Quote:Actually, this is incorrect. You target the items with a general movement of the mouse, by pointing your body towards them, and then by pressing the F button you acquire the "highlighted" item. While multiple items stacked very close to one another will be difficult to cherry pick, this generally only occurs with Boss monsters. The rest of the time you should have no trouble choosing what to pick up and what to ignore, with but a simple mouse gesture of mere centimeters.
PROTIP: When looking at a pile of loot from a boss, then names will "stack" away from you into the distance. Hitting 'F' pulls in the top item (i.e., the name that appears closest to you). Hovering your targeting reticle over a lower item brings it to the top, so that you can select exactly what you want. This works even better if you run through the stack first to auto-loot the [edit] Palladium.
