I have to laugh at this whole thread...people all over the forums praising green because all the toxic players are on blue, yet here we are. Same toxicity, different server. Damn, shaming and naming over a freaking gnoll fang. You guys need to chill out.

Yeah I was always confused by that expectation that there wouldn't be any toxicity on Green. The toxicity on Blue doesn't primarily start until the raid scene because Blue has been around so long that when people are leveling they're generally fully geared up and just casually leveling their alt (plus there's no competition for many valuable turn ins in the early levels such as Gnoll Fangs, Bandit Sashes, and Bone Chips). So people don't care enough to be toxic.

Green was never going to be this miraculous experience with zero toxicity. There are plenty of players who are completely toxic about maximizing their XP and loot to the nth degree (Ginix to name one).

Dood, how hard is it to "play nice" whatever that means. "Nice" in this case means reporting someone for doing something the mechanics allows. Not nice is being that bard, fuck that guy with a spoon.

Okay, so the Play Nice Policy on the forum differs from the one on the Wiki. So much for a clear set of rules. No wonder people are confused.

I found one reference to this topic on the forum-version of the PNP:

Quote:

4. You may not Ninja Loot.
Ninja looting defined is when a player, disregarding the players or player who killed a mob, loots an item that is generally regarded as significant or valuable from the mob they did not kill. This is strictly prohibited and will result in removal of the item(s) and any appropriate disciplinary action.

Not very clear and still invites plenty of interpretation. This is also suggests that people were mostly right in this thread, so I'm still confused about what the misinformation is.

This rule does not draw a distinction between mobs that were killed within your group and outside of your group. There's so much that's not clear here. Again, it's not the players' faults that this is confusing.

Because logically players should be allowed to loot corpses once they've passed the public timer. That's the way this has always worked in EverQuest. If P99 has decided to diverge down a different path, then that specifically should be mentioned in the ruleset. The above-mentioned section could easily only refer to mobs killed when several people share the kill credit. That is generally where the term "ninja looting" is used in EverQuest.

Agreed, he should have said, "yo man those are kinda valuable, there's a PNP, please don't loot ours, ok?" The bard guy was polite. Manners greases a lot of gears all around.

Is it possible to "loot", but not take any items, thereby just holding the mob past its FFA timer in a state that no one else can actually loot it? Then when designated looter gets back, active looter just "Done"s, and designated looter can actually grab the thing.

What if there was some sort of mechanic that allowed players to resolve disputes, be they personal (player conduct) or over resources (camps, items, etc), using the game's combat system?

There is but then you gotta deal with being in a void of autism with only 20 people, and that’s being generous.

So much loot entitlement in this thread, even after GM input

Smashed · #60 10-31-2019, 02:31 PM

Not to be offensive, but just out of curiosity...what flavor of mental disorder drove the OP to make this post about a missing gnoll fang? Most people who played on live and are unfamiliar with the rules here would have looted that fang. Where is the understanding?
