Hello Devs,

How annoying is it to pick up gold pieces that drop on ground everytime? How easy will it be to have the gold pieces get shared automatically amongst the party members if a monster drops it? If one of the party member is carrying max gold in inventory, that party member does not receive the share of the gold.

Is this doable? What do you all think?

Thanks,

Vel

Picking up stuff is half the fun in GW for me, without it, it's only half fun.

I agree. Especially when you get that awesome drop, I always sing the rocky music and make my character do /kneels all the way there. Hehe. In all seriousness I think that it's like that because...often there is that nice drop in the middle of a battle and having to go get it makes it more of a challenge. As for just the gold? It's a click of the mouse. =/

nothing beats collecting all that gold after a big battle, especially when soloing

dont really see what difference that would make, not a very imaginative idea.

Hope you didn't spend too much time responding then.

I've wanted something like this for a while, since collecting gold can get old - especially when my group sweeps through an area & I have to walk back 100 yards to collect a few piles of gold. It's not really an issue with a full group of humans, because the gold pickup duties are shared. I just wanted to see the henchmen/heroes pick up some gold once in a while.

NPC's need to share the looting responsibility!

Picking up all that gold is getting really boring if you ask me.. At least make henchmen pick up the gold if you have any in your group.

Please read the petition before commenting and /notsign for items. I did not put this one for items.

I support the idea but it probably doesn't matter even if it wasn't implemented. I think it's not a bad idea.

Thallandor · Nov 16, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

This is an interesting suggestion.

I perhaps offer an alternative:

Allow minipets when used in instances to pick up gold, and maybe loot for you, that way at least they actually serve some sort of a function other than looking pretty floating around.

This concept isnt a new one, it has been used on other MMOs like FLYFF.

Im not so bothered about picking the gold up, but it would be nice if henches or heroes at least could pick some up.
Perhaps have an icon in the heroes thing (where it shows their skills, guard, fight etc) saying 'collect', and they'll go and pick up any gold within a certian range of you

I would like a feature that allows you to forfeit your share of gold and/or items.

When I'm playing with my low-level friend, I don't want all those piles of glittering dust and spider legs. Just let my friend have them automatically.

No thank you. I'm not THAT lazy!!!

its fun picking up the drops from a good solo run

auto gold pick-up is a good idea, especially just engaged and finished a large group of mobs, pickups are so tedious

I cant say I find it that annoying to pick gold up. So personally im /notsigned

The drop rate for gold isnt that extensive that you have lots and lots of bags to pick up.

Plus its only a case of clicking a line of text.

BUT if it really bugs you that much, and you really want a slightly different system...

..lets use the Mario and Sonic technique of just running into gold and we pick it up!!!!

Im being serious

Come one! How lazy can someone get!?! This idea is just too lazy for guildwars I think.
