I get that. But the piles exist for a reason and if that's what someone wants to do they have every right to do so.
And people have a right to get annoyed if they're forced to wait for it, too

As to the statement above, the reason the piles exist is literally to be a time sink, so it's a natural point of contention. If you're the first person to chest, you may loot gold piles while waiting for others to arrive at the chest, then others show and they loot gold piles...only there's nearly nothing to be gained....from a gaming perspective the last looter is playing and all is good, from the first looters perspective it's boring to wait even more b/c they've already waited for you to open the chest. What's more, the last looter is likely following the first looters actions as they've probably done in most of the dungeon...so, a natural point of contention.the piles exist for a reason
Yeah, I think I´ve got an augment once from a gold pile ....
This, if it were 30 seconds per pile, I'd understand it, but couple seconds is too much?Shouldn't be any argument over a few seconds looting. If it really ticks you off that much just drop group. Nobody is keeping you there against your will.
I've gotten ebberon dragonshards multiple times from kobold bags, so i always collect themI remember someone getting a cleanse curse card from the gold piles - might be worth spending 3 seconds to search them
I might be lucky, but none of the PUGs I've ever run with have ever complained to me or any other party member about this.In a group setting where you're all playing with each other, it should be discussed beforehand. Zerg is a common keyword to convey the point on whats expected if you join the group. At that point, grabbing your junk (or grabbing someone elses junk) is probably not a great idea. If it's hasn't been established by the party leader, then I think you can grab yours or whomever's junk you want.
It is sort of annoying when you're in the moment, and someone accuses you of spending too much time in just one area. Just because they have been hitting that for years doesn't mean that I have been hitting it. I like to get to know an area pretty well. I make it work for me. Thats part of the fun.
Sadly, I'm not in the majority anymore so now I usually just play with myself. In my own instance, I can go as fast or slow as I want. I can stop to take a hydration break halfway through if I need to, maybe some stretching (totally important) or a smoke. I can take my time and really enjoy it. Not satisified with a quickie just for the payoff.
Just some thoughts.
There is friendly fire. Haven't you been in a party with a Leroy that runs ahead only to loose the mobs on those that follow????More outrage over nothing burgers. Let people loot if they want too loot.
I'd like to see friendly fire added to quests. That would solve alot of issues.
