All-Class-Pets pick up Drops

Hi there,


Who doesn't know this situation:
You are Grinding and the Monsters are dropping a lot of items. But before you are able to pick them all up, the Monsters respawn and attack you again.And then: Some Player comes the way, sees the drops and picks them up while you are handling the monsters and disappears in the blue. Nice shot! b:angry

So here is my suggestion:
Why not add a nice bonus to the Non-Class-pets? I am sure they would love to do some good to their owners and collect the Items for him/her (of course only until the bag is full and only those dropped by the owners kills). ;)

This could be possible:
1) Every non-class-pet has this passive ability
2) Only a Cash-Shop-Pet has this ability (max 10gold)
3) Or: While creating a Baby-Pet, there is a certain chance (10% maybe?) that this ability is added. By Rare-Baby-Pets 15%?
<-- My personal favorite b:cute


So, what do you think?

    I think dark blue isnt the most stellar color to use on a dark brown background, but you probably meant the pet thing.

    While it would be nice to have a pet run around and pick up things for you, and I would support the idea, I can't imagine it being implemented since the coding to make the pet only go after your drops and nobody elses and to make it pick up all of the drops if there are more than one would probably take a good while. It'd likely be too much work to see a marginal increase in the sale of pets, but here's to hoping

    lol damn i'm getting slow:P alot of ppl beated me at poking fun at things like that xD


    this idea would be nice. i for one can be rather lazy at times. looking back, if i had picked up all the freakin coin i ignored during grinding, i might have some nice change right now lol.

    Personally I think its just plain lazy as there is a timer before anyone can pick up your loot. If you got that far into a group of mobs then you are obviously in the WRONG place if you care about your loot.

    BUT: I would not be against the idea if they were pets in the cash shop as I am sure there are lots of people who would buy them up and probably some who would want one of each to show off to their friends. Any idea that promotes sales outside of gear/weapon is fine by me. A game comes to an end quickly when they allow players to just buy their gear as we are seeing.

    I do LOVE the creativity and always enjoy hearing people with detailed thought out ideas on how to improve the game.

    Explain how someone is lazy if they want some sort of auto loot feature. Didn't they just spend a lot of time killing mobs to get that loot? That is like saying someone with direct deposit is plain lazy while disregarding all the work they did to get that money.


    I think this is a good idea.

    I think this is a good idea.

    When you walk along the street and see a dollar do you have a dog that picks it up for you? If you go hunting and kill an animal it doesnt just skin itself. There is always a cost. How about we skip the killing mobs and you just log on to the game and they credit you with loot? Give me a break. If you dont share my view fine as I have said I would support the idea but would NOT participate in buying one. I also do not support tagging along behind a high geared high level player while they solo FC. I dont support exploiting the game to get any boost. I prefer to PLAY the game and I prefer to pick up ALL of my loot. I dont want someone to do my job and then credit my account with pay.

    YOU can chose to do it and I have no issue with you being lazy by having a pet grab all your loot cause you cant be bothered with it... Just remember those junk items people dont want will also be auto looted such as friendship things, Sadness cards dropped, and other garbage. Like I said... GO FOR IT. Its just sad in my eyes to see people complaining they cant play unless there is 2x loot EVERYDAY and then to see people wanting someone to pick up their loot as they are too busy to do so. I just see it as part of PLAYING the game. Good with the bad. So yes... it would be LAZY to buy a pet to pick up all your loot (no matter what loot it was)

    Did anyone think of the idea that if someone is fighting near or next to you and was also dropping stuff... your mindless pet would auto loot their items too as not everyone would want this pet?

    Pet could come with an inventory extension stone to help you carry all the drops you won't have to waste energy picking up any more

    wow how hard is it to pick stuff up while you fight... one hit... one loot. But I will say it again... IF you want it... I will support it. I just wont use it. I guess that is hard for you to understand? Too many big words?

    Just in case you have not been paying attention, the people who run PW US do not have the capability to add features to the game. They can't even fix bugs. PW China has to do any programming and they only seem to be interested in churning out more and more variety of pack sales, not new content or features.

    As for the idea itself. There is no need. If you can figure out how to kill mobs in such a way that you can loot them safely then you really need to LTP. Picking up loot has never been a problem for me, and I have never heard anyone else express any difficulty with it.b:chuckle

    I don't see any real problem with this suggestion. While it is probably not very likely to be added, if it was it would give me a reason to use my companion pet.

    Is it kinda lazy to want a pet that can't fight to grab your loot for you? Yeah.

    Does it hurt any in game function or inhibit others' ability to enjoy the game? No.

    Not happy with the auto loot idea? Add a pet loot order to the 'E' actions screen for those interested in having their pet grab the loot while they fight.

    It works in other games to no detrimental effect, the same could be said here.

    Just one question tho..

    A veno has a battle pet, a Mystic a summon and you can't call out another pet whilst those are active, how would this work for these two classes?

    Many of us have been lobbying for a pet pick-up feature, it has been suggested many times.

    I sometimes play a game that has this feature & it comes with a pick-up filter so that you don't have to loot unwanted items.

    One problem would be that if you are in a squad and you just killed a boss, then everyone's pets are going to rush in to try and auto pick up everything. It would be extremely annoying.

    I don't see a real benefit unless you are just grinding alone and don't feel like picking up everything and have the pet do it for you.

    I could see how some obnoxious people would use them, and we have a lot of obnoxious people on this game. Although it's kind of a neat idea, I never see it being implemented.

    This has also been suggested multiple times:

    In better words, if you want whenever to encounter this feature in game, call it Pick-up License for 15 golds from item shop...

    Tip All class pets WERE once able to hold items and collect them but it was changed for a reason. It made people bot and helped support that sort of thing more. This aside I know its a decent idea but it was removed due to that so I can't really see it making a come-back ever. Sorry to burst your bubble.b:surrender
