mmorpg like guild wars 2, specific with the shared loot system

[deathmaths11]

just before you start reading, you probably may have read my two posts and one of the game suggested guild wars 2 so l decided to try it out four days ago now l am liking it. thus now l am making a post based on this game specifically but still talking about general mmos.

just want to say l highly respect that mmo game. which is why l am just curious to know how many mmo similar to guild wars 2 in terms of the shared loot system. the reason l am keen on that concept is that in the past l have played some mmo games, the one l most remember was fiesta which was 5-6 years ago so it is a long time since l decided to play an mmo game.

one of the main reason l left that game and also not playing another other mmo game was due to the fact that everyone is mostly selfish and can easily be selfish in terms of getting loot. for eg-you about to kill that monster or cut that tree, if someone is faster than you in getting it then you have to go somewhere else, then if that is gone then you have to keep finding your own spot.

the guild wars 2 game is completely opposite, now everyone can cut the same tree, attack the same monster and get loot/xp, also you dont need to be in a party or anything, just by yourself out in the world.

furthermore, l like to add that people who are paying money in the microtransition game store dont have an overwhelming advantage against people who are not paying money. since the items you get, does not benefit that great and also eventually you can use game money to buy those stuff unlike many other mmo where you have to use real money.

(here is the source: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions). read the question about "gem store" that is what l am referring to in the game. of course you need to buy the game and luckily there is no monthly subscription like other mmo(wow for eg, my cousin used to play that but it was 7-8 years ago so l dont know if it is still the same but you get what l mean)

so with that said, l like to know the games with shared loot system. l am doing some research on that but it will be great if someone can share some knowledge with me.

ADDITIONALLY, l like to request two more more thing on top of that. I like the combat mechanic/system of guild wars 2 but l want it more challenging, l was hoping there would be no auto lock targeting system avaliable so if you use ranged weapons that you need to aim as if you playing a shooting game. not sure if that is possible but might as well put it out there. secondly, l am hoping that you can do more side things, this idea is coming from runescape so l hope you understand what l mean. obviously, guild wars 2 isnt restricted to combat, you can craft stuff but that is all l heard/see besides fighting. l am not sure if there is more things to do besides combat in guild wars 2, l only played for 4 days. but l am pretty sure you cant do farming, fishing, cooking, etc like runescape does.

basically l just wish guild wars 2 has what runescape does, the big variety of stuff you can do besides fighting, and more advanced combat mechanics where you need to practise your aim. l am currently fine with the current combat mechanic in guild wars 2 as there is a dodge option in every player/class and there are additional system that lets you dodge(move quickly to one space) so thats good. l think with wow back in the days as l see my cousin play, you dont need to dodge and your cant dodge, you just stand there cast your stuff. most important, still has that shared loot system involved, l almost forgot to really point that out lol!

edited: l just remembered tera has been talked about having advance combat tactics so l might try it out but l am not to keen due to my research on finding out that it is declining in playerbase. so l am not sure if it is worth trying a game that is declining. l am pretty sure there must be some other action combat mmorpg games out there that is still maintaining.

note: l will add in games that l have researched on and put it here so anyone can have a comment on them/share their views on it.

l just want to say l done some research and basically tera is now as action combat mmorpg which made me realize it is something like dark souls but just more online involved and needs internets.

l am currently researching on blade and soul, black desert online, relevlations online, dragon nest, also tera too and comparing them.

l managed to find a good youtube link(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIKIoOM5gJI) basically titles as blade and soul vs black desert online which highlights the differences. in a sentence, blade and soul relies more on skill so when you die you ask how you move better where black desert relies more on gear so when you die you ask how l equip better. it is from the youtube and seen some examples on it, basically saying blade and soul is more raw mechanics where black desert is hack and slash(from youtube).

just from that, l already know my game type which is the raw mechanics so l would pick blade and soul over black desert online, since l came from a dark souls background.

tera seems to be more raw mechanics too with dragon nest. they both have this aim cursor that l can see from the youtube gameplays.

blade and soul doesnt as far as l can see, it only highlights targets you are attacking, so it is very similar to dark souls. additionaly from that link, it talks a lot about dodging. tera as well from other links and game play.

l am not putting down black desert as bad so dont want to get any hate here just sharing my opinion. from that link, it did say both needs to have skill but just attracts different kinds of player, something along those words.

now l am going to find other action combat mmorpg. to get a better idea. just from that, l may stop the guild wars 2 even though it is still fun. luckily l only played the free verison, l was pretty close on deciding to buy the full version. although, l got a feeling l would still be returning to that game due to many known postives which attracted me.

l got a feeling that these action combat mmorpg wont have the shared loot system like guild wars 2 that is important factor to me in whether l play the game or not. but then again, l might play both, since l really do like the action combat from dark souls but just want it more online rpg, also not that hard lol.
