[Brut]

Some ranger was doing it for 1k months back, but he failed and gave up after some 30mins.
Camped it meself twice since it's actually suprisingly easy.

Saying that I used to sell loot rights stuff back on live, it's a decent way to make money. People pay for stuff they didn't have to camp themselves...

Ain't that essentially the same thing as camping a droppable item you don't need and selling it afterwards?

That seems slightly more wrong to me as you're preventing someone who might want to camp it for themselves. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Aaaand if you're selling loot rights, it usually means that while some guy was after the item, you took the camp and then want him to pay for whatever drops from the camp that you didn't need. So essentially it drops, it's gonna rot, but you're demanding him to pay you or you'll destroy it or whatever.

Yeah it is essentially the same as camping a droppable item, you're spending your time to do it etc etc. so i don't see why you shouldn't charge for it.

I'd like to think that whatever you're camping, there will be someone willing to pay for it. It serves no purpose to hold out on a fixed price for loot rights as if you don't sell it it does indeed rot, hence why a negotiable price is usually employed.

Easiest way to get rid of people selling loot rights would be for no one to offer to pay for them when they do drop... but of course we know that doesn't happen, hence why people auction loot rights in the first place [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Whilst it is implied that the alternative to having no one buy the loot rights is that the person lets it rot, I would be highly surprised if this was actually the case.

I understand someone who is trying to sell loot rights, they're just trying to make money. It's a lame way to make money, but all the same.

What I don't understand are people who actually buy loot rights. I guess some people are that hard-up.

What is so hard to understand? Not everyone can track and some of the zones are huge. Not everyone is in a guild either.

There are perfectly good reason to buy an item loot right.
