Me and my IB gang have adopted new rules - the yoink rules.

What you do is if you loot a corpse and it has something you want, you loot it, and must say "yoink" in groupchat. If no one complains, you get to keep it.


Essentially people are just too concerned with exp to worry about loot for the most part (on this server as opposed to others from live). I've rarely ever "discussed" loot rules as far as cash went; people have just been sensible about it. I jokingly made up the term "cleric's privilege" when I started casting naltron on my group and I mandated a ruby crown go to me, but that's just cuz I'm a silly goose and I had already looted it.

As far as valuables, when I leveled 1-50 in 2009 it was NBG without question. "Greedy" casters would avoid frenzy groups because it was a "waste of their time" since it was universally understood the fbss went directly to a melee. Once it was suggested that the fbss would "greed" roll...? I was like I got an fbss but um, no?

Now apparently that mentality has changed. I still preach nbg and there are others that do as well, but I won that BIS cleric ring in chardok and had to hand it to the cleric (who I think quit idk but that's not the point). I found it very interesting in seb with the hiero cloak, in basically a very direct analogy to the fbss scenario, someone couldn't believe I said NBG. So ya nowadays I guess someone will say "nbg?" or "greed roll?" when something expensive drops. I would directly ask the person who could use it if he needs it to try to stick nbg on the group automatically.
