Best way to roll for loot

[bOONDOGGLE]

/ran 100 everything.

One day you'll lose on a Fungi, JBB, and Bane of Nife while playing your Shaman.
Next week you'll be corpsing RBG's cuz you can't sell em fast enough.

Every dog has his day.

NBG will never work here. People would just put on bad gear to get items.

Do people really corpse items if they win 2 rolls every time? That's the only thing that shouldn't happen. I mean does the group have to go find a rez for them, just so they can have all the loot? And it's exploiting a glitch really.

Here's how I've handled loot distribution in other games that I see no problem working here in EQ:

You're a farming group and you're farming for Fungi Tunic at the King or for Hiero cloak or whatever big ticket items. The item drops, everyone gets to roll. You keep farming, another item drops. Everyone rolls again except the person who has already won an item. This improves the chances of everyone who didn't win. Usually when I'm doing this, it's with guildies or friends who are settled in for a long farming session.


A more fair method that only really works with guildies/friends is platinum split. This only works if people are there for profit. The items get sold and then the platinum delivered to each member after the fact. There are trust issues with this so like I said, friends/family only unless there's a person who is a known trustworthy person on the server.

Why should the person who won stay in the group if he has no chance of winning becuase he cant roll? You're essentially wasting your time at that point

Cobalt bracers, spells, xp, goodwill to those who helped him, companionship, boredom... Fine steel maces? Okay I'm starting to run out of ideas.

I remember the first time I did king on blue.

Guy that won the roll. Had to corpse his fungi.

I was runner up. That's when I realized it was time to check out red.

Own multiple fungi's on red, never looked back. Multiple epics. Every pixel I ever wanted. Without having to wait in line on blue or poop sock shit.

Not a fan of NBG, ive seen it abused. With people showing up to xp on there 50's alt in legit rags. Needing everything. Then find out later they have multiple 60's in gear. Yet im on my alt with bis helping the grind going.

Also a pet peeve of wanting to random everything and people in the group feeling like captain save a ho hero's. Passing on items. Then rolling winning the roll and giving it to the slime that is in rags saying NBG.

random greed everything problem solved

Must be nice to have a bunch of stuff on red and only empty zones and NPCs to show it off to [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shits classic right?
Edit: I was perusing the play nice policy and saw nothing about ninja looting not being allowed. So if a player doesn't care about his reputation I could see this happening quite often lol.
