ad on craiglist: GM wanted, 100 positions to be filled. They will answer tickets quickly by teleporting to the reported person have a look at what they do and permaban accounts. That and only that will stop bots.

Punishing players to make botting a bit more of a hassle is not a good descision.

“Will only make bots more efficient”

And yet AoE looting is going to be a problem… As Phooka has said, it removes annoyances during mass zergs, accidental Banner Pickups, Revives of NPC’s that semi-locks you in to a strange animation that does nothing for a second.

Nothing is “hard” about pressing F a few times. Hell, it would be faster probably if i was just killing 1 mob at a time, but once theres a pile of 20 mobs sitting on the ground, as well as banners, turrets, dead NPC’s and more, a one click Loot-all button is a smart, convenient add-on that has no negative side.

Literally your only argument is “you’re lazy” “lol make it like wow” and “but then bots will be better!”. Bots shouldn’t exist, full stop. No game is “being like WoW” by adding in a commonly wanted feature based around Loot, which is not WoW originated surprisingly. And for the lazy comment, refer to my previous post about convenience being this games main advantage over other MMO’s. Its smart and gives players the convenience they’ve always wanted.

Selling on trading post from anywhere make bots more efficient too….
