That player is actually well known among the veterans who play this game. He wanted to remember talking to you. But he didn't because he can't. See, while we were over here playing games, he was fighting to defend our right to play them. And he took an artillery shell to the head.

For the love of Pete, let the ninja looting barbarian rogue with short term memory issues due to fighting to defend our freedom have the mask.
LOL

Lol, yeah Goon... if your talking about the barbarian corpse, name was Thevor. Goon I think my group last night helped you get your mask. Think I had 3 masks drop in my group last night. In only about a 3 hour span.

Roof, Tuffnuff, and Goondu grats on masks! Apologies to Korhilis... not sure what happened but you'll get yours in due time.

Anytime I can help make more Dark Elves and less halflings is always a good thing!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

is it technically against the rules to snipe some guy's mask once he logs on his alt? i don't know, but you're a shitbag if you do it
It is against the rules to loot anything that you didn't kill without permission. Even if the person logs out or lets it rot, you still can't loot it. Of course if the person doesn't care it's fine but if he does like in this case, if there is evidence GMs will probably rule against him.

There is a petition forum to post this OP, not the general chat.

Incorrect. There was a ruling on this not long ago that if you killed something and logged (i.e. Log to another char so you can loot said item) you forfeit loot rights.

This keeps someone from perma camping an item such as VP key parts and Ancient Cyclops rings etc. because you also can't corpse items using the same strategy.

If you are doing a camp like this for an item for another char you run the risk of someone else looting it unfortunately.

Maybe it's case-by-case but when I had someone recently loot an item from something I killed while I was switching toons, the item was returned to me by GMs quite promptly. Stuff like AC is handled these days by forcing the person camping to release the camp after one item drops regardless of who loots it.

I would double check this with a GM, because it has never been this way, even after the PNP rules update. You can log off and log on another char and loot the item, you do not lose loot rights because you log off. You can however lose camp rights if you log out or zone out, and I think you may be conflating these 2 policies.

Warning to those reading, you cannot loot someone else's kill without permission.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

By this logic you shouldn't be able to loot it on your alt either since he took no part in the kill. (Hint: this logic is wrong)

Rights go to the player, not the character.
