Silent anti-loot hopper measures.

[Xianyu 820]

Welp, once the duping is removed, this is going to be a much larger problem. I forsee a point in time when the barracks is just going to be the single worst place on the map what with all the loot points at NWAF and the giant open spaces/etc etc.

Since Rocket seems to think that putting the only two highest static loot points in the same general geographic area, then I'm going to suggest a measure to stop loot hoppers in the barracks.

Once you swap enough servers, military loot stops spawning for you. Silently. Maybe just the high-tier loot spawns, like in the towers/hangers/barracks, while deer stands still spawn loot for you.

This period of non-spawning of military loot could work for up to half an hour. If you're server hopping, you're generally looking for military loot. And if you accidentally trip the triggers when looking for a server (Which is bound to happen with the USELESS state of the server search functions), then you only miss out on high-end military loot, and not the normal loot like food/water/other shit. Which basically minimizes its impact on the general community.

The people who would be worst affected are loot hoppers at NWAF/Starry.

Loot already will de-spawn within 100 meters of a spawn in.

This would put far too much strain on the server, trying to find out who's been where and what loot to spawn for them and for how long.

Servers are already under a lot of stress

It doesn't despawn, it just won't spawn if it hasn't already.

If someone has already been by and spawned the loot, it will still be there

There's still gonna be way to farm without hopping. Imo after issues like indestructible weapon-manufacturing tents, duping via backpack and so on, are dealth with, the loot spawn system needs to be redone completely and server hopping, not just for loot, is whole problem on its own. I wouldnt mind if all servers had private hives or at least your position would be saved locally on every server.
