Re: Why does the Dark Father drop random cash on floor??
Yes, there are autolooters in the gauntlet. No, 99% of the time you think it's an autolooter, it's not. Fast hands, a connection that isn't on the other fuggin' side of an ocean, (this includes Brazil, as the Internet lines fron NA to SA run through the ocean, not on land) and moving quickly rather than siting dumbfounded, all really contribute to loot speed. I've actually spotted autolooters in the Gauntlet only a few times.
As for the gold piles, that's because SOME people are sensible, and if they spot bones on the floor, they know it's better to immediately hit a pre-set macro key to repeatedly use a bladed item on them, then risk another rotting corpse popping up. Of course, if the leechers would just be smart enough to stand 2 spaces away rather than dancing around 8 spaces away, that wouldn't be a problem to begin with.
