I always ask for people to turn autosplit off. If it can't split evenly it converts it down to silver/copper and then splits it evenly, which just leaves everyone with a bunch of silver and copper weighing them down.

Thats not how autosplit works, and not why you end up with a bunch of small change.

Autosplit doesn't break down larger coins in to small ones.

What happens, is it divides up each type of coin evenly between each group member, with the left overs going to whoever looted.

So lets say a hill giant drops 35 plat, 46 gold, 200 silver and 15 copper in a full group.

Most group members receive:

5 plat, 7 gold, 33 silver, 2 copper.

This leaves over 5 plat, 4 gold, 2 silver, 3 copper which the looter adds to his share of autosplit, giving him:

10 plat, 13 gold, 35 silver and 5 copper.


The reason you end up with a bunch of silver and copper is most mobs tend to drop a dozen or so each of silver and copper, but generally half a dozen plat or gold. Often there won't be enough plat (or gold depending on level of group) to be shared between the group so instead the looter gets ALL of it. Thats why autosplit is 'unfair'.

This

If you want to split coin set a dedicated coin loot and use...
Split money command
/split # # # #
split any money you're are carrying with your group.

How do you handle greedy players in your groups?
Target player
/d

challenge him to a duel. let ooc know you've challenged this person to a duel and that they're a COWARD if they don't accept or CEASE their scumbaggery

Whenever I join a group with autosplit off they yell at me to turn it on so they don't miss out on the coppers, but whenever I join a group with autosplit on they yell at me to turn it off because they don't want the coppers.

Lowest Common Denominator behavior always wins out.

InB4 Iksar Monk is a thing.

Autosplit is crap. You just end up with 300 copper that you delete cause youre 120/90
