Group loot etiquette

[maxtorps]

Hi all.

I'm genuinely new (only L27) and have just recently started grouping. Back in the day about twenty years ago, it was the done thing to have autosplit on and obviously take turns in various ways on distributing loot. Need vs greed and all of that. No issue there. I'm poor and need most nec stuff, anything else is greed or clashing needs and people roll.

I was just told tonight though that autosplit doesn't work properly and it basically serves no function other than to spam and to weight people with copper... and to turn it off.

Some (most) people in the group were obviously very experienced and were in game rich so didnt need anything, especially anything that dropped at that level, whereas I was too stupid to loot... until they told me this.

So what is the current state of autosplit and the current loot etiquette? Just so I get it right and I'm up to date.
