I've been reading all this rage about the new upcoming looting system that will be implemented in SK, and it's just completely horrendous. I feel like our old looting system is fine the way it is, but just for the hell of it, I'll suggest another system. So here is a breakdown of this looting system: each player has a cumulative stash in which whatever loot they collect will go into. Each piece of loot, excluding heat, will only be picked up ONCE, but will not be shared IMMEDIATELY. Rather, it will just sit pretty in this stash. This holds true for any materials, crowns, equipment drops, but not heat. For heat, it will remain the same like in the old system where it is shared. Each player within the party has their own stash, and there would be a window where the stash of that player as well as other stashes can be viewed. After a successful run, all living who have reached the elevator will then receive the crowns gathered, like in the old system, and materials will be randomly divided. Should a player die before everyone reaches the elevator, their stash will NOT be shared with the whole party, causing a loss in loot. This makes for a more team based play, so people would actually have more of an incentive to revive other fallen players. This idea would work if the old revive system would still be intact, but that's fine.

No, wait. Instead of having to carry alts thru the whole level, invite them at the end! The crowns and materials will be distributed.
Aren't alts one of the reasons we're having this update?

YES. It's your fault if you don't do your chores before playing.
Should a party member leave of become disconnected, all that player's current loot will be dropped and other players can swoop in and pick it up.
