Stabby I can reread 2+2=5 all day and it still won't be correct. The onus is on you, the person making the claim, to prove your point. All you did was argue it is fundamentally incompatible because of how information is stored, on the hosts computer. You did not elaborate as to why this fact would make a different loot distribution method "fundamentally incompatible". You need to state how those premise validate your conclusion. That leaves me to only guess as to the connection to make your case for you. Perhaps you could provide an example of what you believe would happen wrong if my suggested loot distribution were to try to be implemented? Are you saying that there is no point to have loot divided because the host could log on and steal it all back? Lol. I think it's safe to say that if my buddy asked me to play the game and I logged on and found my character was standing there missing all his gear, that game would not continue. The difference being items found by or given to you are generally accepted as yours. Where as what you lie, cheat or steal to gain, is not. If the game thinks that is going to be a fun dynamic I'll be curious to see how that works out but I think I can speak for most people that they would rather play solo than deal with a back stabbing partner. I think most people understand taking advantage of the host system storing player info to rob your team mates is a line not to be crossed.
