Consensus on Looting Etiquite?

[bakkily]

over all looting in a group, while fighting mobs, dont loot, cant stand it when i'm in groups and someones always on top of looting 3/4s of the dead mobs

if a item drops, and i'm not a picky player, for instance a jade mace, worth 3k i'm guessing? if someone uses such a shit weapon that they really could use this for a serious upgrade let them take it, i have myself in may was in com, and i cant remember the weapons name, some monk only weapon, and the guy could have used it, small group of 4 of us still trying to form it, everyone randoms, i pass, but the monk said he could really use it for a upgrade, so i said sure, and the other guy did too, but the guy who rolled the highest, and i was typing to group saying let the monk have the item, dudes name who took it was astropunk, we asked him to give back the weapon, he said screw that, so i booted him out of the group

i figure just play fair, make sure everyone wants to have a fun time by complying with each others standards

Anything of any real value, expect the item to be rolled on for selling purposes. After all considering our market, all items are just money that need to be converted. Also why should people with good gear be forced to not profit from the group at all because others are equipped poorly?

Low end, I would say let people get stuff they can use. If you're sitting in Unrest and a Savant cap drops that someone's gonna wear go ahead and let them have it, heh. You're not making the big bucks on that. If the guy is secretly running his scam of the century where he keeps putting savant caps away so he can NBG another one....well okay then I fell for it. =P

I tend to be a quick looter, but I am always giving gems to my casters who are in perma-med mode.

I think NBG is the way to go. When I'm in a group that decides to greed roll on an item that is an upgrade for someone in my group, if i happen to win, i give it to the person that its an upgrade for.

EDIT: I've actually won Need rolls against group members, and decided to give it to someone else instead.

NBG.

If I am in a greed group and win an item and someone in the party needed it I will just give it to them if it is of no immediate use to me. I had the fortunate luck of running into Bubbles, almost 2 years ago now, who hooked me up with almost a full suit of banded even though I could only afford to buy maybe 2 or 3 pieces. Ever since than I have tried to be as kind to every other player I meet on this server. I've even given away pieces of singing steel I've won to people who are in incredibly shit gear because I'm in full planar and at best it would just sit in my bags. I'm broke as hell but I know without a doubt I have made many a persons day which is worth much more than some cash to me.

Conversely, corpses need to be cleared ASAP in most situations and a lot of the time people fuckin' dilly dally around; "Oh I don't want to be that guy". Nothing is more annoying, and sometimes deadly, than mistargets, difficulty click targeting, and accidental looting right when you REALLY don't need it.

One heads up to get something, otherwise it's game on.

Ffa/alpha on gems worth more than 20pp in non-guild groups just don't be greedy, I've grouped with and know many casters who can med and loot, a few ticks of mana here and there are not going to be game changers imo so that point is moot, ask for someone to loot for you if its that important to you. In regards to rares everyone opinion of what constitutes need is going to be different and likely to change depending on situations. My general rule of thumb is .... If you want it call for a roll, those who need it will roll those who don't will pass.. everyone NEEDS money.
