View Full Version : Calamitous Intent - "you don't mean anything to me"

Context, I got invited to CoM and grouped for about 4 hours at stables before needing a break and I left. I came back later and some of them had moved to temple, so I rejoined them there. Previously while at stables I thought the ranger in our group was looting corpses as soon as they died. I don't care about loot but I found it very strange a behavior choice.

[Thu Mar 25 05:43:38 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'INCOMING a vapor golem'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:11 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'im ready to call it'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:14 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'whose comingwiht me'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:38 2021] You tell your party, 'catbread whats with you ninja looting?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:44 2021] You tell your party, 'I dont care about loot, I just found it interesting'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:48 2021] You tell your party, 'do you actually spam click the mob?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:44:52 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'cats greedy '
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:13 2021] Catbread tells the group, '?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:14 2021] You tell your party, 'I thought it was the ranger before'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:18 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'INCOMING a fog golem'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:20 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'I looted my fair share'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:21 2021] You tell your party, 'as soon as the mob dies you're looting it'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:25 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'last mob guys'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:30 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'i need a break'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:35 2021] You tell your party, 'im not worried about the loot, I just wanted to know why'
[Thu Mar 25 05:45:47 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'gotta bank take cat to feerrott and run to cb to give this dagger away'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:14 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'kill'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:14 2021] You tell your party, 'um'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:17 2021] You tell your party, 'no hp'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:26 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'mez'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:34 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'oom'
[Thu Mar 25 05:46:49 2021] You tell your party, 'why dont you answer my question'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:01 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'I don't understand what you're accusing me of'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:07 2021] You tell your party, 'im not accusing lol'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:09 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'didn't you just get here?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:16 2021] You tell your party, '???'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:24 2021] You tell your party, 'I was with you at stables'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:32 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'at 50 lets kill golem'
[Thu Mar 25 05:47:46 2021] You tell your party, 'im not accusing, I just asked a question.'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:05 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'what do you want me to say, you don't mean anything to me'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:13 2021] You tell your party, 'interesting response'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:22 2021] Catbread tells the group, ':)'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:26 2021] You tell your party, 'is that the official stance of calamitous intent?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:38 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'lmao'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:40 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'you're a tool'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:44 2021] You tell your party, 'interesting'
[Thu Mar 25 05:48:58 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'who looted what'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:00 2021] You tell your party, 'well I hope you have a good day and safe travels'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:04 2021] You tell your party, 'nothing rebale'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:08 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'the bard dagger?'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:13 2021] You tell your party, 'I just asked why they looted as soon as the mobs died'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:16 2021] You tell your party, 'nah idc about loot'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:18 2021] You tell your party, 'later yall'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:22 2021] You tell your party, 'caladis ty for the group'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:25 2021] Rebale tells the group, 'like that'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:25 2021] You tell your party, 'rebale great tanking'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:27 2021] Caladis tells the group, 'cuz we poor'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:32 2021] You tell your party, 'catbread see you on the forums'
[Thu Mar 25 05:49:33 2021] Catbread tells the group, 'enjoy being carried, Egis'

Wasn't carried, I did a considerable amount of damage as a rogue and have the logs/parses to back that up.

It's a shame Calamitous Intent doesn't care about people who contribute to the group. Especially when faced by a simple question of why someone does something with no strings attached or hatred in the question.

Enjoy RnF

Once upon a time in the way back when, it was considered rude to your group to loot while you still had mobs to kill. Its still annoying today when people do it, espeically when its the tank and you have a puller trying to keep mobs coming and shit dipshit paladin or whatever is slowly linking you the latest gem drop. Stand the fuck up and tank these mobs jackass.

Agreed!

People get butt hurt over loots, that won't ever change. BUT... It's pretty funny when someone gets butt hurt over corpse change. Rogues are greedy little things, hes just upset because he's not as good at ninja looting the pocket change.

OP needs to work on his ninja looting.

Also, bashing an entire guild over the actions of an individual is a dastardly thing to do.

You don’t care about the loot but yet you run here like a little bitch and complain about not getting loot. Be quicker on the loot click next time. Hopefully I get grouped up with you so I can loot every single mob while you run to RnF and cry moar.

I hope people loot as fast as possible so I don't have to keep pressing my /hidec hotkey all the time because I hate corpses existing. I want to see that corpse start to fade as soon as the body hits the floor.

If someone loots something I need I will tell them to give it to me. And if they want something I looted, here you go. Keeps things simple and friendly.

This thread has been an interesting reflection on how people think in 2021.
Instead of talking about the rude behavior of someone on P99. They blame the person just asking a question.

By the logic presented in this thread...
If I walked up and punched you in the face.
I should criticize you for asking why I did it.

This looks like a poor choice of opening line if you want to have a level conversation. Someone who talks this way is either looking to rile someone up or has the social graces of a grumpy skunk.

Danth

I didnt know how else to word it. That was the action they were performing.
To ninja loot is to loot something very quickly, it's been a definiation in mmo's since EQ.
Seeing this thread and reflecting on the events, agreed poor choice of wording.

Danth
03-25-2021, 08:31 PM
"Ninja looting" is also understood not merely to be quick looting, but quick looting when other folks want stuff, too. If nobody cares then the same action is simply a matter of clearing corpses quickly. At any rate it happens a lot on the internet--for whatever reason folks give others way less benefit of the doubt online. One person says something that's perhaps intemperately worded, other person immediately turns hostile, things go downhill from there. We've all seen it.

I used to do an insane amount of loot hogging in Sol B, but if I didn't, the corpses just rotted and the tank/puller was actually complaining about people not cleaning up corpses. Always felt kind of fucked up though because I was literally getting 90% of the loot.

Playing a warrior this time around, I've found myself doing a lot of the looting. When I feel like I've been looting more than others, I periodically do a /split 30 or whatever, which sends plat to the others (no, I don't load them with silver or copper). Maybe this practice would help people feel like plat is being distributed more fairly.

I also mouse turn most of the time, which causes accidental looting, so I prefer to either hide corpses or have someone loot them. People who want a slice of the plat, please, start right-clicking corpses and get them off my screen. Just like BlackBellamy said.

I think a better response in this scenario would have been to simply start looting things more often; or to say something like "Mind if I loot some of the corpses?"

The 1-3 plat from trash mob corpses isn't important. If raising plat is the goal, you gotta /random for some items that drop and tunnelquest them. Or farm some guards for swords, etc. I wouldn't flame a player nor guild over exp group looting.

What Potatus just said. OP, you came off wayyyy wrong way of doing things. EQ is about community. Always approach as an adult. and not just accusing right away. Seriously instead of accusing someone of ninja looting, just say hey I wouldn't mind getting some looting in if that's cool. I'd say 90% of the p99 player base would be like sure have at it. Will say as melee we loot all the time(more so our strong orge arms), bc it clogs up the killing area. Personally though in past when I used to loot a lot of trash. Would offer up to group(Ie giving FS/gems to the cleric/casters whos stuck Medding). But even doing that most time its "I can't carry that, but thanks). Its all about respect and how you treat your fellow gamers. Just don't be a "drop reavers on you guy", or how your coming off in that Logs.

Also side note. CI = one of the more respectable guilds on this server. Seriously of all people GM races against, or goes into planes to take mobs. I'd say CI/Castle/BL are generally nicest peeps there. And CI/Castle generally nicest peeps I run into around Norrath(other then my guildies <3)

So would be wise not 2 attack a whole guild.
