Looting Rules

[Kittens]

A bard was kiting numerous mobs near KC and he lets numerous corpses rot because they have no value to him. If he says that I can't loot any of "his" rotting corpses (monsters he killed which don't aren't particularly valuable) once his corpse possession timer has expired, can I still loot the corpses?

Thanks. He was telling me people get banned over this. It seems fair game to me, if you loot a corpse whose possession timer has cleared (and thus allowing anyone to loot).

If you didn't kill it you don't have the right to loot it without permission.

Then what's the point of a loot expiration timer? Is there a place I can see this rule in writing?

So someone outside of the xp group can be given permission to loot it.

Please post a link to these rules.

The Detoxx is strong in you! You will make a mighty neckbeard one day.

If bard was letting corpses poof just to cheese you off, he is just a jerk. Call his bluff and loot it, let a GM laugh at his tears.

I agree if he was just going to let them rot on purpose I don't see why it should matter.

There is no other interpretation or other way to say this.

If you got exp on a corpse, its contents belong to you. If you did not, looting = ninja looting.

i often feel like people are unable to see the bigger picture. The reason this is stringent is to allow 0 room for interpretation.

A GM/Guide always can subjectively rule, but they need an objective basis.

I guess I just feel like a weenie because I am/was always too embarrassed to ask someone if I could loot their corpses while they were standing there, or even if I knew they killed it (so I never looted anything, obvs). I never, in a million years, thought a random bixie corpse in an empty zone would be ninja looting. :| I understand the rule, and I will follow it, just feel bad for not realizing the latter for sooo many years.
