New Root Abyss Equip Drop

This thread isnt about how maplestory is unbalanced. Just about everyone on Southperry already knows that. The rest of us are discussing how to better the loot system. Join us.

Why are you asking me to join you when I'm already in the conversation. Telling you your idea is terrible is indeed part of the conversation, especially when I give you reasons for it. So really your statements are groundless.

Also you're exaggerating a single anecdote I said about how majority of maplestory is pretty much broken. Literally just a slight mention and you use that as your retort? You're really diggin from the bottom of the barrel arent you.

The current game already caters to "the big dps classes". my system does nothing to take away from all the hard work, or money, a player does to get all that much dps. It actually gives a higher ratio of loot chance, than a directly proportional dps ratio would. By comparing individual damage done against the top dpser instead of against total dps.

So by catering to the "big dps classes" you're saying that this is an okay system? When it get's down to it, it's either the hacker or the biggest spender(classes are a factor as well). This system overall is stupid, your idea supports it, thus also makes your 'system' just as ridiculous.

a 2m~2m player doesnt want to roll dice with an unfunded Leafre store-bought equiped player. If I do the most damage to the boss, I want the biggest portion of loot.

First off, name me one realistic situation where a player with max range would bring an "Npc geared" random? This example is ridiculous and would never happen, especially if the player needed to make a profit. It be charity work if anything, I know, that's how I played.

And here we see the root of all evil, the greedy notion that you feel entitled to the "loot" because you spent enough to do the damage. The notion of this is ridiculous, there are other important rules other than DPS and players should be rewarded for it. What you're doing is trying to guarantee a reward from a group goal all to yourself because you're the most well geared. No game does this for a reason, it causes not only a negative competition, gives priority for specific glass cannons, and increasingly widens the gap between nx and moderate spending players. Which is the opposite of what we want.

Even if I only do 1% dmg more than the next person. A completely random dice roll is unbias, but in every mmo that i've played, the community either complains about the dice roll or mod it with improvements, like adding some sort of weighted system of loot priority. I don't know a single manufacturer-made loot system that game players don't complain about. I offered my suggestion. Either add to it and make it better, or suggest something else. There is no benefit except self-gratification, when your criticism can't be constructive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loot_system Seriously, do your research. Most people prefer "need before greed" or random, assuming you play with randoms. Your perspective is too general. The only circumstance we need loot control like this is for random recruitments. Otherwise friends/guildies negotiate the drops at the end. Measuring a players contribution simply by DPS is such a narrow line of consideration that it shouldn't even be entertained.

KhainiWest; yes, I know.

Oh so you just like doing pointless things, I see. Kind of justifies everyone's perspective of you I guess.
