Guild Wars 2

I can’t tell you how many times in WvW that I died and couldn’t pickup my loot bag. Or had a long drawn out fight and having to run back to get loot bags and fall behind your zerg that is taking supply camps/towers/keeps. Also while controling a piece of seige you have to pickup loot bags but lose control of your siege equipment, then take control again or lose it to another player. So just add auto looting in WvW only. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with this so much and in addition to the reasons already stated above I would like to add this. The game already moves the loot to you but the problem is combat in this game is not static at all (which is a good thing) you are constantly moving, evading ect. So you kill someone or something… it drops the loot at your feet but I’m not even there at that time because I am constantly on the move. Having the game auto dump the look into your bag might sound a little “cheap” but considering the fighting style and combat this game is centered around I think it makes a lot of since and I would love to see this implemented.

You should get atleast a badge per kill auto in your inventory.

I got my gift of mastery through the jumping puzzles.
Doing WvW for them is impossible without you hiding behind a large zerg.
Another reason why melee classes are so dumbed down in this game.

iirc this is what they wanted to do, but ran into some technical problems. I hope they’re still planning on working on it though, since it’d be a nice addition.

Easy solution, what I think is fair anyways:

No autoloot, that kind of ruins a lot of aspects.

Instead, badges should be awarded for kills and regarded as a form of currency like karma, gems, or money, and loot should be separate.

Bam.

What this guy said~!

I saw someone post about this in the forums and thought it was a fantastic idea. Sometimes in WvW when I am crowded amongst multiple players, I tend to forget or miss a bag while in the midst of combat. Perhaps adding this function (which can be turned on or off in options) would help players who run WvW or even Orr get their prize and worth for working so hard on killing a player or NPC.

I would love an autoloot function. I don’t really understand why it’s missing, I miss my loot all the time.

Just put the goodies into my bags please. Give me an error message when bags are full. Especially in wvw.

Check Auto-Loot.

Unless ur asking for no effort at all to grab your loot.

Right no button to pick it up, you just pick it up. I’ll take that or a unique “Loot Only” button. Because we all know when you are gathering loot and you have a NPC in the middle, the next thing you know, you are in a conversation with them. Either or for me.

Or when you’re trying to get loot bags in wvw while trying to STAY ALIVE you stop to pick some carrots. “F” and gears for all interactions is clunky and annoying.

Ever done an escort quest and tried to loot bags and kept talking to NPCs?

I say badges should just be like instantly added to its own thing the same as Karma or Laurels. It should just happen no matter what, if you help make the kill any of that will auto pay directly into the account.

Loot on the other hand maybe it should be left to chance your leaving it behind by accident. But on a side note I think that all rare to exotic mini pets should be able to pick up loot off the ground. And all exotic minis will have a auto sale/salvage feature for instance you could set it up to sale all white drops and salvage all blues while retaining any of the other color drops for your personal scrutiny. This would not include minis that came from holidays or other minis that are not sale-able. This would cause a major surge in the mini market and mini packs in the gem store.

I’ve been proposing true auto loot since beta testing. One of the devs said in an interview that he thought it was more fun to discover loot if you had to take the time to pick it up and (apparently) that’s why Diablo 3 has autolooting, but GW2 merely has auto-sorting.

Personally, I don’t like having to worry about looking for loot during battle, worrying that the loot will disappear if I don’t pick it up, or having to decide between reviving someone or going after a potential item. I especially don’t like that the most common work-around, spamming the action key [f] results in unnecessary NPC dialogue boxes or in picking up unwanted environmental weapons.

I am willing to bet that if ANet offered true auto-looting as an option that the vast majority of people would use it and never look back at the current method.

What if someome will make an autoloot addon for GW2 - it will loot only if the "Search" action avialible, nothing more.

What the Arena will say about this? Will it prohibited and/or bannable?

Having to pick up loot is fine but we really need a different control to do it. Having the same keypress for virtually everything really is a bad idea. It just doesn’t work in practice. It’s frustrating having to circle around something to find the precise spot that will allow you to pick an item up rather than talk to an npc that happens to be standing on it or, even worse, accidentally walking off with someone’s banner mid fight.

An idea to make the game better? Why sure, it has my support. Hopefully, it will be at least read and considered.

Guild Wars 2 doesn’t support add ons. There is no API and no way for any program of software to do this without breaking the rules of the game and being considered a ‘hack or cheat’. Lame, but understandable rules set by ArenaNet to prevent unfair advantages.

TY Cap, I know that.
Not so far ago there was a some post from Devs that they are will not against user-addons.
But they are prohibitted autotarget addon (target things at the center of your screen)

Can we get some clarification from Arena?

From what I understand, this is the system they wanted to implement. However, it didnt’ work as they had planned it to; it kept bugging up the server.

I’m talking about this:

I’d really love to see this option implemented too. I’d like to turn on auto-loot and have items go immediately into my inventory without me needing to press a key. The incoming items should briefly show on the right side of the screen and then fade out like they do today. Having to press the key to pick up the loot doesn’t add immersion or fun – it just adds a small annoyance and adds a chance I’ll overlook a loot drop and miss something.

Arena, answer please.

This would be nice!

I would love this; I miss so many badges among the heat of battle :P
