Well, say if you get a bandos hilt, and someone out of four people gets the drop via lootshare. Say they sell it for 40 mil, and they want to split it between the four other players, they can't because the trade has to be within 3k.

Harrington, do you actually kill boss monsters?

 

 

 

For example, at GWD I've killed over 600 bosses total, and had 2 shards. While people on my team have had: 3 shards, 5 zamorak spears and various other items.

 

 

 

Under the new system I'd only get those 2 shards, and exactly NOTHING from the other drops.

 

 

 

This makes boss monster trips unprofitable and thus more people will go and thus prices of the items will go up and thus for people who DO go and for the ONE person in the team that gets lucky will become rich while the others get nothing and get annoyed at the system.

 

 

 

Unless you kill thousands and thousands of monsters with the same people LootShare is unfair and if you only go with someone else to a monster once and they get a drop you'd have wasted your time.

 

 

 

Horrid, horrid, update.

So this means giving away things for free is dead?

 

Say if my friend was quiting, he had santa, a phat, and hollowe'en mask, does that mean they can't give it away?

 

Pretty much.

Group monster killing may not be dead quite yet. The new gravestone features seem to make it much easier to go back and get one's own stuff if you die. Need to research this more.

What the [bleep].....how the hell do they expct us to split freaking drops. Who the hell wants to go on a team to any boss knowing the only way for them to make monet now is to not only be lucky enough to get a drop, but to also be lucky enough that it is there owen god damn drop. Then where does this leave everyone else??

I am not a skiller, but i do some skills.

That's a good side to the update, fixes one problem but makes a whole new one, the one about not being able to fairly share loot.

Maybe if you read the post first? :roll: he's talking about splitting the profit from drops. E.G. KQing's now completely pointless... why would 2 people go on a trip to kill her when theres only the chance of one person being able to recieve the chain? you cant split the profits 50/50 anymore.

Yeah I know. Not saying these updates are good, just looking for silver linings.

Lets be realistic here, getting back to a dagannoth king gravestone will be extremely hard for obvious reasons and getting the kc for a gwd gravestone will take a while.

 

 

 

If gravestones were free and automatically lasted 1 hour then things would be better.

 

 

 

Also the main reason why i am saying it's dead is because of the drop sharing and not the gravestones.

Again, I'm not defending it..just trying to see if there's a way to make it work.

 

 

 

If a friend can bless it and make it last an hour that makes getting back feasible.

 

 

 

The trading issue is the real problem, as you say. But if you DK a *lot* then in time that should even out.

Dking is different. Just yesterday I got a sara hilt with my partner. It was his drop. What would we have done if this happened after the update? I am 107 combat, he is 122. He Usually gets the kills.......now what??

Oh I know.. it's ridiculous. :(

 

 

 

Congrats BTW. Sell it before the Gestapo takes over. :(
