Whole server found out about it and was up in arms. I'd coerced 60 people into wasting hours of their time for my own personal gain, and nothing worthwhile dropped for anyone else but one bard (2 scales, bracelet, useless horn).
I'd excused the whole thing to people by claiming that I wanted a cloak (this was mere weeks before focus effects were patched in). They said they'd have a bard trade me a cloak for the scale. I declined, and after buying the cloak with my ill-gotten gains I still had a pile of plat left over. I then later sold that cloak when focus effects came (it had spell haste 3) for 50k more than I bought it, then when the focus on it got changed (ID3, not nearly as useful) bought it again and pocketed a 40k difference. Ended up with almost 100k in profit from that raid, for so little effort.
I was 15 at the time so I was inordinately proud of pulling it off.

I am jealous. I had hoped I'd be able to run this scam on any pickup raid I've ever done.
In hindsight I'm glad I never had the opportunity to because your reputation on Rodcet Nife was on
blast for every thing you did, good or bad.
