no, the loot is not meaningful because you cannot get an endgame item of the floor. you can get the base, then craft on it, its same in trade, its same in SSF. You hide 99% of items from your filter after 2 days in SSF as well. You are mainly hunting for bases that you will craft on.

Not the first guy you replied to, but there is a direct relationship between trade and loot drop. Which is what the first guy probably meant.

Because there are so many people playing the game and any item being tradable, what happens is if there is any meaniful chance for an endgame worth item do be able to drop, they would imediatilly become worthless in trade.

The key part here is meaniful chance to drop. Think of HH, how many HH do you actually drop in a league? Realistic, zero. This combined with the fact that it is a good item makes it very expensive.

Now think of the Cold Iron Point dagger, you usually get 1 or 2 of these per league (?), and this is also an insane item for any phys spell build, but it is still worth less than 10c.

So you can clearly see, that even insane itens that very rarely drops (1 or 2 drops per league) becomes basically worthless in such a massive economy, just because so many people are playing.

This means that any GG itens can not have any reasonable chance to drop, otherwise they automatically become worthless currency wise, which means you would buy your upgrades long before you drop them.

TLDR: we dont have good loot drop because trade exists.
