Loot system

Things change and ppl change. I do believe Devs could consider new ideas once there would be some real good and well thought of...

By all means, poke holes into the NKP thread and point out ways that it is not well thought out.

Spoiler

But to me, the dev response is incredibly clear. They would rather people get lucky than reward consistent and repeated play:

Basically you are describing a system that would favor active players for loots ( Any kinds of loot ? Legendaries ? Crooked Sticks ?), because the most active players would have the most NKP.
That means people, who dont have the time to play that much, wont get much loots because they are not active enough.
And active players (who are already getting more loot because they are playing more then the others ) would get almost everything.
Where is that fair ? In which case would that be better than a random system ?

For reference, some posts from the NKP thread pointing out the illogical reply about "fairness:"

Why should active players have the worst of lesser active ones?
Its a fact that people who invest alot of time into something should get more in return then people who dont...
Its like a group project, why should people who put less effort into something share the same result as a person who invested alot of his time into it?  (which he could have spend on something else)

Just the players that get nothing with hours and hours spent can get something via NKP.

I will summarize this a dev telling everyone dont bother playing this mod you wont be rewarded for your time spent. At least we know what direction where heading in now. This is exactly why many people have quit the mod to go and play games where they can put in a lot of hours and be rewarded based on what they play. Completely lost confidence in the mod now.

how dare the people putting in the most work and play longer hours get rewarded more then anyone else! - how dumb do i sound.

Like you, I'd like to see the NKP system, and I also disagree with k4mi's post about unfairness

Why, it is quite a good proposition to reward players for the sole fact they play with something more than gold. Only I'd consider the points to be exchangeable to equipment items rather than mats. Mats can be usually purchased without huge problems, just the matter of money. But it's not the money we're talking about or else it would be just enough to increase the pay for killed nords and we could have perfect reward for active players. What do you think of an idea that the performance based reward (with use of points or whatever) could be equipment items only attainable this way (special ones)?
