Looting Rules

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.

Now I feel bad looting all those wasting away chunks of meat and ruined bear pelt littering East Commonlands with seconds left on the corpse... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember people doing loot locks where they would park a character in loot on a mob past the unlock time waiting for the intended looter to arrive.

We did this just the other night waiting for our buddy's SK alt to show up and loot an Ashenbone Shield off of General in Kith.

So this means I can get people in trouble by killing a mob, waiting in the shadows and as soon as someone goes to loot it. I jump out and shout MINE! and petition them for loot stealing...

if the gms and guides were robots, sure. understand these are real people, in their 20s and 30s. if you were in their shoes, what would you do? tolerate that level of shitdom or ignore it?

I'm pretty sure Nilbog is from the future, not positive if he is cyborg or otherwise enhanced though.

I swear I thought the narandi head was rotting.

next you know this guy is going to ToV and looting the corpses there because A/A alt #5 didn't get to it quick enough.

I'm just saying that a Bard complained about loot stealing but was the Bard running the whole zone and grabbing 25 mobs to kite? How did the Bard actually know out of all the mobs they were kiting, it was one of theirs?

It's been said several times ITT already but yes, If you did not kill it, you do not have the right to loot it unless given permission by that player/group. The corpse timer is irrelevant.

Not Classic. Plenty of named mobs used to get ninjaed on live without bans.
