these 2 topics go together, so just read the text.

personally, i loved and hated the loot system in d2. on the good side, when you were playing alone it was easy to grab your loot and move to the next pack of monsters. on the bad side, when you were with 5 other people, they would steal stuff that you obviously needed.

now thats not to say i want a WoW system of looting. it took way too long to loot and the pace was slow. d3 should be sorta a mix of the 2.

SO HERE IT IS - on frequent loots, (like gold, waste armor, potions, etc) it should be like group loot in WoW. thats where everyone takes turn looting(but the loot still drops on the ground) so every other monster that is killed, only YOU can see the armor that flies out of the monsters belly, so only YOU could take those loots. same goes the other way with you party. but on rare, unique, and rune drops, it would be like a need before greed style of looting like in WoW. thats where the item pops up on your screen and you "roll" for the item.

however, in WoW, if you obviously stole an item you didn't need, or ninja-ing, word would spread and people would shun you. the problem with d2 was that there was so many different characters and games, you sometimes never saw the person again. but in WoW, what with major cities and shared towns, you would eventually see that damn ninja again.

so how about towns like in Hellgate? they were crappy and really claustrophobic, but it would be like WoW cities - huge and open. the town would be where you would spawn when you logged in, and then you would open a window and create a game, like battle net. that way you could mingle and interact with people easily.

so in summary, LOOTING SYSTEM - shared with need before greed style.
TOWNS - large cities that everyone spawned in and where you would mingle, interact, and where you would created seperate, private games
