loot rules should be agreed on when you join the group. if you don't like the rules don't join.

not discussing loot rules until an item is rotting is always a recipe for arguments/petitions/bitterness, etc.

if you don't care enough to agree on the rules before something drops then you shouldn't get all bent out of shape after it drops because loot rules aren't what you assumed they should be.

agreed 100%. this is like.. the meta of scamming. you get a few guildies in 1 group together with some pugs and split all the loot amongst yourselves. even if it DOES come to a roll you all roll for your 1 guildie.
If they went with the whole ffa everything together and he decided ya i got your number.. more power to him.

Was in this group, guy looted items before hand as well, so not like we were hogging all the loot. I was chain pulling and hardly looting anything at all and the 3rd member of guild was a cleric who never even moved to loot once lol.. we even rolled on the soulfire hilt, 2minutes before the cloak dropped.

You're seriously suggesting that the aimbot generation was any better?

Not explained whatsoever, very abrasive group. Guilds name is Storm watch, and they were looting everything made no mention of anything about rules. I've never had this problem with any group before prior to this and as was stated earlier I've never had problems with looting and drops with other groups prior to this. A very big shame for these people who grief players and then when said players play their game, call foul.

i would suggest contacting the guild leader of Storm Watch about this behavior, as i do not think this unfriendliness is sanctioned by them

I believe since this game has been in existence it has been custom for everyone who NEEDS the item to make a roll on it first, then if no one needs everyone rolls for GREED. Not haha I clicked it first I have the item no need to roll now its in my possession thanks guys for helping me kill this mob that I couldn't kill my self then me running away with the loot.

it goes both ways though...just because they don't announce the loot rules doesn't mean that you shouldn't ask. especially when you are sitting on a camp where you all know an item is going to drop eventually it makes no sense that nobody had the common sense to say, "if the cloak drops how do we want to do loot?"

you saying nothing and then assuming it is a ffa is asking for trouble just as much as them saying nothing and assuming it is a nbg or random'd item.

you're assumption that loot rules are by default NBG is asking for trouble like the OP ran into. when you join there should be an explicit agreement about how loot will be handled. "Welcome to group, so you know we are random'ing on all items that drop" or "Welcome to group, everything that drops is NBG." Sometimes items are even reserved for a particular player..."Interested in joining our group? Item X is reserved for Player Y, but we are randoming on everything else." Would save so much unnecessary arguing.

there should be no assumption. the "custom" on p99 certainly isn't NBG (this isn't a statement about how things should be, its a description that most groups on p99 usually random loot regardless of traditional need randoming).
