Guild Wars 2

A real Auto-Loot function would actually automatically loot kills without requiring the press of an <F> key. That’s how many other games do it.

Agreed. It’s especially annoying in WvWvW. They changed it so loot appears at your feet, which doesn’t help at all since there’s no reason to stand still in WvWvW if you’re not on a siege weapon, and sometimes you get kills during a losing battle.

I would definitely want this

Yes it is annoying trying to fight in WvW and then having to run back for your loot bag because you have moved away from the mass AoE pummeling you.

In WvW I would much prefer having the option for my loot to appear directly in my inventory. Having to manually pick up drops during huge, intense battles is inconvenient at best (and often impossible) because it’s easy to leave drops behind (and sometimes not be able to reach them later). I’ll even be killed in the middle of a massive enemy group with multiple loot bags around my corpse that are impossible to reach before they despawn.
In PvE I can live with auto-loot as it is now; however, I see no reason not to give players the option to automatically loot kills they walk over if that’s what the desire.

+1 to this, especially in WvW.

Autoloot minis ^^

I just made a post about this earlier today specifically targetting WvW. It got not responses and was booted to page 2.

/facepalm

probably one of the most desired options!

To my knowledge this is a tough coding issue, but they need to make things like this a priority.

+1 to this definitely. At least let us autoloot on walking over a bag/corpse

This is a great idea, but it makes the game less realistic if bags just magically appear in your inventory. If a mini could auto-loot for you then this will not be an issue

I dislike the whole air of entitlement going on here even in wvw why should loot be automatically put in your inventory? For convenience?
Bah humbug I say, although the idea of auto loot minis sounds good and it gives a practical usage to mini pets

I have several screenshots of being dead with 10+ bags of loot around me.

While I hate that, I like it this way, makes us keep awareness for what we want…loot or survival.

Last I checked, this thread was posted in the “suggestions” forum, not the “demands” forum. I see no air of “entitlement” (which doesn’t mean what you think it means) here.

I would love to have a real autoloot system. You can say what you will, but my enjoyment of the game is not based on manually pressing “F” over and over to loot my items. It would be better in both WvW and PvE in my opinion.

I can see it already – WvWvW players crying themselves to sleep when their bags are full and every time a tagged target dies they get a loot screen popping up all over their screen since the bags are full. I forsee a similar thread to this crying for removal.

Probably not……Its called buy more bags.

real auto loot would be great. some other game (I’m trying to remember which one, but my brain doesn’t want to cooperate) made it when you finished a zone you got a list of all the loot you forgot to pick up. you then could sort through it and discard/take what you wanted. something like this would be nice.. like a loot-npc I can visit which stores all my lootbags. if I don’t pick something up for 1 day, it disappears. this would allow us to just loot once before we leave wvw, right where all the vendors are etc..

I have characters with all bag slots opened and biggest bags. I still get full bags after a long run in WvW. When I pvp, last thing I think about is going to a vendor. When you then end up in a battle where everything is “auto-loot” then you’ll be spammed with loot windows when there’s no slots left.

So no, it’s not called “buy more bags”, maybe it’s then called “Try spamming F whilst moving and still pvping, or if that’s a problem a classic term of L2P?”

Cumbersome UI is not a case of learn 2 play, its a case of learn 2 program (for Anet).

That’s how many other games do it.

But other games also have better coders.
