On Lanys back in the day, "ninja looter" just referred to anyone looting shit as soon as it dropped. Usually this would be someone in group looting a no-drop before anyone even got a chance to roll, but could also be someone from outside the group coming by and snagging it because someone didn't have the corpse locked. With tradeable items, eventually the term "ML" came about (main looter) who was just someone who looted everything until the group finished clearing mobs then everyone would then roll and the ML would distribute. Then lastly, "NBG" which was actually pretty nice when an item would drop that was only usable by you, and also an upgrade...it was yours.

As far as "power looting"...not sure what game OP was playing, never heard of it in EQ and I was playing this 15 years ago.
