Hi,


unfortunately there are poeple who drop coins just before the boss dies in certain events. If you try to pick up the items from the boss with the "pick up"-key the message "unable to pick up" appear, because my character stands above one of the dropped coins from players and tries to pick up these. Eventually I get no boss drops and the people who dropped coins get everything for themselves.
To my mind this is really unfair. Is it possible that when I hit the "pick-up"-key my character only tries to pick up items/coins which are really able to pick up? So all players would have an equal chance to get the boss drops and the unfair players have no advantage anymore.
Maybe this problem could also be solved that items and coins dropped from players intentionally can be picked up from all players immediately.
It would be nice to fix that because the game makes no fun with so many unfair players b:surrender

Cheers & sorry for mistakes, english is not my mothertongue

    iv never had a problem with that, and i think people who are doing that could have easily just taken the drops before everyone else, and you can just as easily click specifically on the drops from the boss rather than the coins that block the view. i dont think this is big enough of a problem to be addressed. there are ways you can get around it. worst comes to worst, dont ever squad with those people who do that anymore. im not denying you saw this, but i have never had this problem before.

    I don't see how this could even be called a problem. If you get the "unable to pick up" message, click the drops manually, or walk right into the pile and use the pickup key.

    People drop things from their inventory all the time when I'm picking up boss drops because said person's inventory had been full, and I do usually end up getting that message because I get close to their discarded items. So I either click the rest of the stack manually to pick, or walk away from their items and into the boss drop pile and continue picking.

    I do remember at the Tellus event when the boss died all you could do was spam the pickup key because of the crowd. But I just used W to run right to where the drops would be, and I didn't have a problem ever. Really if the people that dropped coins were using the pickup key and were right where the drops fell, they'd automatically pick up their own coins... so either they must not be dropping them right by the other drops, or they personally aren't picking up drops either. Doesn't make sense to me.
