So, no one ever did ''lotto'' type loot on their servers here?
 
Was the way of doing loot in pick-ups groups on my server in live, nameless.

Basically, there would be a Main Looter, they'd loot everything and when the group would split / someone would leave we'd all roll and highest numbers would start off with the picks of loot. We'd also /split the ammount of coinage.

Here everyone seems to be hard-up for loot and wanna roll right away.. was my experience anyways last summer when i was lvling up. ;/

I remember encountering this type of looting first in sebilis.

I remember this also. TBH this was the only loot distribution system used on RN at least during Kunark/Velious, it really was just standard for whomever had the inventory space to loot every single mob, then exactly as you said when the group concludes have everyone /random for the droppables.

Same on Drinal around Kunark time... it was easier to manage all the spells and gems and stuff that dropped, assuming the person that looted everything didn't run off with it.

It's too common on this server for groups to have a new member every 45 minutes to an hour for that sort of loot distribution to be practical.

I remember the same, seeing it for the first time sitting out Sebilis dividing up loot.

hmmm guess it mighta been a kunark / velious thing, never realized, as I started playing 2 months before velious or so. I did seem to remember it all the way up to PoP though, when i quit.

i imagine it worked like that long after Velious, i just happened to be fortunate enough to not have to participate in PUGs around that era.

heh when they put AA's in, I mainly did all guild grps too, but the occasional late night / early morning thing.. not many guildies around ;p

pickup groups were quite good actually, back in those days. Except in sebilis when you'd need a tank and the leader would invite a ranger or something... was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!
