    Anti Looting Idea
    So. We've all had those few teammates. Who finally see the kill message and scramble for the loot. Having contributed nothing to it. I propose a coding in which the player who gets the kill is the only one who can touch the loot for 8-12 seconds. This would slow the number of hoarders as well as bring a bit of tactical security for your hard work. Just an idea.

    Let me know of any potential drawbacks or additions you can think of.

    No. Too complicated and if your team members steal something kill them.

    In what way is it complicated? The items have an immunty except for the player who got the kill. The same way the feed registers you being the killer, the system prevents the aquisition of the loot for a small grace period.

    I really like that idea but like Lord said it would be hard to code for almost nothing..

    Yeah Ik.. Anyway, Well see if they will consider this as enough good to be added. But I approve I'd like something like that.
    Or like a kind of /protect ole20084 or stuff like that. So when I do this you can't take my stuff

    I'm not a big fan of this idea to be honest, If your team members or whoever are not loyal enough to share loot out. Get a new team.

    Peas I get that. I do. But be honest, the loosely bound alliances we have already. Took time. You really want to give that all up and have to reforge a team from scratch once more? Or have a system to prevent such a thing from happening?

    Actually. No. Think... the way players get spawn prot. The items get drop prot.

    As well as the fact I just mentioned above, it's just unnecessary in my opinion. You sniper someone from long range. Advantages - You're in a somewhat safe position Disadvantage - People can steal the loot before you can reach it. Its part of WarZ, it wouldn't be right to take the loot rush away.

    I just stated coding and thought it was that easy but....if they did finally code it and if the server was busy with 30 players and lots of killing was going on the server would have to split into thought peoples loot that was just dropped and it would lag like crazy so its not worth it

    The drop prot will prevent it. For a time. During which. You kill the looters. Area secure.

    Again, merely spitballing. Feel free to tweak as you see necessary.

    also what happens if you want to give your friends stuff? huh your not much of a team if you don't share stuff. So kill your team if they steal your loot! thats what I did on a faction server :V
    how about you do the coding for this xD see what you think then

    the spawn protection or drop protection is not permanent lasting at most 8 seconds anything after that can be taken in distributed as pleased. as well that I am going to school to work on video game coding design and programming. This kinda stuff is my life.

    It still is just wasteful because we do not need this. There is no real problem that this will fix because when your still sorting your stuff the team will come and get stuff. If you have a problem about sharing with your team then go lone wolf.

    The crucial difference between sharing and stealing are your manners, dread.

    This NEEDS to be added.... I can't say how many times I've killed a full diamond guy and one of my friends run by and steal everything, then I kill my un-loyal teammates and my loyal teammates try to kill me because they think I betrayed them, then I have to kill them and I no longer have a team.
    So, add this.

    EDIT - Also, this would be not hard to code at all.
