Guild Wars 2

For whatever reason, I’ve never been able to use the F shortcut key to loot items from gathering nodes and have had to manually click every single item from each node.

Is this working as intended or is something off here?

Do you have “Autoloot: Autopickup” turned on? (options window, top tab, second tick box from the top)

i had that problem recently, it seems to happen when my fps go down.

Have you checked your key bindings? What key does the gather icon ask you to press?

It’s bound to F, as by default, but once the loot window comes up I have to manually click every item, whereas from chests or corpses I can hit F to loot everything in the window.

But Autoloot doesn’t apply to gathering. There are no short-cuts for Mining, or Chopping, or Harvesting. One must gather each node with the appropriate tool.

The ‘F’ key (or whatever key is bound to it) is the Action key. It’s not just a ‘Loot’ key. You can bind a different key to ‘Autoloot’, but you will still have to perform actions when within range, such as Gathering.

Good luck.

Autoloot: Autopickup controls the loot window (the one you’re seeing while gathering).

when it is off, the loot window pops up whenever you pick up loot (from gathering or otherwise), and you have to click each item individually to put it in your bags.

turning it on means loot (from all sources) goes directly into your bag.

this setting does the same thing even with the mastery autoloot (true autoloot?) enabled, and has nothing to do with keybindings.

have you tried turning it on?

As i could finally get the game to work again today, i also could test this more.
It definitely is a sort of input lag.
If i try it enough times (i bound it to mouse3), it works.
By the way, it also lags in the key bindings configuration window…
