This looks like a poor choice of opening line if you want to have a level conversation. Someone who talks this way is either looking to rile someone up or has the social graces of a grumpy skunk.

I didnt know how else to word it. That was the action they were performing.
To ninja loot is to loot something very quickly, it's been a definiation in mmo's since EQ.
Seeing this thread and reflecting on the events, agreed poor choice of wording.

"Ninja looting" is also understood not merely to be quick looting, but quick looting when other folks want stuff, too. If nobody cares then the same action is simply a matter of clearing corpses quickly. At any rate it happens a lot on the internet--for whatever reason folks give others way less benefit of the doubt online. One person says something that's perhaps intemperately worded, other person immediately turns hostile, things go downhill from there. We've all seen it.
