I agree with you they should put a loot system in like EQ2 which is called lotto and when someone in the group loots something, you have to say if you want it or not and then gives it someone.

I'm sure they will rework the loot from higher end mobs before the release of the CU. Well at least I hope so.....but yeah I'd love to see some kind of lotto system where you can lot for items that you want and ignore the ones you don't. It worked well for ff11 and I heard WoW has something similar, but who knows.....this "whoever loots the corpse first gets the item" thing isn't going to work very well once we have to get into larger groups to kill higher end mobs.

they should change it so in a group if your group has looting rights on the corps it auto loots shares the money and picks randomly who it goes to other wise people who dont know people in game arnt gona be hunting due to not knowing if the group will give them anything of the loot and the people in the group not trusting them not to steal all the loot.

Yeah the whole looting system is suXXor. The whole Crystal and Pearl thing is ridiculous, people camping the Krayt graveyard and NS S/H day and night, it's just silly. Firstly they need to bring back the loot messages, that will help a lot. The trouble is everyone wants lewt! And after the CB we may actually have to help each other get it. What i used to do is assemble a small group of people, say 4 -5, who all wanted loot the same thing but couldnt do it alone. We would then all choose a number, roll one of those ingame die and that would depict who go the loot first to fith. Then we would go out and kill whatever we were killing, sometimes it took like a week, until we looted one for everyone. It worked quite well until better buffs and armor came out and then we all realised we could solo!

It is obvious the DEVS want groups to fight tough enemies in SWG as it already should be. No one should be able to solo the hardest and meanest that SWG has to offer. AS of now many people including me go out and solo elders and krayts and many times have nothing to show for it.

I wonder what SOE is going to do to change this. Sure they might lower our damage and get rid of ubber composite armor, but if these super tough NPCs and such dont drop anything, why is anyone going to bother. Huge groups used to go out and fight when this game first came out. Then came buffs and composite armor and those gorups were no longer needed. The only way to loot in the group was to ninja loot as fast as possible so it wasnt very fair.

I will not seek out a huge group to go kill a elder after the CU if she has a small chance to drop good loot and even if she does loot it, I have to marco/ninja loot to get it.

Plus I dont think the people are even here for huge groups anymore...I mean sure there are guilds that hunt and solo groups that used to go around, but SOE even killed them off.

SO I wonder...what is SOE going to do...
