Make Pets Ignore Boss Chairs / Helms / Cards / etc by Default

Spill the 'beans'? Pun intended?

 

The only issue I see with normal mob cards is that sometimes cards drop in areas where they are not visable (e.g. temple of golem), so it could make card hunting a little more obnoxious

 

This is only for boss drops right.

 

probably, or players can just remove item loot during runs. im sure out of 6 man, 1 (host) is bound to remind everyone

 

as a host myself, I well know that even if you spam "PET LOOT OFF" 10 min before the run and every 2 min during the run while also having a chalkboard up with "PET LOOT OFF". people will STILL have pet loot on.
Just saying

 

Maybe add these items to the item ignore pendant?

 

The inverse of this change would be to add a punishment to those who loot untradable boss drops - accidentally or not. Since that is obviously an extreme take on this problem, the better/cleaner solution would be to implement OP's suggestion.

 

I'm not really against your suggestion to be honest but it feels a little wrong to change the expected behaviour of a mechanic for just certain scenarios, you want consistency in how things behave in the game. I don't think it's an elegant solution.

That said it does make sense to disable pet looting for party bosses I'm just rambling

 

The change would be for the individual's benefit of not getting banned for their own mistake. Accidentally looting an untradable item shouldn't be a feature any trustworthy player desires, so changing it would make sense.

The only instance I can see this impacting 'normal' gameplay is if it's a FFA loot run, but it would only serve to equalize the playing field by requiring all players to manually loot.

You want consistency until you don't, and abandoning growth/improvement for the sake of consistency doesn't make sense.

 

I think you should always want consistency, but I realise it's a bad argument here. I mean... the only reason you'd be disappointed Item Pouch wasn't consistent at a boss would be if you actually -wanted- to ninja loot with your pet
