Permanent Loot Allocation ... for .. why?

You can like RNG and also not agree with it taking 1-3k fusings to get a 5L or 5k fusings to get a 6L.

The game is still based on RNG so again I don't know why anyone would play the game if they didn't view random as fair.

It's fair up to a point, then unfair.

For example, poker... vs war (the card game). Yahtzee... vs chuck-a-luck. The key element here is how much skill you mix with your luck. Great games often combine the two masterfully (or are chess). Bad games often just think about one or the other (and it's very hard to make the next chess); the survivors are usually the dead simplest that you can teach small children.

So we have FFA (the porridge is too hot), permanent allocation (too cold), and... I think you can see where I'm going with this.

It sounds to me as though your saying:

"The majority want to play the game in the way that I don't. I don't really have any reason for this this being an issue so I'm just going to say there all casuals."

Sorry but you are not a unique and beautiful little snow flake. You don't like it? Tough luck. Nobody cares.

Companies look at raw statistics. They work in percentages. As in 90% of players want this? We'd better add it.

As for high level whites, they can be worth more than half the currency items and at least 35% of the uniques. Why wouldn't they be included?

Not only does it slow down the map clearing speed of most groups since there are a lot of people who tend to play extremely safe now, like for example stay completely out of the bosses range and dont attack him more than once since they know that noone can snatch their loot anyway.

You just described the way every player plays this game since they don't want to be one shotted by a boss at melee range. Also, I actually saw a increase in the speed in which I clear areas since people don't have to stop DPSing to grab their items on time.

I understand why GGG would want to allocate currency and rares, hell to some extend even why they deem it necessary for 4Links/5Links/6Links, but why Portal and Wisdom Scrolls? And most of all, why high level whites?

Without any form of allocation, melee chars would be at advantage since they are closer to the loot. Scrolls are cheap but they are still important, and so are high level white items since crafting is important in this game.

Anyway, even if I agreed with your points, it's obvious that the great majority of players want permanent allocation in the game. If it was a simple majority maybe we could be having this discussion but the social tab clearly shows the opposite, so permanent allocation lovers aren't a "vocal minority" like some people in these forums used to preach.

In your estimation, does the majority of players want six-linked armor?

You won't get the acquiesce you're looking for OP most games these days are made up of majority pixel babies even a lot of die hard players are the same way everyone feels entitled to loot.

I was very against this decision, but you get the same old answers even attacked simply for wanting a game that isn't about handing items out it's become the normality and it's expected that people don't have to do anything for items. after the patch everyone i play w/ was of the same idea permanent loot is a piece of shit can't pick scrolls can't pick up high level valuable whites it's fucking stupid half the fun playing this game is beating someone to that 6 socket or that crappy unique grinding for me now has become tedious because i don't have to work.

This community killed off a very fun aspect of grinding and yeah every wanker throwing around the word ninja is a fucking idiot ninja has become a fucking cliche for the up and coming screamager's who aren't even playing games where true stealing of fucking items is fucking possible.

It's always amusing how wankers like you attack people simply for going against the grain you're just another pixel baby take that multi coloured pixel stick out of your arse and see that not every game has to be a loot-o-matic.
