people always complain that henchmen steal drops and what not...

i think the henchmen drops should be shown and reserved just like a players items (oh, and they could never time out and go unassaigned)


another nice thing would be if they picked up all their drops, and you could trade with them (like a normal player) and then browse their inventory, pick an item, and drag it to the trade:
1. they would only accept cash (perhaps 1k for a white, 5k for a blue, 25k for a purple, 50k for a gold/green)
2. if they fill their inventory, they destroy items starting with the oldest
3. if you enter town, henchmen keep their drops until you depart from town or remove them from your party

this way you could get that green drop you have been looking for forever...but it would cost you 50k (which is also a 50k moneysinc)

what does everyone think?

If Dunham wanted me to pay 1k for a white drop, i would take him back to town and kick him from my group.

It's a nice idea in principle but imagine a group that has one or two henchmen. The human players would be constantly initiating trade as soon as the boss didn't drop anything worthwhile. How annoying that would be.

Much easier if Anet just gave better drops, even if they gave henchies all the white, blue and purple drops and left the best for me, i would be happy.

but thats never going to happen...or no one would go with anyone but henchmen...

so perhaps it could be timed or something? every 60 seconds could be divided up between the players, and if they clicked trade during that time, its their trade (i know thats a bad idea...)

perhaps itll cost 500 just to see his stuff

I would rather sacrifice all the gold coinage drops to the henchies in exchange for items.

I think you should have the option of paying 1k to each henchman before you leave town, in exchange for all their item drops.

Well 1k for all their drops to each hench? you probably won't make 1k off their drops in lower areas as it is...

I think they should leave drops as it is as its like a price you pay for teaming with a hench... but make all money drops not shared. IMO best idea...

then people would just rush the money and not fight....

just show their drops, and dont let them time out...then people will be able to see than lina got their green item...and they can cry about it, but they will know it was there!@
