Autosplit off please...Follow

Is it too hard to turn it off. I was in a group the other day with my monk and 2 of my group members would not turn it off. I asked them nicely several times and got no no response from them. Finally when I did get a response from them it was " can't you just destroy the extra money, I am not looting, I want my fair share". I didn't say anything, I just destroyed the extra. Even after I told them that they were losing money that I was deleting, they said nothing... Needless to say I logged on my warrior soon after...and got another AA. Guess it was not too bad of a night. :)

Out of respect for the class, they should have turned it off.

However, I have been in several groups (unfortunately) where the ML ran away with the loot.

Sadly, depending on how much you are pulling in, you may want to have it on. Unless you know you can trust the ML. *shrug*

In a non-dungeon pick up group where there is cash dropping, I tend to want my share. If you are worried about the weight, do a /split with the cash you accumulate and destroy the rest. I know auto-split isn't a fair share, but it's something. On a lower level toon going through a cash drop zone, I won't group with a person who won't turn it on.

I have always found that I make far more money soloing than I ever do in groups. I agree with JamesGTI on turning off split. Let the non-soloable classes pick up all the cash drops to make up for their inability to get it on their own. I can't remember the last time I grouped in a place with decent cash loot anyway.

I still roll for equipment/good gem drops but the cash and small gems I just let go.

So you see, the advantage of a premium membership to Alla.
(or at least use it free)

I agree 100% that autosplit should be off if you have a ML - heck my chanter can get encumbered real quick if I havent banked money from last adventure as well.

I became the 2nd ML the other night after first filled up and forgot I had autosplit on - had 2 tells and 2 /g says to turn it off LOL after first corpse.

As far as getting stiffed by the ML running off; I can only remember that happening the first week when ML went LD just before LDON finished and never logged back in. I have well over 200 LDONs between my characters and while I often play with at least one person I know, I do a lot of LDONs with pick ups groups that are new to me. Guess I have just been lucky or you have had bad experiences.

Anyway common sense to use ML, if you dont trust your group members fairly loot you should look elsewhere and autosplit is really unfair to rest (rounding goes to looter and you never come close to a fair split).

see forum FAQ

Heh. Um... That's why you should always have a main slot free. That way you can at least carry that thing back to a bank, and then make a decision about what to do with it.

auto split off? depends if its ldon or normal zone. in ldon i prefer auto split off. i've done about 90 adventures so far and i've been unlucky enough to get robbed by the ML. Not much you can do about that, except avoid those toons in the future.

but for normal zones, i prefer auto-split on, especially if i don't know those toons i'm playing with. at least i still get something even if its only 7 copper. better than nothing.

Every time i hear the story of a ML betraying everybody I ask myself:

"How come that someone gets to be ML that (obviously) NO ONE in the whole group knew?"

Seriously - As a group leader before I let some strager be ML just because his class "fits to be ML" I rather let it do ANYONE I know at least a bit including the main healer - and **** the "clerics should sit on their *** and med"-rule for once....
