Dear CCP.

Please keep your Metal Scraps. I don't need them. Is there any way to give em back (I could make a contract to your Alliance if it's okay).

Besides, I just realized that you, dear CCP, ruin my game everytime a little more you change something. Isn't it to much to ask that you fix all known issues - bugs and more - BEFORE you roll out stuff nobody asked for? I'm still a paying customer and when i buy something that is broken, I ask for a fix.

And then you roll out new stuff, please make sure it's tested and it works. I really don't need the n-th bugfix for a new feature you haven't tested enough every time i log in.

That's all for today.

Anyone who agrees with me feel free to put your "signed" here.

Thanx

Despite awkward rant, I do have to agree with OP, dragging a wreck billions of millimeters across the vastness of space only to find a single Metal Scrap in it is the most horrible of trolls.

for the love of god, can you please auto-stack metal scraps at least, like every other salvage item?

the paltry amount of trit you get per scrap isnt worth the effort involved to target it, tractor it and loot it. many times you are in range to just start salvaging, and taking the time to tractor/target loot a measly scrap is a pain. i would enjoy if every wreck could drop 1-3 scraps to make things interesting, and as someone else stated auto stacking the individual scraps would be great.

They wanted to get rid of Meta 0 Loot so they just replaced it in the loot tables with Metal Scraps.

Every time you're supposed to loot a Meta 0 iten you get a Metal Scrap now. My guess: They figured out that it would be a little bit of work to adjust the loot tables.

In the end you just get a lot less ISK out of your loot because CCP wanted to save some time.

Srew the isk, it doesn't matter, but please get the chance of looting scaps down to the level it was before.

It's just messy.

I'm hoping CCP increases the drop rate of metal scraps to match the amount of ore that was previously being dropped, only this time it would all be tritanium. That would put the veldspar price back down where it belongs.

Please don't tell Chribba I said this.

Between the loot nerf and the crappy way the UI handles looting I hardly bother anymore. I know the loot nerf was to buff production and mining, but the time wasted with the UI is the nail in the coffin for it.

You can contract them to me or my corporation. We'll even pick it up from you.

Metal scraps were one of the many nerfs to Lvl 4s that the Lvl 4 hating community refuses to acknowledge ever happened. Even when the only rewards is a bent penny and salvage comprised of metal scraps, people will still rage against Lvl 4s because they are game breaking. Roll

Lol

It's not even difficult.
1) tractor wrecks in
2) open wrecks (& deactivate tractor beams)
3) active tractor beams on next group of wrecks
4) Click "Loot all"... click, click, click, click
5) active salvagers on empty wrecks and return to 2.

Continue until everythin has been looted and salvaged and warp out -> ??? -> Profit?
