Guild Wars 2

The current system of loot bags in WvW when you kill someone just doesn’t work very well. I will admit, in small fight where you have time to loot after you kill someone, the current system works fine. However, the fast pace nature of WvW does not make it easy to “run around and loot everything” since doing this does not help contribute to the ongoing fight. It’s very frustrating to have to make a conscious decision about whether or not to go grab a loot bag, or continue fighting and forget about the loot bags. My idea is to just make all of the loot just auto-loot to you after you kill someone, or just make all of the loot go to a “chest” that you get once you leave WvW. This would allow us to continue playing and not have to worry about losing loot all of the time because you didn’t have a chance to pick it up. Please consider making a change to the current system, since it is somewhat frustrating as it is.

its not like great loot drops anyways. Its always teh same 1 badge of honor, or 2 badges of honor, and usually a blue item.

Why not make badges of honor a character/account bound currency like karma that is auto looted. That way we automatically get them from kills!

I would prefer all loot removed from WvW, and get more badges of honor (as a currency would be great), and make all siege purchasable from badges of honor. Separate PVE gold from having such a large effect on WvW.

Wait…I thought siege was purchasable for badges of honor…or am I being silly?

Yes, it is. I would like it to be purchasable only from badges of honor. Not from gold. They can change the drop rate for badges of honor, if they see it is not enough.

I would love to see that to! Make it happen Anet!

The whole point of this idea was that the current system doesn’t work with the fast paced nature of combat in WvW. I’m looking for some sort of solution over having to run around and click bags of loot that you rarely have time to do.

In my opinion the bags should automatically be looted to your inventory as a container item that stacks to 250. Just like the bags you get in PVE. Then later you can open them at your own convenience and deal with their contents at that time.

I agree…I don’t know how many badges of honor I’ve must have lost for not looting right away and then having to escape or died.

Who knows but it’s probably too many to count…

I have to agree with auto looting to your bags. WvW is far too mobile to try and pick bags up.

Trying to PvP and pay attention to loot bags is a bit silly.

I really like the idea of the items going into your inventory as a stackable bag so you don’t have to deal with inventory while PvPing.

Agreed, the current loot system in wvw is just too clumsy.

They did change it though, if you have been in WvW recently. Drops now spawn by you when you kill a player, so simply turn on auto-loot and hit f as soon as you kill some1.

I think I remember something about a developer talking about this. It used to be that you had to run up and loot the bags in beta and then they made it so the bags came to us. It brought up the question why we didn’t just auto-loot everything and I think a guy from ArenaNet tried to explain that there was an issue they had with putting it in. Anyways, I think ArenaNet does want to come up with a better loot system.

I like Sonickat’s suggestion.
