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.]

Druids are leaving them there to compost and improve spawns ya know? Don't interfere with nature!

Is it just me, or letting something rot that clearly nobody wants versus letting someone not in your group have it... seem a little ridiculous.. and more importantly.. selfish? Hearing stuff like this and all the raid cesspool drama makes me never ever want to raid. I'm kind of afraid by just existing in someone's raid group would get me suspended or in trouble. Just an observation from a super casual.

I totally agree, I think some people are very jealous (it's mine and you can't have it) or greedy (you can have it if you pay). I'm just trying to relay how I understand the rules.

I'm certainly not going to be one of those people who make ridiculous / unprovable statements to try make themselves seem generous (you know the ones, "I gave away velious quest plate legs, pet spell scrolls, jboots, blahblah blah for free. Look at me I'm so kind").

This all reminds me of the time I was camping xalgoz for his staff.

A couple of TMO's (yeah a long time ago) came along asking if they could loot the HS key part to which I said sure for 5K.

Anyway they looked suprised but just sat there waiting for the corpse to open and proceeded to loot the fang without any payment !!

Off they went with their ill gotten gains, so I sent a tell demanding 5k, and even offered them an extremely reasonable repayment plan if their funds were short!! Next thing I know they've petitioned me and a GM contacts me to tell me to stop bullying them !! I got a good laugh out of it.

Technically I was in the right even if I was just messing about. And yet I'm the one who gets a telling off xD

lol TMO. I went into Droga one time on my necro to grind up some faction. There's about 8 TMO guys sat at the entrance...they're doing Droga AOE for faction. I say hi but they stay quiet. Next pull comes in, I decide I might as well get everything tagged - it all dies. Then one of them says "2k per pull", I laugh and basically say I'm going to tag everything without disrupting the death process. They then ask if I'll help pull more goblins to the entrance. Ended up doing that as a compromise, everybody won. Cheeky gits though, as if there was a chance I might have paid it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can someone post the rules regarding this looting "rule?" I mean an official post by the server admins and not some thread about something that happened in 2012.

I would like to see it in writing please!

I assume your trolling, because it's been linked to, quoted, and a gmhopped in and backed it up.

So far, we have...
If the player says, "yes", loot away.
If not, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lITBGjNEp08

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?
