Rules regarding no-drop items and multiple characters

That's not completely true. Even at the low standards I hold for you all, I think you can manage to refrain from ninjaing gear.

If you could loot corpses there's would be trolls in sky looting shit all the time. Absolutely can't ninja a corpse

Yeah but that's the whole point of the timer. Pretty certain on live back in the day it was always once the timer expires it's FFA.

Personally the kind of behavior of camping something with your high level char so you can twink your alt with no-drop stuff is pretty damn lame anyway. Especially people doing it to get their alts epics

Still not as lame as camping them to sell the mq

No argument from me. I think MQs should be banned or made impossible.

That was the rule back on live and it should be the rule on P99. The corpse timer isn't there to twink out your alts. It's there to free up server lag.

That said, I ask before I loot a rotting corpse, as I read the rules. However; if no one else is in the zone (/who all, and I'm the only one there) and the timer is at 10 seconds or less, I will safely assume it's abandoned and I'm sure as hell looting it.

So to start, thank you to everyone who has taken time to post your thoughts on this. I honestly didn't expect this conversation to get quite so big (thought it was a pretty open and shut question).

My current understanding/takeaway is that if you want to use one character to kill for another character, you should be able to expect to loot the item on your other character, though you run the risk of losing the camp (which makes perfect sense). It seems like it is a good idea to inform those in the immediate vicinity and perhaps the zone that you are logging to another character to loot the corpse, and that you are claiming it. It would also be a good idea to have your second character camped at the kill site, if at all possible.

Interestingly enough, I am not killing for a lower level character. The opposite, in fact. I am planning on using a lower level Ranger to track/kill for my higher level Wizard. The Wizard is more than capable of killing the mob on his own, but not having track is a large limitation for an outdoor pathing spawn that can spawn in multiple locations.

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts, and see you in game.
