Djake Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The group loot bug, in game since approximately patch 4.1. When in group, only the first person to loot is able to pick up all of the loot, each subsequent member has to stop and individually loot each defeated enemy. This slows down group progress and spreads out the group as members are stopping to group while others jump on ahead. It is also extremely annoying and gives some players another reason to not want to group. This bug is easy to reproduce. Just form a group and go out to kill multiple mobs, first person loots, then watch as the others have to loot individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittybear Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 this is why i do not even bother looting any more unless i see a purple beam, this habit is so bad of mine that when on iokath i keep for getting the power shards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasinator Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yes please fix. Especially in FP's and Heroics Nar Shaddaa is horrendous!. It's tiring and it's un-nerving. Seriously fix yo **** Bioware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarova Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Didn't the devs say that this was a deliberate change and not a bug quite a while back? It is really annoying whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAkemi Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Didn't the devs say that this was a deliberate change and not a bug quite a while back? It is really annoying whatever it is. I think it was an unintended side effect of individual loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I think it was an unintended side effect of individual loot. Exactly this. I don't know if it's meant to be "intentional" as much as it is a "side effect" of Level Sync, where a level 10 and level 70 player can both get 'relevant' loot drops.

Jerqa Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I do wish that this would be changed. It is *very* annoying trying to loot while in a group, or even just duo'ing with a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarrin Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I would love to see this fixed, or improved, or undone or whatever. I no longer do heroics or dailies in a group unless someone asks, or they're needed to be blitzed for conquest. And when I do have to group, I'll only pick up purple and blue stuff and even then usually watch as my group charges off to the next spawn, where the cycle begins again. Extremely annoying. Counterproductive to group content in an MMO. Please change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberd Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It's even worse now with 5.3, it has spread to ops. Please BW fix. It has been a problem for far too long. Going to start weekly bug reports till fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJoy Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I completely agree with all the posts above mine.... This is driving us away from doing group content. Please fix it!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeze-Dry Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I completely agree. This bug has been present for a long while now and it still has not been fixed. Loot and Group Content is a core part of the game and this needs to be addressed immediately. This bug should have been one of the top priority to fix.

GrimTheGlutt Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I absolutely hate this bug, it drives me mad. my missus is a quicker clicker than me and just runs off laughing at me as I faff about clicking corpse after corpse. in the meantime shes clearing the next group! and the cycle begins again. For my sanity please fix this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
