Ninja loot ?

[Ptitcriss]

What can we do when grouping with some people who just ninja loot everything in group? Even after a lotto that I won i didnt get the item? Just simply petition for it or need to pust screen shot here or better way ?

[Grimmerman]

Idea: just reasoning with your group or not grouping with 'em at all? I mean that in all seriousness.

[azxten]

Leave the group or ninja loot back, start taking everything you can and when your bags are full gate/run out and sell and come back.. tell them you'll brb 5 mins while you sell to make enough cash to buy the item they didn't give you.

[Ptitcriss]

Tryed to reasoning, didnt work. And im not going to ninja loot in return.
Im healer, so im sitting most of the time, cannot race to loot stuff

[Daywolf]

hmmm well in groups I usually play the healer... so lets just say pirates over ninjas :D it's a long run for them if I'm not happy :p

[Omnimorph]

I've found in my experience that the tanks in groups I've been in loot a hell of a lot more than any other class. If you can be bothered I'd try and set up a designated mainlooter and split every once in a while.

My heals usually get 'resisted' when certain group members start messing with me for no reason. I've never had a problem on this server but I'm sure it'll happen sometime. A corpse run usually chills them out. If it's the whole group, I'll go along until it hits the fan and gate. I'm extremely reasonable, tolerant, and rarely loot or speak up if I could use something. So if I'm at the point where I crack, chances are you're an asshole and deserve some EQ justice!

[Ptitcriss]

yeah but well .. when they dont respect even for the main loot .. from named ... there something i can do ? i have the logs .. but what logs mean ... is it a proof ?

Im new on P1999, and i know, like on all other emu server, GM and coders works alot already between the time they can put to play and the time they give to server. So I dont want make them lose time for some cheap loot, but just wanted to know what is usually done for this kind of situation on server.

I would think screenshots and petition would help you to get the item back. But yeah the thing is developers/gm time is used.

What item is it they took ? pm me and If i have one i'll give it to you.
Still not right at all that someone ninja looted from you after You won the roll. Very lame of them.

The best thing to do is probably out them here on the forums. Ruin their reputation and they'll have a hard time getting a group again.

[Loke]

Don't group with them again. In the grand scheme of things, the item you lost out on probably wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, what was it, maybe a couple hundred platinum at most? Just view it as you payed a couple hundred plat for the knowledge that the player you're talking about is a jack off and should be avoided... pretty cheap if you look at it that way imo.

I will say this. Ninja looting sucks, esp when you camped jboots..lol or the fbss. Anyway...it happens. There isn't much recourse other then posting the ss or petitioning. Personally I never liked crucifying someone for ninjalooting, if it was at one of those camps, like fbss, or smr, we would just make it known.

Honestly, most people won't care unless it happened to them...I've seen alot of real wankers thrive in eq cuz they could play alot, and give guilds dedicated play time. You can appeal to the other person's sense of honor...usually doesn't work. I always tried to be the bigger man, as it were. Playing in the mud with the pigs only gets you just as dirty as the pigs.

And honestly I don't know how this gm population will handle this sort of thing, it isn't a bannable offense really, more like a breach of etiquette? So let them ruin their own reputaition...

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

and what Loke said, loot comes and goes in this game, it may seem like the world now, but in a bit it won't seem that big a deal at all.

[Ptitcriss]

Playing in the mud with the pigs only gets you just as dirty as the pigs.

I agree with ya, thats why i didnt put name or screenshot here dont think that will change anything.

[YendorLootmonkey]

Post the screenshots here and out the sonuvabitch. Do not listen to anyone saying "Well, loot is not that big of a deal" because I guarantee you that those people will not let this jack-off in their groups if they're camping FBSS or GEBs or something lucrative like that. Let us crucify him and make sure ninjalooters do not make it very far in this game. I want to know which people to not invite into my groups if I am camping a named for loot that I would like the opportunity to /random and win.

People need to learn that reputation is everything in MMO's. Without friends, nobody is going to accomplish jack shit.

Give us his name, and let him take the rep hit. You will get the last laugh when the greedy little fucker can't get a group or get a guild.

Would you keep a child molesters name to yourself, or warn others?

I've found in my experience that the tanks in groups I've been in loot a hell of a lot more than any other class. If you can be bothered I'd try and set up a designated mainlooter and split every once in a while.

This doesn't always work, though. I've been in groups where we try to use mainlooter, but 1 or 2 people always insist on just looting every other mob right after it dies.

To the OP- depending on the caliber of the item that was taken from you, probly should have posted some names, otherwise your claims don't hold any water.

Are you seriously comparing a child molester to a ninja looter? :confused:

Reputations are important in an MMO like EQ, but it takes a lot more than a single post on a very minor incident to ruin one.

As far as main looting, I hate this. In most exp groups you have a revolving door of new players routinely. It is a lot of work to keep track of loot and money and splits...and in an exp, where you want to keep work to a minimum so that the grp doesn't get tired, you don't need it.

Loot rules are simple imo...
1. Whoever is leader states the rules when the grp starts. It doesn't matter what the rules are, only that they are stated at the beginning so that all know.



2. Since everyone has been informed of the loot rules, whatever they are, the group should say at the beginning if they have a problem with it.

An example might be, "honor looting on vendor trash, alpha on gems, and we will roll NBG on any gear." It doesn't matter...as long as everyone agrees before looting starts.

The sure way to get into problems is to not state the rules until loot drops.

Thats it. Say the rules, say if you have a problem with the rules before anything starts to be looted/rolled on/etc...
