pretty sure u never got punished on live for looting an unlocked corpse. that is some custom p1999 BS right there, implemented by overzealous emulator mods that don't understand the nature of a sandbox and work to destroy the sandboxness.

i ran into icewell after dain was killed on one of the prog servers (server wide raid kill announcement) looted everything, and gated.

Gms took it all back besides one item that I couldnt equip.

Back on live we had a low lvl Bard ninja loot King Tormax gloves from us. A GM showed up immediately and got them back to us. Not sure what the Bards punishment was.

So I read the first few pages of that chanter ninja looting thread and it leaves me wondering.

Why are corpses not just lootable by the group who killed the mob? Why even bother having the timer that makes it lootable by some random passerby?

Why is it bannable/suspendable to loot a corpse that is now considered lootable by anyone?

I understand that it is a huge dick move to roll up on a corpse you didn't kill and loot it. Its your fault for not looting what you wanted off of it after you killed it.

I think enough people have answered this. Lock the thread! LoL

1.) The timer is there for raiding purposes.
2.) It's bannable/suspendable because you shouldn't do it.
3.) If there is an item you want on a rotting corpse and someone didn't announce it globally to come and get it you should ask and not just loot a high profile mob's corpse because you can.

Sums it up, I think.
