Every group seems to have them - one player who loots 50% of the bodies or shamelessly jumps the line in alpha looting ("oops, I forgot the alphabet"). They're the players who don't turn on autosplit when everyone else does.
How do you handle greedy players in your groups?

Alright so, first a lesson in classic economics. EQ classic economics at least:
Autosplit is flaming garbage
• it splits the number of coins, not the value of the coinage
• it does so as strictly fairly as it can
• If it cannot split an amount strictly fairly, that amount goes to the person doing the looting.
So, say you're in a six-man group. You kill a gnoll and the gnoll has 2p, 4g, 12s and 10 CP on its body.
The person who clicks to loot is receiving 2p, 4g, 2s, and 5C as their split
Everyone else is getting 0p, 0g, 2s, and 1c as theirs
"boy these gnolls sure are broke!" they laugh.
Additionally, coin has weight, meaning that you're burdening all the casters (and the monks!) with their body's weight worth of copper, totally a whopping five GP at the bank.
Of your group is
dead serious about maximizing coinage gains? turn off autosplit and put all loots on alpha rotation.
If you want
fairness, designate a master looter who will harvest all the coin and drops, sell, and then manually split the take six ways with the /split command (which again, will favor him in the case of remainders, but it's far more evenly-distributed than autosplit will produce.)
In the case of people who mix up loot orders? Well, mistakes do happen. However if they happen chronically, they aren't mistakes, they're violations. Call the person out on it, and if they persist? boot 'em. They don't have a right to your group.
