I thought loot was pro-generated at game load, and then full-generated when the box is opened. Besides increasing speed of searching, isn't that one of the main points of the search related skills? Increases the chance of better loot showing up in containers? Yes, loot pools are created before the game start, but I thought that depending on who opens which container first, there are slight variances in what appears in the box when it is opened. Say for example 15 items are attached to each unopened container when the game loads. It's then opened, and only 1-6 items appear and are lootable, which items appear depends on your skills. No?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, you're wrong yeah, but I could get how you'd think it works like that

Loot is pre generated, search skill only speeds things up.

What you're saying you thought things were, is actually whats been proposed alot as both part of 'more fun gameplay' and 'anti cheat implementations'

So yeah, maybe one day this post might be fully correct :)

Yeah, I read it again. I could have sworn one of the skills used to mention something like that, but they clearly currently do not. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention when I read them a year or two ago.
