 What's up guys, it's Esfand here with yet another wow classic update Excuse me guys. I think I'm I think I'm losing my voice. I've been doing a lot of GTA RP and stuff on stream So playing different voices. I think it's got me screwed up Excuse me. Okay. Let's go so We've talked a lot about it. We finally finally have gotten an answer for loot trading in classic initially They said that they wanted loot trading to be a thing. They said this is the blizzcon panel and we've talked about it ever Since basically that you have the two-hour window after you pick up an item that's by non-pickup You can trade it to whoever else was eligible for that item that way You know if you accidentally do anything, whatever you think you can give it to the right person Let's go in on this So Tepsilum Made this post a few hours ago at blizzcon 2018 We talked about how we plan to keep loot trading in World of Warcraft classic We added loot trading in Wrath of the Lich King to solve a common problem a player could accidentally loot an item meant for another player Or give it to the wrong person using master loot They would then have to contact Blizzard to get the item moved to the intended recipient which might take days We wanted to keep loot trading in wow classic because the end result is the same the correct person gets the item And it'll save everyone time Well the end result might be You know what but we heard your concerns about the potential for abuse of the loot trading system in parts of five true Yes, it's possible that abusive play could take the form of a group of four players or three or even two by the way Colluding to deny loot to a stranger who joined their party as a pickup Raid groups being much larger come with more understanding on the part of solo players that loot distribution can depend on the whims of The many players and raid leaders who know each other Yeah for the most part this is mostly true, right because later on in the expansion later on in the expansion Or sorry in the game for vanilla You might have a situation where you're like you're you're plugging you're you're doing pick up groups for like mountain core or BWL or whatever Also another situation where you'd be in raid groups is like UBRS or something so like if you're doing You know upper black rock spy or you're going to be it's typically done with 10 people It was originally 15 and then and then 10 later on Taking that into consideration will not originally 15. Okay. You got come on. Okay taking that into consideration We've decided that the two-hour loot trading system and while classic will only apply to soulbound gear that drops in raids Soulbound loot that drops in five person content will not be tradable at any time. Okay? Okay, that's good. Oh What we hope to do is strike a balance between saving players time and minimizing the potential for abuse of the system Okay, that's good find a middle ground. We think this approach better address of the concern we've heard from players on the subject So this thing will apply to only soulbound gear that drops in raids. So Is this in any loot system? This is pretty much exactly what what we've been saying this is pretty much exactly what I've been saying now I've been saying specifically for master loot in a raid environment Soulbound loot that drops in five person content will not be tradable anytime and is this linked to the content is This linked to the content or is this linked to the raid group if it's linked to the raid group If it's linked to the raid group then That would affect UBRS Right like we just mentioned that would affect Blackhawk's fire if you're doing like if you're doing a dungeon It's it's technically a raid right but people consider it a dungeon because the level of loot that drops there This would affect that as well, so If they're doing this the right way, this would have to not affect UBRS But if it's linked to where you're at and it's like, oh, no, no, we made it to be it's it to where it's molten core ZG BWL AQ 40 Nax whatever right if they make it like that to where it's linked to those specific things But what about world bosses? Right taking that into consideration. We've decided the two-hour loot trading system in my classic will only apply to soulbound gear that drops in raids They do mention master loot here earlier That that was that was basically the problem that we're trying to solve is giving it to the wrong person using master loot My question is does this affect every type of loot distribution? I Think that an easier solution to this would be if you're trying to find a middle middle ground I think an easier solution to this would be to Specifically do have it for master looter and raids I think it solves that problem because you're typically not going to be doing master looter outside of Maybe outside of like a few bosses it kind of depends on Typically typically you're not going to do master looter in UBRS, but you're going to be doing it in world bosses You're going to be doing it in the bigger raids So that would kind of solve that problem and that would put it in the players hands right giving the players agency to do that and I've said it before I've said it before in My personal opinion my personal self's opinion and this is coming from somebody who yes has done this before I Specifically what happened on stream? I mean you could probably just like look through my youtube channel and find this I Accidentally gave netherwind shoulders to a hunter because everybody's screaming the hunter's name and then I just you know Just your brain gets jumbled up or jumbled up or whatever and then I see the name and I click it right So I've made the mistake before but in my personal opinion. I think that It would just be best if you make a mistake if something like that happens Then you don't need you don't have GM's right? You don't have GM's that they want to they don't they don't want to pay for people to come in and have like a team of people To do this and have it take several days too. So really what I think they should do or what I would like for them to do personally is If you screw up, it's on you if you screw up, it's on you move along. That's it, right? But I mean obviously that's not going to happen, right? This is this is blizzard 2019 whatever So I Think that this is a good solution. I think this is a good solution We've been suggesting something very similar and I would like again I would like some clarification on this is this all loot all soulbound gear the drops and raids or Is it in a master looting situation because they mentioned master looting earlier? So Anyway guys, I think this is overall. I think overall this is good news At least the fact that they're they're moving in the right direction. I didn't think that they would go Never in for a second like got my hopes up to think that they would actually completely get rid of loot trading I think that would be insane Assume that they would do right but um Excuse me, sorry, but I'm like I guess I'm losing my voice and I something's going on but guys anyway Thank you guys for watching.
