Annoying Guardian Raid loot claim system

I don’t usually post things in here as I dedicate myself to the game to even actively participate in the forums. However, I’ve been getting irritated by this Guardian raid orb loot system or checkbox to claim reward before the raid start and I had to write something.

My concern is that the system, as most of you are aware, makes it likely to claim a loot you don’t want by checking a box which happens to me when helping some of my friends or randoms on lower tiers of guardian raids than my current item level and I end up getting a lower tier 1-3 orb that I cannot ignore because it was “meant” to appear as your checked the box.

Then there’s the other problem that you DO want the rewards, you finish the raid and after what feels like 10 mins of cutscene, then a full screen MVP window appears right after and blocks your view and blanks your mind and you auto-pilot your cursor towards the leave button and suddenly you realize you didn’t claim the orb, thus wasted your daily loot count and your time.

The loot system should be redone so it doesn’t punish you if you leave the loot after successfully defeating a guardian or let you exit without even claiming it and not consume your daily count. There must be plenty of topics regarding this, but not sure if they ever get an official response that could suggest they’ll be working on it to make it part of a quality of life feature in future updates.

Just Pay attention to what ur doing. And boom problem is gone, u wont claim wrong Guardian or dont claim the one u want

Ok, so the problem persist and I just need to get good at the game. Or if I crash from the game and the group finished the content I get no loot, then I must get a better computer or internet.

I understand that I must pay attention, but because my mind wasn’t there by a slight second, and then doing a content that is repetitive I just be like:

enter raid, defeat guardian, claim orb, leave, enter raid, defeat guardian, claim loot, leave, enter raid, defeat guardian, claim orb, leave, enter raid, defeat guardian, claim loot, leave, enter raid, defeat guardian, claim orb, leave, enter raid, defeat guardian, claim loot, leave…

and so on for like 10-13 characters depending how I’m doing dailies and if I have rest bonuses.

At some point I might just miss it because repetitiveness makes me assume I must have claimed it, and then leave.

You are right thats dumb.
Dont know why this isnt in the game

Hey there! I’m glad you have come to the forums with your feedback.

I have seen other players share the sentiment as you, so you’re not alone in wanting this change. I will forward your request to the Development team. :slight_smile:

The checkbox is good, to not loot a lower tier guardian when helping other people (just pay attention)

Clicking the orb to loot should be changed, just how Abyss Dungeons or Legion Raids send the loot after completion directly into your inventory.

Just imagine, you defeat Vykas or the Clown and forget to loot, getting nothing and being locked out with consumed entry, that’s just stupid

This orb clicking only exists in Guardian Raids and may be an outdated feature.

But other than “Feedback has been passed to the team”, as long as KR doesn’t change it, I have low hopes for NA/EU
