The DDO Chronicle: Issue 186

Loot.

Cuz the game is all about gaining xp.

[Nyrvjjn]

I really don't know

[Grandern_Marn]

I would prefer collecting loot. Essentially we have the same mechanic in the game where xp is capped and Im fine with that.

[Dark_Helmet]

If you had to pick between never again getting loot or XP, which would you choose and why?

I never need the loot. You can steal/trade/beg for loot, but not XP!

[Hipparan]

I would rather never have exp again. There's an exp cap, but the loot will never run out!

[Kaylenn]

I definitely would choose not to get any more loot. The only part of the game I actually hate is trying to fit all the right gear into my characters' limited slots and all the potentially useful loot into my limited bank spaces. If I never got any more, then I'd have an excuse to never have to deal with that horrible struggle again. Besides I like leveling and TRing a lot too.

[FranOhmsford]

Seems a strange question when the game really requires both.

But even as someone who doesn't care all that much about xp I'd have to say Loot is secondary as without xp the game would be pointless!


So of course I'd give up the Loot!

Can you add Lag to that short list of things to never get again?

[Ebergar]

XP. I LOOOOOOVE opening chests and getting every single thing from there!

[Nothingtoseehere]

6 of one 'n' half a dozen o' the other.

I'll get back to you on that one. Or maybe I won't

[Nothingtoseehere]

Double post

[Graskitch]

I would not mind never again getting XP. although, I would like to be capped at 30 at the time.

with the current random gen loot, it is always interesting to see what drops.

[NabeGewell]

'XP' gain just adds a false sence of accomplishment for me personaly, any world without chests would be truely a sad place though.

[lronEnema]

I wants my lootz

Hmmm....

I'd have to give up the XPs.

Even back in PnP, the discovery of Treasure always trumped the award of Experience Points. Finding treasure and figuring out what everything is was part of the RP experience. Tabulating XPs was more like OOC book-keeping.

[Jango-EX]

Loot. And then would try some kind of vow of powerty thing.

[jclaassen]

I would pick XP. If your toon is capped out and I don't TR often. I like the loot!!!!

[Inanout]

No loot. Being stuck at level 1 with no exp would be rather pointless.

[Nesis]

I would choose XP, but if I took the loot I could buy more bacon so loot it is for the bacon.

[LrdSlvrhnd]

...well, this is just an evil question. Can I pick depending on the character? *g*

Overall, I think I'd go with "no loot" than "no XP". A lot can be crafted (and if there's ever a crafting update, perhaps a lot more can be...) and I'm fairly well-off in terms of gear. Of course, no loot also means no deconning of loot, which means no essences except what drops in chests, which means crafting would get a lot more difficult...
