For the millionth time, this game has never been a Looter Shooter, or a loot game...whatever that is.... The original writer specifically said he wanted a space Odyssey....sci-fi MMO like game, but not like every other MMO where you just throw numbers at the screen. This game is what Luke Smith thinks it should be. I can promise you, he never said loot game, or Looter Shooter. He is a WoW head. Games have loot in them....every game does. That doesn't make them loot based, loot games, or Looter Shooters. That is why you feel this game has failed as a loot game. Because it never was.
