Mob Camping Rules

[Arrisard]

People have had disciplinary actions for taking items off a mob because a corpse went "public" because they did not have the owner's permission - I've seen it at both group and raid sized events.

People trying to say otherwise are either trolling or monumentally retarded. You *really* believe you can just walk by and take whatever off a corpse just because it's "public"? rofl

It is my opinion that in this specific situation, the original poster had given up his claim to the loot by logging off.

If you want to misrepresent this position, you are certainly free to do so.

The only misrepresentation is the one that you assert there is some unspoken exception to the stated server rules. And in all actuality, specifically refute what you are claiming.

Your opinion is wrong.

This is far more similar to dropping items on the ground for an alt to pick up than loot on a raid mob, therefore it is unreasonable to apply raid rules to the situation.

Individual opinions may vary.

Calling out the noobs is a noob and has called himself out.

No one can loot a mob I kill without my permission, even if I log out to another char. What they can do when I log to another char, is take my camp.

Have a great day everyone !

If the timer goes and u log to a alt it it becomes open you better bet your ass im gonna loot it and im well within my rights to do so.

You had 5 mins to loot whatever was on it you clearly didnt and the loot is now open to me

There's a distinction between 'rules', and 'things that would make people mad'. The 'rules' are enforced by the system. When the corpse goes public, its public, period as far as the system is concerned. Those are the 'rules'. The devs have stated there is an exception for raid mobs, and thats all well and good, but if it's not directly enforced by the system there's no point in calling it a 'rule'.

I totally agree you shouldn't loot someone else's mob that you are aware they are logging back in for, but that's a community standard and not a 'rule'.

^ False, no such distinction exists. Such a distinction is explicitly rebutted: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...19&postcount=1

...

no, they don't. The system makes the corpse public. You mean they SHOULD have loot rights exclusively. I agree. But they don't.

[Frieza_Prexus]

Naelor, if that is the case I ask that you respond to the statement from Rogean that I have referenced.

We cannot infer that the system allows loot rights to go FFA just because a corpse unlocks. Otherwise, ninjalooting could never be punished.
