a "down convert" even split wouldnt be classic... but would make auto split useful.
I always thought classic auto split was if there was enough coin to split from each type it would. 5 party group spiting 6 coins meant the looter got two and everyone else got 1. If there wasnt enough for the group the looter got everything. | ||

Can't say I personally remember exactly how it worked, however I do remember primarily using ML in groups and splitting afterward because it was shit. That or there was a monk in the group that would get a barrage of shitty copper that nobody ever wanted.
It would make sense to have a logical conversion rate for fairness sake, but overall if it stays as is and people don't like it you can always ML and split after. Can't commit on the THATS NOT CLASSIC portion of it due to fuzzy memory :[ | ||

The reason ML was used so much is exactly the unfairness. Classic did not downconvert and simply split coins it could evenly giving any remainder to the looter then moved to the next tier of coin. So 5g 27s in a group of 6 was given 4s each, then 5g 7s to the looter.
Please keep it classic. | ||

However no 0p 0g 0s 0c messages were issued so a lot of times you were not aware someone looted coin if the mob had less than 5 of each.

I just had someone confirm on live that it does no conversions whatsoever for using the actual /split command, and all remainders go to the splitter; this matches up exactly with the code pasted above.
Autosplit on the other hand is a different matter, as I mentioned before it uses some complex system on live.

I played back in the very early days and the split seemed to be pretty simple. Any coins left over after dividing evenly went to the looter. This was why it was common in groups to have a "master" looter who would get all the coins and then do a split when someone had to leave or the group was going to disband.
Please do not downconvert. While useful for "fairness", its not the way it used to be and would also tend to increase the weight of the coins looted. More weight is not a good thing. | ||

If you could design a system where it would only downconvert the oddball leftovers. If you're on a three man group and the initial loot was 5p, 0g, 0s, 0c would only split as follows: The first three platinum should split evenly with 1pp each. The 2p left over get down converted to 20 gold, which also split with 6 gold each, with the leftover 2 gold going to the looter. That way, the ML is getting a slight advantage but not getting overwhelmed in gobs of coin.
