Wow, I sense the passive aggressiveness in this. I think this might be the salty bard who put me on the no loot list which was probably a result of him getting his feelings hurt.

I was querying whether or not an esoteric server rule, which is contradictory to pure game code, exists. This isn't ninja-looting, this is looting negligible-value-corpses left to rot unlooted as a free action ungoverned by another player (which can be very subjective and therefore bad).

Please quote me saying that the rule is unfair, otherwise you're fabricating things. If you want something to quote, here, quote this: I think that in the context in which I framed it earlier, the rule is ridiculous as provides an arbitrary basis for discrimination and enables unwieldy subjectivity to be applied to particular persons. This rule conflicts with the loot possession timer (pure game code) which extends looting rights of a corpse to the entire population of the server after a given period time. To say that you own a corpse and can dictate who or who does not loot it as a subjective choice is to negate the loot possession timer, which is hard game code. This isn't me saying it's unfair, this is me saying that it conflicts with pure game code.

Also, guide didn't "shut me down" as you claim, he verified whether or not the rule existed, which was the point of this post and I in fact thanked him for verifying the existence of this rule. The other point of this post was to show how ridiculous this rule is in some contexts.
