Party Members Can't Pick Up Each Other's Drops

I understand how frustrating it is when a party member swipes a rare drop from a monster you killed. This seems to cause people to avoid partying at all. I would prefer if party members cannot pick up each other's drops. What does everyone think? Share and share alike? Finders keepers, losers weepers? Or to each their own?

 

I was trying to find ways to encourage partying. I assumed a big reason people refuse to party is because they are afraid to have rare items swiped by random noobs.

I do like the on/off option. This could be set by each person in the "Settings" menu.

 

Why not just raise the meso drop rate and exp rate while in a party? You could even have a multiplier for damage, i.e. the party members that deal the most damage get more exp. Members that sit on the sideline get less.

 

I assumed the toggle would work like this:

Loot sharing true: You can pick up other's loot and they can pick up your loot.

Loot sharing false: You cannot pick up other's loot and they cannot pick up your loot.

This could possibly apply to picking up abandoned loot as well.

I'm doing the Ironman challenge and part of the challenge is we cannot pick up abandoned loot. It's tricky when I am on a map, and someone drops loot on top of my loot. I just have to change channels to avoid picking up their loot.

 

Yeah. I think pets would have to be included to make it fair. If you can't pick up other's loot but your pet can, it kind of defeats the purpose.

True: You and your pet can...
False: You and your pet cannot...
