anyone getting sick of the loot explosions from monsters? sometimes i have to run up a hill or even down a cliff to get at the loot that has exploded with great ferocity out of the monster i just killed.

i mean is that going to be a selling point for neverwinter? you get to run around for 30 seconds, like a headless chicken, picking up loot after you kill a monster?

    personally if loot was meant for you, you should just auto loot (i.e. drop into your inventory) instead of having to pick it up all the time.

    While I understand it may "break immersion" but I think it is silly to run around and chase your loot after each fight.
    To grow old is inevitable, to grow up is optional.

    I hate it too. I hate when the loot drops behind me.

    I hate it loot pinatas!

    I'd prefer auto loot as well.
    what i hate just as much is the 500 lines of chat stating i've looted 1 copper. just wait 5 seconds then give me a total.

    Companions should loot for us.
    I spend all day reading every thread and letting people know this is BETA.

    I can go with this. My panther is not doing anything most of the time.

    Nothing better as a Dwarf trying to jump up a book case to reach 2 copper...

    I am literally sick of it. Makes me motion sick sometimes running around in circles so much.

    Takes longer to chase down loot and 1cp piles than it does to kill most monsters. So bad.

    I wish it was area loot on F, that would be better if they keep it like a pinata. Press F, all loot around you gets sucked up. No running around to step over it.

    While the looting did bother me in the beginning (pressing a button for everything) I can totally go along with my companion looting for me even tho it goes in my bags! That would be AWESOME!

    Personally I don't understand WHY we can just get auto loot (i.e. auto go into pack as you get it)

    I'm 200% agree with this, the looting system is terrible. Companions that loot, AoE loot upon pressing F or simply auto-loot, would all be much much better than that.
