Heh, I've never once seen anyone with this attitude in game...

Edit: Actually I did at one point - His name was Gmuk

he's right though, sorry. if you're in a group of random ass people, you're an idiot to give away an 80k item. what loyalty do you have to that person? if he's a guildie, sure, why not?

I'm right though, sorry. He said letting people need any item above 2000p is retarded and the only person I've seen who wouldn't let someone loot a 2000p item that they were going to wear was Gmuk.

I enjoyed seeing people get SMRs. GRATS furthering your character instead of my bank

NBG on anything not worth over like 15k imo. Etiquette seems to vary from person to person and group to group on this server though.

Back when I played on Bristlebane, groups generally used round robin or assigned a master looter, and people normally asked/were told how the group was handling loot on joining.

Here, however, looting (and I'm speaking of simply vendor trash here, so this mainly applies to lower level groups) seems to be very rarely discussed and most people go with the flow. It seems many players don't care about trash drops, which is understandable, but on the other hand there are some players who like to loot as much as they can carry as fast as possible. It annoys me very much to see the same person continually looting while others take nothing (mainly casters medding), but - unlike Live - no one ever calls them out for being greedy.

Going further, if no one talks about how loot is handled, is there a general rule for how valuable drops are rolled on? I have personally always been in favour of NBG, but you would be shooting yourself in the foot if you passed on an FBSS because of NBG then later lost your GEBs due to all greed.

*Etiquette even >_>

1. I've actually had people start bitching at me for looting a mob or two in a group because 'they needed money more than I did'.

2. This is EverQuest, not WoW. It's CAWU and FFA where the big kids hang out.

3. Most people aren't going to sit at a camp something like an FBSS or whatever to not roll on it.

In regards to spell drops, most people who aren't total shitbags will either pass on other loot once they get a spell or if a spell drops give away what they've already won.

I generally never loot a thing, then let people die who are f*ckwits. Then train them later on.

this is eq, not soviet russia.

any item of value will nearly always be greed rolls. as far as general vendor trash loot is concerned most people in the high end dont give a care in the world. even items like "helm of rile", which may be usefull to someone are usually just vendord, people (in the high end) here are only after BIS items.

NBG is pointless in a group of strangers. And on top of that, you simply can't trust people. If a fungi tunic drops and it instantly goes to the monk in the group because he's the one that can make the most use of it, you're killing everyone else's chances of getting something nice. As a caster if I ever reach level 60, what incentive would I ever have to join a spore king group? Risky, takes a long time, and no chance of getting anything at all? No thanks. I've met people in WoW with this mentality, who greeded on everything, including the stuff that can only be vendored. Sounds bad at first, but in a game full of a-holes, you simply can't move ahead unless you become an a-hole too. Random is fair. Cant argue with fair.

Personally, I would go with NBG always, unless the group majority disagrees up front. Granted, somebody could lie, but if they get caught in that lie word should be spread. Of course, the group leader decides what need means, unless the group majority over-rules him.

That's the old school way to do things IMO. But hey, its just my opinion.
