Not a huge fan of this only because of how it can be exploited and remove the crafters name.
I kill you, loot all your stuff. Now it says looted by, or from.
But then I get a friend to kill me and he loots it, and now it say looted from me.
Not a good idea.
I like better to just see who crafted it like most other games and be done with it.
I really would have liked a Shift+right click to bring up the details instead of it loading on tool tips. or a details panel in the inventory windows to see the stats, i dont like the way the information is presented.
I think there should be an "owned by" on items such as baskets
and this should be able to be seen in a mouse-over of a placed basket
Best tool tip ever has to be done certain way example if you ever played eq 1 and used mq2 you would know the perfect tool tip. those of you who have know what im talking about it gives all item stats small description and a compare window as well
So you are ok with us not having a compass or a map but tooltip "found by" stays? So when I scavange I engrave my name on anything I find? Why not add another level of "reality" and introduce more information like:
"Crafted by" + "dropped by" + "found by" + "looted by" + "bought by" + "looted by" + "dropped by" + "found by" + ....
You see where I'm getting at?
As for crafted items I would like to have a crafters signature on each item but this whole "found by" thing is too much. Yes it does burden the game with more DB information then needed and yes it's a source of possible data related problems and yes it looks ugly right now.
I see people who cry "no safe zones!" all the time like tooltips a lot. Will you make up your mind, do you want a reality sim or do you want a game? Having contradictory stance to different issues can not fly.
