But, this is one of those things that looks great on paper but does NOT workout as expected. As harsh as it may be once-in-a-while, our auto-looting system is a thousand times better than these other methods.
These other methods used to slow down the rate of killing mobs at least in half. So xp and farming was twice as slow as it is today. Rarely was everyone happy with decisions that were made. We'd have to all stand around when anything even halfway decent dropped do that evryone could roll dice. People would ninja loot. All this could cause server-wide drama for days or even weeks. It was incredibly boring, painful and frustrating.
