Take Boss loot away

As I write this my char is in a dungeon where the boss is camped by no less than 20 Bots. This is an absolute disgrace. After twenty years of playing MMORPG's I have never come across such a mess. Z-Max. In this case the disgrace is upon you because you just will not (most likely for commercial reasons) implement the most sensible fix. No loot from bosses...not Bots.

Tetujin✭✭✭They are putting a loot timer for public dungeon bosses according to a recent developer discussion post.

Sergeant_Novak✭✭✭You're obviously frustrated, but I don't think disabling loot from bosses is going to be the solution. Kind of throws out a big incentive to delve. Though a loot timer as the poster above me mentioned would be a good idea IMO.Kol Blakmarc - Dwemer Archeologist, Mage, Not such a great dancer1 -

✭✭No loot from bosses? Stupid idea, and you should feel bad.
I guess that loot timer didn't hurt the bots like they thought, eh?Member of the Psijic Order PTS Group0 -
SilestiaSoul ShrivenIf they did this the gold farmers would just use plan B and have some person behind the keyboard on a minimum wage of a couple of cents a day in some third world country , or even worse using prisoner labor (The DPRK has been caught doing this).0 -
Why do people feel they deserve the unique item? If everyone get's it wouldn't it make it less unique?
No other MMO that I am aware of promises loot. Many times in WoW type loot systems, a player can run an entire raid without getting a piece of gear, and thus must wait an entire week to try again.
If you really want the blue item, wait the timer out and run the dungeon again, don't wait for the next group to walk through and ninja their kill.
Anywho +1 for the loot timer, as long as it's not more than an hour or two.0 -
Mushi84✭The easiest solution is either a. Throw people out of a dungeon once you defeat the boss or b. Put a 10 minute debuff on the person who defeated the boss so that they can't damage the boss for 10 mins. Don't turn off loot. Just do something to force the bot into actually PLAYING the game. Trust me. They're not interested in playing and they'll go elsewhere.0
