Sweet. I have always wondered about the whole "GF LSP" thing. Thanks for explaining so clearly.

poor fred :(

You forgot to mention the gaping flaw with lootshare in that it only works the way it's suppose to if you NEVER switch teams.

 

It works better if you switch teams a lot, since if you have missed a large item, you'll get most of the drops on a different trip.

Nice read, but was it necessary to put your name in the title?

LSP goes in to negative therefor your calculation are erronated.

(I mean this with no offense)

 

There's a flaw in your thinking, if your system of LSP was to be true, pretty soon, you would have LSP in the Billions, which if there are a lot of new players, say going to God Wars, they wouldnt get a drop for about a year if someone on their team had gotten 4 hilts in the last week or so.

 

 

 

I think that you do however have most of the LSP idea, the major flaw is that you suggest if a person recieves a drop, they have no net movement of LSP.

 

Instead, I think that the system takes the price of the item (take your example, 30m drop between 3 players with no previous points [10m each]) But whoever gets the drop, instead of staying at 0 points, goes to negative 10million, and the other two people positive 10 million.

 

 

 

Then say, the next kill, they get another 30m drop, and this time one of the two people with +10m LSP get the drop.

 

Person 1 now has 0 LSP (-10m + 10m) , person 2 now has 0 LSP (10m-10m), and person 3 is in the money with 20m in points.

 

 

 

Low and behold, another drop, and another 30m drop. This time, person 3 gets the drop, the points now stand at:

 

1) +10m

 

2) +10m

 

3) +10m

 

 

 

 

 

In reality it wouldnt work like this, as getting 3 30m drops on the trot would be damn near impossible. But you can see how it works.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, drops are not given based on all percentages of previous drops in LSP, instead, the drop automatically goes to the person with the highest LSP, and thier share is taken formt heir total points.

 

And points stick with you no matter what, if you change teams / leave a clan ect.... So eventually, you'll be in the money too.

Thanks craven ;D

 

 

 

always nice to have things cleared up

Yes, explain how a player with 40-60M LSP can get a Elysian Sigil sniped and the player who has never been to a big monster and has 0GP Lsp manages to snipe the sigil, which infact happened in a mass yesterday Atleast it was claimed by the cc owner and several others even the person who recieved the drop.

 

 

 

The problem with Lootshare is it does fizzle away, I missed an 8 man arcane, and duo claws, yet I never even made a portion of that back, where as coinshare I would have been better off.

 

 

 

Although nice use of examples etc you got the basics across

Well, it doesn't help this is an old thread before Jagex's update that let you snipe with lower LSP.

Ls is far too confusing imo, even with this 'guide' I'm doubting it. An example - If you miss a Armadyl hilt in a 4man, would it be ArmaHiltValue/3 (people who missed it) or ArmaHiltValue/4 (total people who can lootshare)?

 

 

 

When you get drops, you don't increase Lsp, that's a major flaw in your guide. LSP WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE EXPLAINED, ITS LIKE THE RING OF WEALTH@@@

according to the guide its the armavalue/4 for the people who missed it, but my personal experience says that the 3 who missed it all get a third of it.

 

and you misread it, i think. he meant that the lsp is divided between them, then the person who gets the drop loses the lsp from what they already had+what they just gained.

 

 

 

and they actually explained lsp in the game manual/knowledgebase/whateveritscalledthesedays and on the rsof
