What would be nice:
Remove loot spew. Remove hacking container blowing up on failure
Add: Relevant things for all loot types (2, the current 5, maybe more) Add: Additional "objectives" in the hacking minigame. Cores to be reached for each data type. Reach a core, it ulocks that loot. Not revealed until you hit it, just as present, so if you haven't found the data core you wanted yet, keep looking, it might be the last. Add: A container that opens up, where you can non-spew your loot into the cargo hold. |

I was all excited to do data- and relic-site hacking until I got my first real taste of it. I think whoever came up with the idea should be fired. What's next...ores being mined jettisoning out into space before "poofing" out of existence? How would the miners feel about that? They'd be mad. So why punish hackers with such insult?
Again, if I wasn't clear, the loot mechanic is utterly idiotic. |

Said no one ever. It is a very annoying mechanic, who the hell thought of this? CCP lead developer's cave-man-IQ-sporting loser of a nephew who can't get a job in the real world, and was offered a spot on the dev team to keep him out of trouble. That's my guess. |

I think some of the mechanics of the Ghost sites get it right. Hack the container via the mini game, then you can loot everything. If the mini game didn't exist I'd somewhat be ok with the loot spew since it does add some interaction and challenge. |

I skilled up for hacking and stuffs for odyssey, I feel like I wasted skill points. I hate the mechanic. I stopped exploring entirely because of the thought that I'm just losing isk because of a stupid loot spew. That and not getting anything good. |

Yes, continue quitting exploration. Let the supply of decryptors and power circuits dry up. *evil laugh*
I've gone from hating loot spew to finding it annoying but acceptable. It takes like 5 sites to memorize which loot comes from where, and there's even an implant for making it easier.
That said, loot spew is a very strong factor in making me ignore most cans and only cherry pick the good ones. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"

My one most lucrative and fun activity RUINED! RUINED! This lame ass "loot spew" is ridiculous beyond description. Not to mention making you a sitting duck whilst engaged in this hacking and spewing! Not fun, do not want. |

Loot spew sucks.
Everything about it sucks.
Please fix.
Make exploration rewarding, not a hard kick to the hoo-hahs.

It's annoying but I am OK with it.
If I have any criticism, it is that loot spew is not solo friendly.
One of the nice things about exploring was that you could do it solo.

Loot spew is pretty awful. Exploration looked interesting right up until I saw that fuckaround bullshit. Such a disappointment after coming back to big improvements like the depot/tractor deployables. |

I wish to register my unmitigated hatred for the loot spew mechanic.
I would challenge it to a duel, but it would flee in a thousand directions and disappear, leaving my honor unsatisfied and my clicking hand permanently disfigured. |

Loot Spew was brought to you by the same team that gave us that other anti-fun master piece the 40 second reload, And that all time classic the Heavy Missile launcher balance.
Cant wait to see what tension building mechanic they come up with next. "What you talking about willis" |

There's a simple solution to loot mechanism. Just make loot containers permanent.

They tried to make it more group activity. Now its all ankward. If they remove loot containers mechanism, more ppl will explore, prices will drop, tears will flow. |

Well not ALL of the responses are completely negative. That means some people love it, and thus the feature is a smashing success. - CCP Logic
Face it, if they haven't done anything about it by now with all the negative player feedback, odds are they ain't gonna do it anytime soon. Most of the creator-level Devs seem to realize that it is a horrible mechanic that needs to be replaced. The decision-makers in charge apparently don't see it that way. And probably don't give two shiites until it starts affecting the company's bottom line. They apparently focus on the "new shiny" to draw in new players, rather than fixing the shiite they broke in the previous expansion and making a decent game. So you either need to start quitting in droves over Dumpster Diving (ie. Exploration), or generate enough bad press on other gaming sites so it actually gets their attention. There's been enough of these threads already that they know that we don't like loot spew, it's just that they don't give a feck about our opinion. |

I find the hacking mini-game extremely tedious. I consider it to be on the level of the lowest forms of mobile phone games... I think the loot spew part is fine. Atleast it requires some attention and micro.
However Ive stopped doing both Relic/Data sites altogether in favor of simply warping to Combat Anomalies once I enter a system, and continuing Probing for Combat Sigs, while killing the rats from the f10 map interface.
I find that to a far more amusing (and rewarding) type of mini-game. |

Its plenty solo friendly. Fit cargo scanner, never miss anything valuable. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"

Loot spew still just plain annoying
Often can't click on those stupid tiny boxes even when I do manage to identify the ones I want
Very glad they dropped it for the ghost sites so I now have some reason to have the hacking skill

Loot spew isn't that bad. Exploration revamp has suppressed the salvage market enough as it is. If every explorer got every piece of salvage from every hacked can then the affect would be even worse. Just look at Data sites, they are hardly worth doing. |

Reduce loot quantity in cans, price problem solved. Exploration revmap made exploration too easy. That's the real problem. I don't have a problem to scan null sites with covop and lvl 3 skills. Removing loot spew will cause another problem. Same dead end as with 35 rapids reload.

Yep. Sometimes i think i'm playing another game.

Yes, this is mega-annoying. When you jump through all the hoops to get the loot in the first place, having it suddenly become a reflexes check is like "F*** you" from the dev team. |

I just dont understand these negative sentiments about the loot spew.
You have like a full 5-8s to casually and nonchalantly cursor over the cans and select the next one to tractor, and then look for the next one.
I have a terrible suspicion that most of these complainers are not using Cargo Scanner or actually haven't even taken the time to do a simple google read on which cans drop which loots. |

I've just gotten into null exploration, and the loot spew makes me want to go into a nursery at a hospital then proceed to punt all of the newborn babies off the roof. It is horrible, and has no place in this game.
First I have to scan a site, then I have to **** around with a connect the dots mini game that takes up the majority of my screen, THEN I have to try to click on horribly unresponsive cans that randomly have the loot I saw with a cargo scanner.
Loot spew should be a punishment for failing, not the reward. |
