Guild Wars 2

I’m not entirely sure why this isn’t a thing…

But when you’re in the middle of a fight in WvW you shouldn’t have to stop paying attention to the fight etc. to keep an eye out for loot (that also quickly becomes harder to find the more a battle drags on) so you either have to risk becoming dead weight in a battle by regularly looking to pick up stuff or risk losing out on drops.

The loot is already dropped near your feet when you die, so it isn’t a think to stop people camping. I don’t understand at all why it can’t be just auto-picked up (unless it’s a limitation of the actual game)

I agree I’m very rarely watching my feet or looking for a pick up tag near the bottom of my screen when i’m in the middle of moving side to side, dodging and charging to notice the little bag at my feet. Its fine if its 1v1 but ikittenerg you lose sight of them instantly with all the skills and spells flying

It’s been said so many times but I dont think Anet will ever do this.

So people have said in other game with autoloot, the process causes a lot of lag.

But we do need something else; yes loot is dropped next to your feet, but when you are running with your zerg, by the time you see the pick up tag, you’ve ran too far from it to press pick it up and the tag disappears. And since you are running with your zerg, you cannot always go back to pick it up.

This happened last night to me, we were running out of SM as BB took it, we jumped over a wall to regroup. We were fighting a RS zerg which was also in SM, and as they stayed BB killed them, but we still got xp the kills. I looked back and saw 10 loot bags littered behind me as we had run away from the wall to regroup.

Players simply do not have the time to pick up their loot in such situations! Though it is nice the drop rate has increased, but when you still cannot pick t up, what’s the point?

anet has already stated its not technically possible to do it at this point and is very low on the list of things to fix.

This problem has gotta be fixed.
I play a lot of WvW and miss out on too many drops.
This issue seems like it would have a simple fix.
No drop, Just put the stuff in my inventory.
There are so many times that with drops you just can’t get back to where the drop occurred.
If anyone in Arenanet reads this please fix this issue.
It’s about what is right to do for all players.
