Newbie question: Why is there no autoloot?

[rickdias]

This isn't a complaint or anything, and since it's a low rate I'm sure the entire setup is livable for people used to having autoloot (like me ).

Still, why?

Is this a balance issue? Like, possibly to make things like Greed useful?

Or to stop some KS-loot action? (I think, don't remember entirely how loot is awarded for a "shared" kill (read: KS).

I've literally only started today and I've just found out on Novice Grounds. And yes, I generally take autoloot for granted on servers. Again, not complaining and I can deal with it, I guess.

Exactly as you said, Greed will become useless and give you a skill only meant to be had by the BS/MS class.

Auto loot was not implemented because of how equipment on this server was used. People used to park their characters in heavily infested maps and level overnight. Auto cast skills do not require you to be under 90% overweight so imagine this kind of leveling combined with the potential to pick up loot.

BUT...it's not possible to afk level anymore so I can see auto loot being implemented here. At least with a level limit. Hurr Durr. 

Try suggesting it.

This is a bit old but, If you haven't done so already, don't suggest it. They're very passionate in their refusal of implementing autoloot.
