Actually, autosplit works differently than it used to.

It splits the loot evenly, breaking plat, gold, etc. down into the necessarily smaller components. So if a mob has 2 plat, 5 gold, 6 silver, 8 copper (yes, just made those up), that gets divided into 4 gold, 2 silver, 8 copper a piece for a full group (2pp,5gp,6sp,8cp = 2568cp, divided by 6 = 428 (yes I used a calculator), which is 4gp,2sp,8cp.)

Now that wouldn't be too bad now, since I have a box of abu kar, light burlap sack, and the EE bag. But let's travel back to level 20. I'm in full bronze, basically no strength gear, and I'm tankin these blood red goblins in sola. I shit you not, sir, my natural weight (when I left the bank after selling) was 105/101.

With yaulp, I was able to be unencumbered during fights, keeping my agility above 75, the big AC-fucker being 74. But to do this, I had to destroy my coins when they added up to too much. With split on, I got 0pp, and the occasional gold coin. silver and copper were instantly destroyed. I requested people turn off split just so I don't have to destroy my coins every time someone looted something.

So please! turn OFF autosplit! Casters, I will allow you to stand up for a moment, miss a single tick of mana regen every now and then. Do it when you're at 75m, loot like 5 in a row. It's cool, we understand!
