i would also like to see a button before i even log on that says "win the game for me" ----joke

I'm totally for the " Win the game for me button", but along the way I wanna see those henchmen pickin up some gold.

I think the effect of realism would be lost if the money were to go directly into your account. Unless the were to add super-mini worm holes with coin slots that you could drop gold into to at any time. Just a thought

With the current system, the henchmen have to actually fight to earn their keep

Unless they die and you keep moving....Then Dead Thom, Stefan and Alesia get paid to stare at the sky....

They still get paid to stare at the sky if you pay up front too.

I presume you mean if you don raise them.

If you wanted to leave them dead, you should have not left with them.

No one ever leaves gold behind so why make it drop?

lol, this topic went from 'why dont those lazy henchmen pick up gold' to 'well we shouldn't even have to pick up gold either'. sigh...

it's not that we shouldn't have to, it's that why waste the time making the henchmen pick it up when you could just not have it drop.

I guess I don't get any real joy out of seeing money drop.

Many people would argue that seeing items drop, and choosing what to pick up, is kind of fun, even if you are joking about how bad they are. Money, on the other hand, is a real chore to pick up, and I refuse to leave it myself.

I would agree that having it automatically deposit into your account is a reasomable way to avoid the possibility of the henchmen aggro'ing the MOBs.

Not to mention how much easier it would be to code that answer, than some extra AI to pick up money drops, while avioding aggro'ing the MOBs

You are getting the henchies for free, and in other games you have to PAY for them. Getting a small(?) amount of share of the gold + items made up for their free service. Would you get henchies if each one cost 100g for a single use?
