item auto? something wrong with it

I noticed a strange behaviour of item auto parties.
Expected: item auto distrubes items in order(one by one) beginning with first char in the party. So that everyone in the party gets something.
Found: It tends to forget the order after e few minutes and starts over. It is very annoying if you are one of the last party members.
For example, your party killed a giant party, items are picked (mostly items are picked first ofcourse), so you get no items but garbage. You think thats fine. Because, it is your turn. But, what happens, it starts over, you get nothing but garbage again:shock:
Anybody noticed that? Or am I mistaken?

I always thought it was random, as I have been the last person in a party before and still gotten plenty of drops.

In item auto share, first item goes to first person, 2nd to 2nd, 3rd to 3rd etc.
But since most of JM's inventions are bugged, this might be bugged too. I haven't noticed this yet

nope, its completely random, next time when you are at a 8man, drop arrows 4 times, and you will see it doesnt go by order

it usually works fine for me... from time to time it glitches up... but usually it will go in order..
money drops count too, so it moves down the list when a pile of gold is picked up too..
if the gold cannot be divided equally among the party members, the extra 1 gold is distributed to whoever its turn to get the 'drop' =D
but i guess if the remainder of gold is higher than 1, it just gives everyone else after him an extra piece of gold until the remainder is used up

Everything counts as a drop, gold, items, elixirs, arrows, bolts, etc...

Gold is divided among all the players. Other ones go random / in order, still gotta try but can't connect

Obviously any amount under 8 gold in an 8 man pt cant be shared equally between all members, thats the exception.

As far as I know, It is not random but in order.
For this very reason, I kick out clevers (!) all the time benefiting this rule. They pick garbage until their turn then pick the item

Random in a game isn't random at all. To imitate random, they make a calculation complicated; the more random it seems, the more complicated the equation.
