please remove short allocation and free for all to encourage party playing

one player take everything while other takes nothing or kick from party is sad
if you force permenant allocation it will be much better and happier gameplay
or make new system that give all players same drop so all be happy

ADDING loot options is what destroyed multiplayer in poe1 - FFA is the only way it should ever be. Party play right now is garbage, it just adds frustration, difficulty and in the end everyone gets less loot... Entire guilds full of long time ARPG players all soloing before they quit is pure developer fail.

it's a lot easier to balance around a solo game - so they just make group play disadvantageous. its 'there' if you really want to do it...

What are you talking about? Party is 100x better than solo, it's not even close
Poor party players. Maybe you should increase the loot even more?))

You're making some kind of joke here right?

FFA is hands down the worst loot option for multiplayer, and is generally the main reason for a person to not want multiplayer.
FFA is what makes people get no loot ever, because it only takes one ninja looter to make it so nobody else gets anything, and when ffa is the ruleset the prevalence of ninja looters becomes so high you cannot feasibly find parties without at least two of them.
Not to mention this game's issue with party hosts demanding nobody else is allowed to loot, which is a special kind of stupid.

The best loot system for multiplayer is an individualized one, where players can't even see what drops for other players. Everyone having their own separate drops.

I would mention that for a lot of people a main reason they aren't playing in groups isn't so much the loot as the animations.

Playing in a full group you tend to not be able to see the game anymore as the entire screen becomes exclusively flashy particle effects flash-banging you as you lose all sight of the enemies and the ground.

+1 to this!
I agree that FFA should be gone, but short allocation makes sense because "one man's trash is another man's treasure" and I would hate it if I can't pick up stuff other people don't even want.
If you don't like FFA then don't play it? Don't join random party with FFA enabled.

I'm playing with my spouse and friends and FFA makes me feel i play the same game with them. Having shared loot makes the entire point of playing together to get it.
Removing FFA will ruin all the feeling of multiplayer.

May be if you want removing FFA they also should make monsters "permanent allocated" or someone kills everything and other can't participate, and also remove party members effects, so we just can run the same map without any interaction. What a nonesense...

BTW it works like this in Diablo3-the-dead-game. Another "people want" change. Hopefully GGG never listen to anything like that :D
